Missing Commenting Toolbar for Acrobat Reader 9.3

Our company's standard desktop PCs run Acrobat 9.3.4 , Windows XP SPII (still), and IE 8.0
I have 2 PDF files, with the same Reader Extensions applied to both (commenting). The source of the PDF files was from Autocad (plant drawings). They are produced in exactly the same fashion , and in fact were generated within minutes of each other using an automated process.
What I am trying to say is that , from a PDF data structure point of view, these files are the same.
The PDF files are put on a web browser and users can access and open them in Internet Explorer within our intranet.
I know that Reader Extensions works for both because when these PDFs are opened up on user's desktop PC that only has Acrobat Reader in Internet Explorer we dynamically add annotations (using the Javascript API) to the PDF file as well as support other Reader Extension features such as spawning templates.
Here is the problem.
One PDF file has the commenting and markup toolbar when opened.
The other PDF file does not.
And when I right click on the one that does not Commenting and Markup is NOT an option. I cannot find a way to enable this.
This is now a major problem for us as we would like to support adding comments to these PDF files.
I cannot fathom what the difference is that would trigger Acrobat to suppress/ show the toolbar for one file and not the other.
So I have 2 questions.
1. What stops Acrobat from showing the commenting toolbar?
2. Is there some way through the Javascript API that I can force the commenting toolbar on for the PDF file that does not have it?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

We have found an answer.
I still do not know why there is inconsistent behaviour, but if we execute the following Javascript (we are putting it in the /After section), it enables commenting
Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = true

Two-finger scroll doesn't work in the "comments list" in Adobe Reader

Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.07, Mac 10.9.3
Two-finger scroll works great in the main pane. However it doesn't work in the comments list area (View -> Comments -> Annotations).
Dealing with 500+ annotations that I have to approve. Not being able to scroll through them easily is frustrating.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Exporting pdf in Indesign that allows commenting & saving in Acrobat Reader

I have a feeling there isn't a way to do this but I thought I would ask in case there is. I was wondering if you can export a pdf in Indesign CS4 that someone who is using Acrobat Reader X can comment and then save. I know you can open the pdf in Acrobat Pro and select Advance>extend features in Acrobat Reader and that will work but I was wondering if there was a way to skip this step.
Thanks!

Comment toolbars in Acrobat Reader apparently changing in a Random fashion

I am coming across a problem with Reader Extension Enabled documents that are produced from Adobe Livecycle. On occasions the comment and markup tool bar changes with certain tools (notably the sticky note) appearing and others (Attach comment as file) disappearing. this happens between sessions of Reader being opened. It also appears to be random in it's timing and occurrence
Has anyone come across this sort of problem?

We haven't come across a cause or resolution for this. The only things we have discovered are:
The commenting toolbar resets to the default tools (Windows registry entries disappear)
It doesn't happen on every desktop or laptop
It doesn't happen every time
We have been unable to reproduce it in tests
Sorry I can't be of further help at this time

Acrobat 10 - I can't see the comments in the comment list

So I have received a pdf back from a client with comments. I know they are inserted right as I can see them in the comment list in adobe reader. However, when I open it in my Adobe Acrobat 10, I can see the comment icon in the pdf and I can read them on the actual page, but the comments list is empty. This is obviously less than ideal as I can't organise my comments and see how many I've got left!

Click the disclosure triangles next to the other mailboxes to hide their contents. If that doesn't reveal the Inbox, see below.
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Why can't I password-protect a PDF that's been Enabled for Commenting in Acrobat Reader?

What is the point of not being able to password-protect a PDF you have enabled Commenting in for Acrobat Reader users?
We are testing out the option of using the "commented" PDF from the user's end (who just has Acrobat Reader). These PDFs we'll be sending are highly sensitive and need to be password-protected.
We're using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS4, on new Intel iMacs running the latest updated Leopard.
Help?

You need to passsword protect the file before enabling commenting in
Reader. Just don't save in between the two steps.

Page number in Comment List?

Where are the page numbers in Comments List in Acrobat 10.1.3? In prior versions you used to be able to close up comments for individual pages, that function appears to be gone. When working on documents with many pages and comments this was invaluable.
Also is there any way to make the Comments List wider? It's difficult to copy and paste very long comments into InDesign when the window is so narrow, some comments run on way past the bottom of screen.

Basic Feature missing in Acrobat Reader 7

I am totally disappointed, that comments can't be printed by Acrobat Reader 7.
I have just upgraded to Acrobat Prof 7 and Reader 7, expecting to enable projects partners printing comments. Tests have shown, editing comments works absolutely fine in both programs, but printing comments in Reader 7 doesn't work ( - in Prof 7 it does of course).
Is this the Business Politics of Adobe to have the clients upgrade again to version 8 to activate Comments printing in Acrobat Reader ???
This no fair play any more, it reminds me of Oracle and Microsoft behavior ...

Karl

>>>But the result by functionality (from the user's point of view) is generally the same
LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a server product and it is primarily targeted enterprises and large coorporations. Its costs are in the thousands or more whereas Acrobat is the end user desktop version and it costs about $400 a piece.
What makes you think that they are the same? Your argument is "a vehicle is a vehicle". However, there is a big difference between a "motocycle" and a "commercial bus". Even though both of them takes you from point A to point B. But there are capabilities that a bus can do that the motocycle can't. You can put more people on the bus but you can't with the motocycle. You can be comfortable as a driver and passengers on the bus and the ride can last for hours but you can't do that with the motocycle.
It is simple, they are two different things even though they are in the same categoy called "vehicle".
The "motocycle-bus" analogy is comprehensive to a novice because it is a physical things that one can see. When it comes to software, it is a conceptual things that is not too obvious.
>>>I have been in Software development for two decades, it is just copying code form Acrobat Prof to the Reader program at maximum, more probably these lines of code are already in but have been disabled in Acrobat Reader ...!!!
Then you should already know it better if you claim that you are in software industry for 2 decades.
You know Karl, until someone else (maybe it would be you) comes out with something similar to Adobe products, everyone of us still have to pay to use Adobe products.
Remember the day when we had to pay for a browser? Browsers are now basically free and can do a lot more than what its ancestors can.

Comment Pane in acrobat x

Hi There
I'm using Acrobat x pro.
I'm enabling the comment extension for acrobat reader for a specific PDF so my client will be able to add comments when using the acrobat reader x
My questions are -
1. Can I make the acrobat reader open up with the Comment pane open as a default? So the user will know it's there every time the user opens the file?
2. Can I disable the "tools" and "share" panes so only the comment pane is visible?
3. Can I Have a button that displays the comment pane in case it's not possible? The only action I found was to display the comment toolbar and not the comment pane...
Thanks a lot!
Guy

#1 - If you want to open-up Comment pane as default for your reviewer, use Shared Reivew ('Send for Shared Review').

Security features in AA Pro & Acrobat Reader problem

Hi,
In Adobe Acrobat Pro my PDF is shown to have "no security" - everything is allowed.
When I open that saved documnet in Reader 9.4 it has security features I did not put there.
In particular, no adding of comments (and markups).
Any ideas how to resolve problem welcome.

Thanks Graffiti,
There seems no problem with the AA pro - opening advanced features - under security properties everything is allowed.
The problem is that when I open that same PDF in Acrobat Reader (which has no "Advanced") it does nlot allow the adding of comments.
In Acrobat Reader on toolbar under Document > Security > Show Security Properties : Security : Document Restrictions Summary : under Commenting it is marked : Not Allowed.
Any idea how to get around this.
What I want to do is to be able to make PDFs and send then to someone else for adding comments but Reader does not allow this and I am not disabling it when I make the PDF with AA Pro.
Cheers

Acrobat Reader install failing but installer says it completed successfully

I am trying install Acrobat Reader 9 on a Windows XP Pro machine.
The download manager starts, says it is downloading and installing installing the reader, it completes the download, then it says installation was successful, and the download and installation progress bar is at a 100% but it hangs at that point.
Tried closing the download manager it say it is still installing an application, close anyway, and check sure enough Acrobat Reader is not installed.
If I try relaunch, it just goes straight to showing that installation is complete.
At this point if you check add/remove programs the download manager is listed but Acrobat Reader is not. If reboot, then neither the download manager or Acrobat Reader is listed.
At this point if I go back to the download page, and relaunch the whole process it starts with wanting to install the download manager again.
I have tried this with Anti-virus both enable and disabled now affect.
Please help!!

SInce this is the Acrobat forum and not the Reader forum, I have no idea. You might try the Reader forum for the Adobe Reader product. There has not been an Acrobat Reader since version 5, and then it was also a different product.

Acrobat Reader X security, comments disable

Hello, we need to work with Acrobat Reader X. We generate a pdf from a doc file and we add security to disable printing and we enable commenting, but when we open it with Acrobat Reader X we see that printing is disabled, but commenting is disable too. ¿It's a bug from Acrobat Reader X? we know that Acrobat Reader XI resolve it but we can't see in realease notes.

We add security from java with itext library. Wirth user and password:
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, out);
stamp.setEncryption("".getBytes(),"PASSWORD".getBytes(), (PdfWriter.ALLOW_MODIFY_ANNOTATIONS), true);
If we put "stamp.setEncryption("".getBytes(),"PASSWORD".getBytes(), (PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING), true);" we can see PRINTING enable but it we put " stamp.setEncryption("".getBytes(),"PASSWORD".getBytes(), (PdfWriter.ALLOW_MODIFY_ANNOTATIONS), true);" is always disabled.
We use Acrobat Reader 10.1.3 .
I read some discussions like http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2010/12/can-i-comment-on-pdfs-using-the-free-adobe-reader/ but i need an oficial release note where we can read the bug.
ACROBAT X.
ACROBAT XI.
I know that with Acrobat 11.0 the problem is resolved, I tried with 10.1.4, 10.1.5, 10.1.6, 10.1.7, 10.1.8 and 10.1.9. I can't find the list of release notes of Acrobat Reader 11.0.

Acrobat 9 Pro Crashes in Comments List View?

Acrobat Pro (9.3.2) on Snow Leopard (10.6.3).
Often the PDFs I view were created by me and returned to me with comments from clients, typically on a PC. I view and check-off their comments using Comments > Comment View > Show Comments List.
After I check-off a few comments and move to another page, Acrobat frequently crashes. This behavior is the same on two different Macs I use at work and at home.
My searches have not turned up any similar issues... anyone else having this issue or know what could be causing the problem.
Thanks!

Don't know anything about the subject. But you might try saving the the Pdf before going on. If you know how many occurances it takes to crash save before the new item. Past version of Acrobat had a setting for memory Cache. But I've looked in Acrobat 9 and I can no longer can find it. If there was I was going to suggest up it .

Acrobat/Reader cannot cope with internal Webserver connectivity problems, leading to comments being hidden/deleted. Any thoughts?

Adobe Acrobat/Reader do not cope with interruptions to access to the internal WebServer hosting the PDF/XML review files.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
Connection is lost to the WebServer hosting the PDF review files.
After connection to the WebServer is regained, access to the PDF review files is blocked by Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
Sometimes this can be resolved by deleting the entire contents of the folder:
C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Synchronizer
NOTES:
We have experienced this behaviour especially when connecting to the WebServer via VPN. I reckon the connectivity issues could be initially our problem, that Acrobat/Reader simply do not handle.
Clearing the contents of the Synchronizer folder does not always work.
Team members have also seen situations where significant numbers of review comments or status values have been not been displayed, but exist in the XML review files. In some cases comments/status values have been automatically deleted without warning from the Adobe review XML files.
PDF reviews are sent out via email as links to the PDF review file hosted on an internal WebServer.
Writers and reviewers in the team either have either:
Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 with Reader 11.0.08
Acrobat XI Pro 9.5.5 with Reader 11.0.08
I have personally experienced the above behaviour with Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 and Reader 11.0.08.
Could this experience be connected the Synchronizer (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html )?
For example, where a reviewer uses a different version of Acrobat/Reader?
Could anyone please provide a list of compatible versions of Acrobat/Reader?
Expected results:
Adobe Acrobat/Reader should really handle connection issues with a warning and later check for recovered connections.
However, what appears to be happening is that Acrobat/Reader writes some sort of blocking code to the Synchronizer folder that prevents future checks of the PDF review files on the review WebServer.
As far as I understand, the connection issues are not caused by Adobe software, however the problems we are experiencing relate to how Adobe Acrobat/Reader handle this loss of connection.
Plea for Help!
I have checked and the experience of missing comments and persistent "connectivity issues" seems to be a reported but sadly outstanding issue...
This has been an ongoing headache for some time, so solutions would be great, but any thoughts or suggestions are welcome...?
For example, has anyone using SharePoint to host PDF reviews experienced anything similar?
Many thanks!

Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 with Microsoft SharePoint Repository Trial Update
We've completed week one of a three week trial (see above) that will go on until Friday 24th October.
We currently have just four PDF files out for review that make use of the SharePoint repository.
To-date:
Each review file has had multiple concurrent reviewers posting comments over several days from both over the office LAN and also via VPN when working remotely.
Dynamic stamps seem to be working as hoped and are all visible.
We have not experienced any connection-type issues and the we have not had reason to clear out the Synchronizer folder as described above.
Counter balance:
I have experienced the situation with a remote VPN connection, where Adobe Acrobat could not connect to our internal WebServer repository. At the same time, I was able to connect to PDF review files hosted in SharePoint.
Summary:
The experience so far does suggest that problems are caused by the an inconsistent connection to the WebServer repository (especially over VPN) combined with Adobe Acrobat/Reader's inability to cope with the resulting situation.
At the moment I must say that while it is early days, I am hopeful that the combination of SharePoint as the repository and the update to Adobe Acrobat/Reader 11.0.09 will continue to prove to be reliable.
I'll provide an update to this post on Friday 24th October...
Here's hoping!
