Acrobat X Pro: Put commenting tools in toolbar (like 9 Pro)??

I just udated from CS 4 to CS 5.5. I am hoping I am dead wrong, but when I open Acrobat X Pro the commenting interface looks just like Reader X. There does not seem to be a way of placing commenting tools on the toolbar, as you could in version 9 Pro. I use these features every day for several hours.
Please: someone tell me I am wrong about this: I really need to set it up much more like 9.

Right-click the toolbar and select Quick Tools... There you can select
which tools to place on the toolbar that appears at the top of the
application, including the Commenting tools.

Acrobat Pro 6 Commenting tools disappear

Hi.
One of our big clients are experiencing some, for me at least, strange problems.
A while ago the two tools, Commenting, and Advanced commenting started to disappear from the Tools menu.
When they reinstall Acrobat 6 it is there again , but after some days it is gone again ??
Everything else in Acrobat 6 pro still works just fine
we are talking about more than 50 users, it has been working fine for more than 4 years,
the clients are installed via Microsoft SMS.
Does anybody have any good ideas about what the problem can be
Best regards
Niels.

Acrobat Pro XI comment tool severe lag with rMBP

Acrobat Pro XI on 15" rMBP works okay (still blurry, very frustrating), but when I try to use a "comment", everything slows down dramatically.
I need to know if this is an issue with my settings, my computer or with the Adobe product? If the product, is this a known issue that is in the works for resolution?
If not, I need to search for a different product for my workflow.

Hi,
we have exactly the same problem. Try to measure something. It will work. Try again to measure again and again and at some point it will fail and Acrobat crashes. Ich have the latest Update v11.0.09 installed.
I have recently setup a brand new PC. It worked for a few weeks, but now we have again the crashs. I will try to delete the preferences and see what happens.
This is very annoying....
Kind Regards
Phil

Problems with Acrobat 10.1.4 (Commenting Tools)

The latest Acrobat 10.1.4 (Mac running Mounbtain Lion 10.8.2) shows enormous comment ballons and quits whie tyring to “aend for email review”. Is there fix for this?
Alan

Here is a screen shot that shows the distorted comment ballons.
In addition to quitting when I send a PDF file by email for review, Acrobat Pro will not create a PDf file via the File/Create/Combine Files into a Single PDF option (it reports an “unknown” error). It will however allow me to insert a PDF file into one that is open.

How can I put quicklinks into the toolbar like in Internet Explorer

In Internet Explorer you can Add Favorites to the toolbar - how can I do this in Firefox?

Firefox has a bar for Bookmarks (equivalent of Favorites). To display the bar, you can right-click a blank area to the right of the tabs and turn on the Bookmarks Toolbar. This also is available from the following menus:
orange Firefox button > Options > Bookmarks Toolbar ''or''<br>
classic View menu > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar
Does that do what you need?

Acrobat 9 Pro comments tools are greyed out...

I just installed Acrobat 9 Pro and am trying to use the pdf portfolio feature. All of my comments tools are greyed out. I have checked te security settings and they are set to allow comments. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the quick reply--that was it. I also realized that the docs must be in PDF format to enable comments. cwh

Enable Commenting Tools in Adobe Acrobat under Browser Plug-in in Internet Explorer using

We have a problem in showing commenting tools in Adobe Acrobat under browser plug-in in Internet Explorer. Adobe Support cannot answer my question and refer me to Devnet here.
Our system is using browser plug-in to display PDF file by Acrobat under > > Internet Explorer (document viewer). The PDF documents have reader extension enabled.
We supposed that if a PDF page is viewed and I customize the toolbar, the same toolbar and icon will be displayed next time when I retrieve a page, only if I select "Review and Comment" icon, and it only applies for v8.0.0. If I do not select review and comment icon, or I have selected review and comment icon but > > use other version of 8.x, my selected toolbar and icon cannot reappear next time.
If my selected toolbar and icon do not appear, I can press F8 to hide the icons. If press F8 again to unhide the icons, all my selected icons can be shown this time. But it does not automatically re-appear if I open another documet viewer.
Kindly note that all PDF files have reader extension enabled, and only Acrobat 8.0.0 Professional is used in client PC. There is no Adobe Reader in the PC. The PDF version is 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) or 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x). The user has comment rights since the PDF file has reader extension and Acrobat 8.0.0 is used. User has no problem in mark-up the PDF files, but has problem in showing the selected tools.
OS: Windows 2000 SP4
Browser: IE 6.0 SP1
Acrobat version: Acrobat 8.0.0 Professional
PDF version: 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) or 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)
Steps to produce the problem.
1. Scan paper document and create a batch of PDF files (one page per file)
2. Enable reader extension for all PDF files by LifeCycle.
3. Put the PDF files into a web based interface, entering a page number will open a new web browser which interface the browser plug-in and display the content of the imaged PDF file by Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0.
4. Open a page. It only show a few icons on toolbar (see a.png).
5. Select the commenting icons to be shown (do not enabled in "review and comment)". The icons will be shown.
6. If the browser is closed, then use the web interface to open another page, the selected tools cannot be shown (same as a.png attached in my previous email).
7. Select "review and comment" tool. (see b.png attached in my previous email)
8. The selected tools are shown again (see c.png attached in my previous email).
9. Close the browser, use the web interface to open another page, the selected tools are still here.
10. Unselect "review and comment", the selected tools will be hidden next time when a page is opened by the web interface.
11. Close the browser, and open a new page in web interface, the PDF file will be shown, and the selected icons are hidden.
12. Press F8 to hide icons, all tools are hidden.
13. Press F8 to unhide icons, all selected tools that are not shown in step 11 are shown again
14. If Acrobat 8.0.0 is patched or updated, "review and comment" tool has no effect in "memorizing" the selected tools.

That option is nothing to do with the PDF being editable, it's to control the display of the toolbars. "Reading Mode" is when the toolbars are hidden and the black head-up display navigation bar appears at the bottom of the screen.
PDFs displayed within a web browser with Acrobat/Reader X are not editable, nor can you apply markups, unless you're within a browser-based-review workflow. You have to save a copy locally and open it in desktop mode to make any changes.

How to add the "comment and markup toolbar" in adobe reader 9

Hi there, I've been trying to add the comment and markup toolbar in acrobat reader 9 but I simply cannot do it. I've tried both the Tools and View menus but I cannot add this particular toolbar. Does anyone know the reason? What can I do to get this toolbar? Even when in a pdf document commenting is not allowed, Should'nt I be able at least to see the toolbar unavailable?
Many thanks,
Enrique

Impossible, and illogical. PDF files are not streamed or RAM-cached so if someone is viewing a file they must have already saved it.

Need help creating PDF w/ comment tools available in Reader!!

I'm trying to create a PDF that you can use the "comment" and other proofing tools in Reader. I've tried using Acrobat Pro to adjust the settings so the "comment" and other tools are available in Reader but it isn't working.
Here's what I'm really trying to do (if anyone might have an amazing idea). My company produces a 1300 pg catalog that the entire departmentaround 20 people in totalhave to proof. In an effort to reduce how much paper we use in our proofing process I'm trying to move the department to an "electronic" proofing process as much as possible.
I know that in Acrobat Pro you can comment and mark up a PDF and that you're able to do the same in Acrobat Reader (only the artist have Pro, the rest of the department just has Reader). I just can't seem to find a way to take my InDesign document and allow the "comment" tool to be accessible in Reader.
Anyone know? I know there is a "Review" session thing you can set up, but that's turning into a huge pain since Adobe doesn't want to work with our Mac based network...blah blah, way over my head.
Thanks for the help! (Sorry to be so long winded...)
Cara Brooke

I suspect I already know the answer to this question; however I'll ask anyway in case I'm incorrect. Our Trust only supplies Acrobat 8 Standard or the standalone reader application. Is it possible to use Acrobat 8 Standard to enable a .pdf for commenting in Reader 6+?

Open the PDF in Acrobat Pro 7 or later.
Under the
Comments menu, select
Enable Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader....
This will spawn an
Save As... dialog. Save to a new filename is recommended (such as
[filename] for review.pdf), although you can save over the existing file if you choose or to another location.
Send the resulting PDF for review.
So long as the reviewer has access to Acrobat Reader 7 or later (or whatever version your Acrobat Pro is), there should not be any issues with them adding comments.
I use this all the time, exchanging files for review between Dallas, TX (on OSX) and Birmingham, AL (on Windows).
Older versions of Acrobat Reader will not work.

Commenting tools available with SDK in v. 9?

I have an application which opens a PDF file in Acrobat, using the SDK, and allows the user to add comments/annotations and then save the document. I have been unable to use Acrobat 7 or 8 in my application because the commenting toolbar is unavailable unless a comment repository has been configured - this is unsuitable to my application, I need the changes to be saved directly to the PDF on the users's computer.
I wonder if anyone can confirm or deny that this behavior will be the same in Acrobat 9. My users are having problems because they are stuck using Acrobat 5 or 6, both of which have stability and compatibility issues.
Thanks to any who can give information.

Leonard,
I have seen several articles indicating that Adobe has announced an Acrobat 9 release in the next few months. Here are two of the most definite:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/04/01/piper_on_iphone_shortage_as_update_sign_acro bat_9_for_mac_soon.html
http://www.planetpdf.com/enterprise/article.asp?ContentID=This_week_in_PDF_-_PDF_Office_Su ite_and_details_on_Acrobat_9_released
I was assuming there would likely be some folks reading this forum who have seen the product in beta. Sorry if I didn't make that assumption clear.
With regard to your other questions, I am using the methods documented in the Acrobat Interapplication Communication Reference, specifically the OpenInWindowEx method of the AcroExch.AVDoc class. And no we are not using Adobe Reader, we are using the full Acrobat product.
I'm not sure how to answer your request for more information about my application details. As I said, the application displays a PDF file in a window, using the API calls mentioned above, the user adds comments to the PDF and the application causes the changes to be saved by invoking the appropriate API call. I can't think of any other information that would be relevant, regarding how our application works.
The OpenInWindowEx method, when used with Acrobat 7 or 8, will cause an Acrobat window to appear, but without commenting tools, unless a "comment repository" has been configured in the Acrobat preferences. I don't have the relevant version of Acrobat installed, so I can't be more specific than that at the moment. The use of a comment repository is totally unsuitable to the nature of my application, as I stated before, so I am stuck using older versions of Acrobat.
Thanks for your reply and for your attempt to help. Let me know if my answer has not cleared things up.

Acrobat DC - no customization of tools

Hey Folks,
does anybody know how to customize tools and toolboxes in Acrobat DC. In former versions it was possible to place what's most needed top of the page. Now I need 3 clicks and roll-overs to get most of the comment tools. And - very effective - once used they flip away and I need for each comment to click the tools tab ---- seems adobe mixed up innovation with degradation. Does anybody know how to customize toolbars?
Thanks,
Franco-Uno

Yes, now you can really customize the tools with the new Adobe Customization Wizard DC.

Acrobat 11 crashes when commenting

I did a new install of Acrobat 11.0.01 (from disk) on my MacBook Pro running OS10.8.2 last week. I can open, read, and navigate pdfs, but when I use commenting tools (sticky notes, text boxes, callout text boxes), Acrobat crashes instantly, every time. Text editing and highlighting tools seem okay. Any ideas what's wrong?

[Moved the discussion to Acrobat Forum]

Can commenting tools be used for a PDF document created by scanning another document?

I have Adobe Reader X. It has commenting tools. I
created a PDF file by scanning another docu
ment (a newpaper clipping) to the PDF file for an attachment to an Email. I am not able to use the highlighting tool on the new PDF document. Since I was the author of the PDF document in this case (but obviously did not use Adobe Acrobat to create it), can I somehow enable use of commenting tools for the document?

The highlight tool works for highlighting text that is in the document (as text objects). Images of text, which is what you get with a scan, cannot be highlighted with this tool, even if you had Acrobat.

I am trying to move my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended from my older HP Win7 Pro notebook to my new HP Win 7

I am trying to move my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended from my older HP Win7 Pro notebook to my new HP Win 7 Pro notebook. This should be WAY easy, and it's not. Sofware downloaded from MS/HP after new noteboook was safely home. Used Microsoft transfersoftware to move all--but the Adobe Night watchman won't recognize my product code (it worked on the older notebook). I have now recopied the irginal download and everything seems fine but the IE plug-in to Adobe PDF printer does not function. Any suggestions?

You won't like this response, but there is no way to simply move any Adobe software installation from one system to another. In part, this has to do with the registration/activation infrastructure that Adobe uses. FWIW, Adobe isn't the only software vendor for which you can't simply move software from one system to another via various migration tools.
You must totally uninstall from the first system including product deactivation and then install on the new system and reactivate.
In terms of “fixing” your current system, I would recommend totally uninstalling the software (and deactivating in the process), reboot, and then reinstall from scratch.
