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 Reader XI addon gets disabled periodically in Internet Explorer within Windows domain

    We have a followig problem that happens on new workstations with Windows 7 x64 and Acrobat Reader XI only.
    Every few days (cca 3-30) the following key is automatically added to registry:
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}
    This key has the effect that Acrobat Reader XI gets disabled in Internet Explorer add-ons. So when user opens PDF in IE (or SAP or other Windows software using IE), it is not opened within IE but in a new separate window.
    Can you please suggest what can be the reason for this, like group policy etc.?

    From here:
    http://serverfault.com/a/666205/229754
    I quote:
    Assuming you have installed
    Microsoft Window 7+ / Server 2008 R2+
    Microsoft Internet Explorer 11+ (IE)
    Adobe PDF Reader 11+ (Reader)
    Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection / Microsoft Malware Protection (MalwareProtection)
      the following seems to happen here: 
    MalwareProtection registers a component named Microsoft Antimalware IOfficeAntiVirus implementation (MpOAv) for Extension Validation with IE.
    IExtensionValidation interface
    For Internet Explorer 11, specifies an interface the anti-malware vendors can implement. Vendors that register support for this interface may be called by IE11 to validate that an ActiveX control is safe to instantiate.
    MpOAv registers as a CLSID of {2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}.
    [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extension Validation\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extension Validation\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}]
    You can inspect the detailed properties of MpOAv in the registry. The associated DLL usually resides at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Security Client\MpOAv.dll
    [HKCR\CLSID\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKCR\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}]
    Now everytime IE wants to run an ActiveX control, the registered MpOAv is being called before that and sometimes misbehaves or simply thinks that the Reader ActiveX control is not safe. I have no idea what its behavior really depends on.
    This all results in IE (iexplore.exe) writing 2 keys to the registry: The CLSIDs of MpOAv {2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE} and Reader {CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}.
    [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{2781761E-28E1-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}] [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}]
    From this point on IE will not run the Reader ActiveX control until someone manually removes its CLSID from there. This is the observed problem.
    Will Adobe offer some solution to this issue???
    I confirm the existence of metioned registry keys, looks promising! –  Vojtěch Dohnal 11 mins ago    
    But I fear that removing MpOAv from validation extensions completely will result in less secure browsing for users. –  Vojtěch Dohnal just now   edit

  • Customization of Acrobat Reader X - Remove Comment | Share

    Hello,
    Im searching for a possibility to customize Acrobat Reader 10.
    I need to remove the functions "Comment" and "Share" which are located on the right side of the tool bar.
    Are their any registy keys I can use for this? The only possibility I currently see is using AppSense Environment Manager but we also use server farms which are not managed via AppSense.
    Kind regards

    Okay, I found the answer:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Workflows]
    "bEnableAcrobatHS"=dword:00000000

  • Acrobat/Reader Enable for Commenting

    If I use Acrobat 9 to enable a document for commenting by users of Reader 9 I have a difference in behavior:
    In Acrobat I can check my preference to "automatically open comment pop-ups for comments other than notes" and to "copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups".
    In my case this is very useful.
    In Reader 9 I can not find this options and this options do not get export via the document automatically.
    Is this a non-free feature or did I overlook some configuration possibilities with Reader 9?
    Any hint appreciated.

  • Commenting with Acrobat Reader 9

    We're trying to create PDFs that our clients can notate comments on and send back to us for routing purposes.
    Our problems relate specifically to Acrobat Reader 9. Weve tried creating PDFs from InDesign and from a web browser (for our web jobs), but when the recipient opens the PDFs in Acrobat Reader 9 theyre unable to add comments to them, and we cant figure out why.
    Can you tell me how to make comments on a PDF using Acrobat Reader 9?? We use Mac OSX to create the PDFs and all of our clients are on Windows XP to do commenting.
    Thanks!
    -r

    Hey graffiti-
    Thanks for the response!
    We figured out how to get it to work but the method you described wouldn't do it for us. When I opened the PDF in pro and enabled it for commenting in reader like you suggested, our tester using Acrobat Reader 9 still couldnt make comments.
    The only way I could get the document to be accessible in Reader was to open the PDF in pro, choose attach for email review from the COMMENTING menu, and then on step 2 of the process (where you add your email addresses for recipients) cilck on the button to customize review options and make sure the checkbox for allow Acrobat Reader users to comment.
    Not sure why it wouldnt work the way you outlined... Certainly seems logical that that your method should work also.

  • 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!

    No.

  • Acrobat Reader 9 with an Acrobat 5-8 Created Form?

    Hello,
    I am new to my job working with a ASP application that provides a PDF form (created in Acrobat 5) to users with free form fields the user can fill out. Users have been complaining that when the users upgrade to Acrobat Reader 9 the begin to see a message that "Some features are no longer supported..." and the ability to save a local copy of the file is no longer available. I have 2 questions.
    Was the ability to save a local copy of a form with user-entered data ever a feature of Acrobat Reader?
    Is that an issue that can be corrected by creating the form with the Acrobat 9 Life-Cycle engine or is that a feature that has forever been removed from Acrobat Reader for security or other reasons?
    Thanks in advance!
    - Yohancef

    No I was referring to filled in forms.
    So to be clear, the ability to save user filled in information in a form to your local machine as a PDF through Acrobat Reader IS possible, but has to be enabled by opening the form in Acrobat (9 for example) and enabling some feature to allows Reader users to save the information to the PDF file. This feature is limited though and has a 500 use limit per form.
    Does that sound correct? Do you know the name of the feature?
    Thanks!

    There may be some features that are not supported any more but you may not be using them. That message is just a general warning.
    As far as saving the filled in form, Reader on it's own has never been able to do it. You would need the newer version of Acrobat to open and enable these forms so that Reader users can save them. Be warned that this feature is meant for small-time use and has a usage limit of 500 submissions per form. You'll want to read and undestand the EULA before planning on using it.
    Or do you mean that they cannot save the unfilled form either?

  • Disable Enable Commenting and Analysis in Acrobat Reader for editing

    Hello,
    I want to remove "Enable Commenting and Analysis in Acrobat Reader" so I can edit the PDF with Pitstop or Advanced Editing tools, and everything gets dimmed even though I resave the file thru File > Save a Copy
    How can I go about editing my PDFs after they have been enabled for Commenting in Reader?
    Save a Copy is not working for me.
    Thank you

    The PDF I have is generated from an application called "Rampage PDF PageAssembly"
    PDF Producer: PDFlib Personalization Server 7.0.0p3 (C++/Win32)
    PDF Version: 1.6
    The file contains an overprint Varnish plate.
    I applied the enable commenting, but need to remove and it crashes once I use Save a Copy
    Thank you

  • 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

  • Performance Issues with Acrobat Reader 11.0.0.2 when secure mode is enabled

    Hello All,
    We are experiencing sporadic issues with Acrobat 11.0.0.2 across our domain, users are reporting performance issues when opening PDF documents whether locally or from a network share.
    We have found that turning off Secure Mode helps towards reducing this delay and in the cases it doesn't we are repairing the installation and/or reinstalling the application.
    Due to the security implications we need to leave this turned on, I am wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and what steps were taken towards resolving it?
    I also wonder whether the white list function in the new release 11.0.0.3 would be a solution to this issue?
    Kind Regards,
    Ryan McCarty

    No probelm, so....
    We had no problems with Adobe Reader 9 and 10, we encountered the issues when upgrading to 11.0.0.2.
    Initially we found that turning off the Protected Mode, helped but did not resolve the issue.
    We tried;
    1. Turn off protected mode - issue still present
    2. Clearing the recent file registry using the below registry path and deleting the keys underneath it.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles (this does not turn recent files off permanently). - works but needs clearing regularly
    3. Turning off welcome screen by creating -  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown\cWelcomeScreen - works to improve app open speed.
    4. uninstall/reinstall of 11.0.0.2 - works most likley due to the recent files being cleared.
    5. upgrade to 11.0.0.3 - issue still present
    Following reboots the issue is still present.
    When Adobe Reader is the only application open this issue is still present.
    As mentioned I have no systems available which I could test this issue using 11.0.0.1 as we have fixed them, albeit temporarily using the reinstall method.
    I am concious that this issue is going to reoccur once that cache (recent files) builds back up because the fix above (#2) is clearing the recent files cache NOT disabling it.

  • How to disable save option from adobe toolbar in Acrobat Reader

    We need to disable Save option from Acrobat Reader plugin in Internet Explorer 8/9/10 version.
    Acrobat version is X.
    Is it possible to disable Save ( Floppy Disk) icon?
    We have disabled printing and copying.
    Please help

    You are, I'm afraid, chasing an impossible security that cannot exist. Many have sought this, but it just isn't there -- and there is so much more than the save button involved.
    If you are a big enterprise with sensitive information consider DRM solutions ($$$$+).

  • How to disable Acrobat reader toolbar permanently when rendering PDF with Adobe Reader in-browser

    Hi ,
    I am using Adobe Reader  to view my pdf files which is embedded in the HTML page and running as an activex. I need to disable the toolbar like share the content as email link /attachment  for the security reason.  I am able to find a way to hide  the Acrobat toolbar  but it is visible  by just pressing F8.
    Can anyone please suggest a way to disable the toolbar permanently.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Jobin.

    Hi Bernd Alheit,
         when I try to open a PDF in a browser and attaching the query string as #toolbar=0 makes the toolbar hidden. But in my case I am rendering the form using a formservice - renderPDFForm method with XDP format file as a input file. So I cant use the toolbar=0 option, since there is no url. Rather I have used the   javascript code in the form designer to hide the toolbar. app.toolbar  =false ; But this particular code is not working for acrobat reader X version. Can you please help me how to hide the tool bar.
    Thanks,
    Dhamo

  • Reader X: Printing button disabled in secured file even though printing is enabled in security optio

    Hi,
    I have a document created in Adobe Acrobat 7.0, secured by a third party component, everything except printing is disabled in the security restrictions, but Reader X still disables the print button and the entry in the file menu.
    The document works fine in the newest versions of Reader 7, 8, and 9 (all tests were don using an english Windows 7 pro 64 bit).
    Is this a known bug? I haven't been able to find any mention of this problem.

    So are you saying that you have a plugin installed in Adobe Reader X, which is used to open the PDF file - or that the plugin is solely present in Adobe Acrobat and the PDF file thus created is opening in a standard installation of Adobe Reader?
    If the former, then as the Acrobat X Family SDK is not yet released to the public and there are significant changes in the plugin sandbox of Reader X (thanks to Protected Mode), I'm not surprised that it's having problems. Things that used to work in Reader 9 aren't in any way guaranteed to work in Reader X.

  • Disable online services/features in Acrobat Reader DC?

    With the new update being released from Reader to Acrobat Reader DC, I have concerns with the use of cloud storage and storing sensitive data.
    I have looked around and the only information I have found for disabling these new features are in reference to groups who use the Acrobat Customization Wizard DC, which means they would be running an Enterprise version.
    I have installed and tested the new Acrobat Reader DC on both Windows and OS X, there are no obvious options for disabling the services that I am referring to.
    Services I am referencing:
    Adobe cloud storage service
    Sending and tracking documents
    Syncing across multiple devices (by use of cloud storage)
    Is there a way to disable the use of these services on an individual (non Enterprise) install of Acrobat Reader DC?
    Thanks in advanced!

    You can use the Adobe Customization Wizard DC on both Reader DC (Classic or Perpetual) versions.

    You can also use the Windows Registry to turn these services OFF.
