Adding Comments-Annotations, Drawing Markups in a pdf on a windows mobile 7 or 8? ?

So there is mobile app for the Android, the iPhone and the iPad...........
but any news or talk about any app from Adobe to use pdfs on a Windows Mobile device such as the Windows 7 mobile eg. Nokia Lumina 900?
At least be able to add comments -Annotations &/or Drawing Markups ???- basic not all of them?
There is an Adobe Reader X, http://www.adobe.com/products/reader-mobile.html but I could not find any information on Windows 7 mobile or Windows 8 mobile?
Another thought- if it works on iPad I guess it would work on iPad Mini or no???

On a 32-bit system, there is a workaround. I do not think it is possible to get AA7 to work on a 64-bit system (no one has reported success and only 1 has suggested success with AA8). You may be able to print to a PS file and then open that in Distiller. I suspect that is the only way and you will have to find a decent PS printer driver to do it. I suspect the printer driver (and associated AcroTray) will not work in a 64-bit Win8 -- Acrobat and Distiller may.

Pencil mark-ups disappear and Drawing Markups box goes black

As I use Adobe Reader X, after a few pages of using the Comment--Drawing Markups tools, like the pencil marks, these start going goofy, disappearing an reappearing. Also the Drawing Markups box goes black, the "find" windows starts to disappear too. Seems like something's corrupted. Can anyone help?
Thanks much.

Hi there
I also bought mine from the US, can't believe the sickening price difference. I've kept the powerlead for when I visit the states and want to use on my iPod charger and as Winston said, just used an existing powerlead (figure of eight). They're actually cheaper to buy than an airport-esque US to UK plug adaptor. The unit automatically does the 110/240v thing, so don't worry.

Drawing Markup and Annotations using Reader with Commenting-Enabled PDFs

I recently purchased Acrobat Standard to produce commentable PDFs for my contributors who use Acrobat Reader.
The page linked below says that I can use Acrobat Standard to "Manage shared reviews, collecting everyone's feedback in one PDF and letting reviewers build on one another's comments‡"
Adobe Acrobat XI
I have used these features in the past with Acrobat Pro, but there wasn't any documentation that hinted at what appear to be limitations. For example, using Acrobat Standard I can send a PDF for email review, but the only tools that my contributors can use with Reader are the sticky note and highlighter. In the past, when I used Pro, the whole suite of markup capabilities including Drawing Markup and annotations like strikethrough were available.
I have looked everywhere for information about how to enable these other commenting tools, but can't find anything. Am I missing something or is this some misleading marketing materials that have led me astray.

You either need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro or the users need to upgrade to
Reader XI, where all of the commenting tools are available by default.

Allow user to fill in a fillable pdf but disallow adding comments and annotation

Hi there. I have a fillable pdf created by livecycle designer. I want to let users fill in the form but prevant them adding comments and annotatons to the form. I cannot reset the above requirements in form property - form security if I have already set a password and allowed user to fill in the form. Can I user javascript to that effect during the document loading?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you save the form as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialogue, then the user will not be able to apply comments. They can only do this in flat or static PDF forms.

Editing Pdfs using the Annotations and Drawing Markups

I regularly use the Annotations and Drawing markups on Pdfs on Mac to edit, but since updating to Adobe Reader 11 everything has gone haywire. The Pdf freezes constantly. Although I can still edit on screen, none of the Markup shows in the toolbar so I can't use it to review or navigate around the Pdf. I can't delete the Pop-ups or markup by right clicking as usual. The Save button in the top toolbar doesn't work - I have to go to the Drop down menu, which takes longer. It's impossible to close any Pdfs by clicking the red top left button - I have to go to the Drop down menu to close. It's hopeless! Any suggestions?

I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.9 and Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I wonder now if I have the right version ...

How can I add a Drawing Markup/Annotation to my stamp while it's being stamped?

I have created Dynamic Stamp and works perfect and its located in my user profile:
C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Stamps\symbols.php
And this works just fine...
Now I want to add a line to the stamp.
I want the user to introduce the length of the line using a response box (app.response)
For some reason when I try to add the line using:
var new_line = this.addAnnot({
type:"Line",
page:6,
points:[[36,373],[613,373]],
width:2,
style:"S ",
strokeColor:color.black,
arrowEnd:"None",
arrowBegin:"None"
After this, the variable "new_line" is NULL, can somebody help me here?
So I cant add the line using JavaScript
Ironically when I try to create a field (text box) using JavaScript it works perfectly ....
var oField=this.addField({
cName: "info",
cFieldType: "text",
nPageNum: 6,
oCoords: [ 20, 20, 1, 1 ]
oField.value = "Hello World !!!";
I am able to insert the line manually when I open the stamp file in Acrobat and add the line under Comment->Drawing Markups->Draw Line. However I want the length of the line to be inserted by the user when the user applies the stamp... Can anybody help me here?

I added 4 annotations to the stamps (2 Lines, 1 Circle and 1 text box)
Then I tried to get the Annotation properties and still no good luck.
The variable is NULL
I used this script:
var aAnnots = this.getAnnots(6);
app.alert("There are: " + aAnnots.length + " annots");
Note: The scrip is in the "calculate" section of one of the field text of the stamp (Custom Calculation script)
Do you want me to send the stamp?

During adding comments PDF got corrupt.

We have given the PDF to our client created using Export option of Indesign CS5 after that we make them comment enable using Adobe acrobat 9 pro software.
Our client freelancer used Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) which was updated on 22/05/14 to give comments on that PDF.
Once again our client wants to add some more comments in the PDF using Adobe acrobat 9 pro. But during this the file got corrupt. Below is the statement given by them.
"I received the proofread corrections back from the proofreader last week but there were still a few extra corrections to mark on. However when I attempt to mark these extra corrections on the proofs myself and then save it, the pdf immediately becomes corrupt and unreadable. IT were unable to solve the issue but they said that it might be some sort of font error. Could you look into this to see if this is an issue. It might simply be the case that it is a very large file and so it has become corrupt for that reason. I’ve never had this happen before on one of my files though, could you let me know if you have heard of it happening or if you know of any reason why this might happen?"
We are also trying the same process at our end but there is no such problem face by us. We even try to add the comment in the PDF worked by freelance using Adobe reader XI but everything goes fine.
We are able to add comment in Adobe acrobat 9 Pro and no file corrupt issue face by us. Is it possible for you to let us know the reason of such problem at our client end. Size of PDF is 178 MB.
Even in acrobat reader XI we dont face any problem in adding comments.
Is anyone let me know why our client is facing this type of problem.

Linda, I'm wondering if there's some "conflict" being triggered because you're using both Win 7 and WinXP --
Specifically, I wonder if the two systems have off-kilter time stamps, and that's why FM is giving the "newer creation date" problem.
I don't quite understand what role the XP system has in your test, though -- can you not just use FM == and == make the PDF on the same Win7 box, make the comment on that box, then import the comments?
Understandably you will probably eventually need to be able to import comments from all sorts of other systems, but for troubleshooting could you try making the full create-comment-import cycle on the Win7 box only?
If that does work, then you might see of you can set the system time on the XP box to be somewhat slower than the Win7 box, and re-try with the XP box in the mix.
Edit: changing the system time clock is suggested only as a testing procedure, to see if we can isolate the exact cause, I'm not suggesting that in order to work reliably all your reviewers would need to synchronize their systems :-)

Cant save PDF after adding comments

Is it possible to save a PDF I have added comments to over the original file. The PDF I am currently commenting on is not read only but I get an error when I try save it over the original file.

I am working in Windows 7. The error I get states something along the lines of " File is currently in use and cant and cant be overwritten, If I enter another file name I can save the file. It could be a number of issues not relating to adobe reader but I am just wondering if Adobe reader allows you to save commented PDFs with the same name as the original document that was opened.

How to minimize the file size of a file with drawing markups

Scenario:
I need to turn a sample of a report into a report template, so I am deleting as many objects as I can with the Tools>Content>Edit Object. For text that I cannot delete that way, I am covering it up with a white box (Comment>Drawing Markups>square and setting outline = white and fill = white). On this particular PDF, there are about 20 of these white boxes. I'm then using Preflight>Flatten annotations and form fields to flatten all of the markups.
Problem:
Unfortunately, even after using Preflight and Save As>Reduced Size PDF, the file size is still over 900 kb. The original file size before I make any changes is less than 150 kb. I need the final file size to be 200-300 kb.
Settings:
Windows 7
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
Solutions?
I may be going about this all wrong, so any advice you have is much appreciated! The only other thing I can think of to do (since I can't get a blank sample report), is to recreate the report in Word and then PDF it. I'm hoping there's a better solution. I tried Photoshop first and the file sizes were in the MBs, so I switched to Acrobat. Maybe a different program would work even better?

Basically that is what Bill is telling you. The best method is to:
create the design of the form in Word.
Save as a PDF (on a Mac the best method is to go to print menu click pdf and hold mouse or track pad button down, and Chose Adobe PDF) .
Then open PDF in Acrobat
Click on Tools
Click on Forms and create form. Either letting acrobat create the fields and add or take away fields as need. Or create fields manually.
This way should you need to make correction you can open the original Word Document, Make chages save as PDF The in open original in PDF. Click on Tools > Pages and choose replace pages and replace desired page(s) as needed. Then readjust fields if needed or add or take fields as needed.

Is it possible to add markups to a PDF that I am not the author of

Most of the PDFs I generate are from other applications (like Autocad) where I "print to PDF" to create the file.   Most of the PDFs I recevie are generated the same way.   Prior to Acrobat Reader 8, it was simple for me and my collueges to exchange information on these PDFs by using markup tools and resending them with markups.   Since Acrobat 8 has come along, I now find it impossible to markup a drawing (no matter if I have created it using Print to PDF or if someone has sent it to me). I went to the knowledge base and see that the drawing has to be enabled for markup in one of 2 ways
In an open PDF, choose Comments > Enable For Commenting In Adobe Reader, and then save the PDF.
Start the wizard to initiate a shared review or an email-based review and follow the on-screen instructions. When you’re finished, commenting is enabled in the PDF that you specify for the review.
Well, there is no Comments selection in my toolbar.   Second method is given by
Quickstart: Start an email review
An email-based review lets you track review status and merge received comments into the PDF.
Click Review & Comment and choose Attach For Email Review.
If prompted, enter your identity information to create a reviewer profile.
Follow the on-screen instructions to select the PDF, invite reviewers, and send the email invitation.
If your email application doesn’t send email automatically, you may need to answer alert messages and switch to your email application to finish sending the message
But there is no Review & Comment button to click.
So, can someone tell me, can I still do a simple markup of any PDF?   Even if I have to jump through hoops can I?    I guess I can understand Why Adobe has done away with this feature in their free tool, as they were not getting any revenue off of it, but it greatly diminishes the usefulness of Acrobat Reader and therefore all PDFs for me.
Thanks in advance for your response.

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

Trouble with Drawing Markups in Acrobat Pro XI

Hello all and thank you for any help that comes out of this.
I use Acrobat XI for several forms for work. They are timesheets. I created these forms from another PDF that was given to me. Part of the use of these forms involves adding Drawing Markups and editing the Markups later. The Markups in this case are simple lines. In Acrobat 9, this was an easy task. I could easily grab the Markups I had inserted and manipulate them any way I chose.
Now, in Acrobat XI, once I insert a line, I basically can no longer touch it without doing a very clumsy work-around. Every once in a great while, I get lucky and am able to get my mouse over that one magic hidden pixel and then I can grab the Markup and do what I need.
It just seems much, much more difficult working with Drawing Markups in the new version.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there an option I don't know about?
Thank you in advance.
Dave

Gilad:
The only choices Acrobat XI gives me are the "Selection tool for text and images" and the hand-shaped "Click to pan around the document" button.
There is a "Tool Set" option under the View menu, but there is no "Interactive Objects" submenu.
Please note the image I have included of the toolbar that I am presented with in Acrobat XI. Does the button you are suggesting I use exist anymore? I haven't seen it since Acobat 9 and I have scanned through menus and see no way to add another Selection Tool to the toolbar. If it does exist, please tell me how to turn it on.
Thank you!

Can you define a specific size of a Drawing Markup rectangle?

Hi all,
I am using Acrobat X and have been asked to find an answer to a 'problem' someone is having.
If you have a site plan of one's property and they submit it to me for comment (as a pdf file) can I draw a box to a specific size? Say I set the 'scale ratio' to what the drawing scale is, I go to 'comments' and from the 'Drawing Markups' pane I choose 'draw rectangle; square', I then draw a rectangle to represent a shed of a specific size. I can dimension how far the rectangle/shed is to be from the property lines and I can dimension the rectangle/shed but I have to play with stretching it to get it to my desired size based on the scale I set.
My question; is there anyway, when I am drawing the box, to either specify an x by y size or see the lenghts of their sides once I pick a corner and start to drag the box to the other corner?
If not, would there be a java script that could accomplish this task?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Paul

Thanks Sabian, I understand that Acrobat is not a vector drawing application and I have been using all those programs (illustrator, AutoCAD, CorelDRAW etc.) for the past 20+ years. It wouldn't seem too much to ask considering that I can set a scale to my page (in Acrobat) and I can get Acrobat to give me a dimension from point A to point B based on that said scale, so why couldn't I expect to put a rectangle markup based on that same scale?
As for the right tool? We are a municipality that is trying to make it easier for the public to submit applications online. Those submissions are in the format of a PDF because it is unrealistic to assume the everyone in the public has access to or can afford a program like AutoCAD or illustrator. Likewise it is too COSTLY to have everyone in the city have say 'AutoCAD' or even 'illustrator' to view the application documents to markup and send back.
I believe In 1991, Adobe Systems co-founder John Warnock outlined a system called "Camelot"[3] that evolved into PDF (from Wikipedia) and it was a way to have an independent viewing format regardless of what software application created it. I truly believe that Acrobat for what it's initial intent was that it should incorporate some of these features as it only makes sense in an evolutionary sense. Not to be a 'drawing package' but in it's markup/comments palette to expand on them.
So keep your comments to 'no at this time acrobat does not allow this type of functionality but who knows in the future' and don't treat me as though I don't know anything about anything. In my decades of using these applications I have seen them evolve to include more functions and do more then when the product was originally released.
I will now go on and recommend that they seriously look at Bluebeam Revu as it is not only cheaper but it has a ton more functionality specifically designed for the needs as listed above working with PDF's (and bitmap images to boot). I was just wanting to cover all bases and give all programs a fair look.
Thanks again for your intuitive insight.

Drawing Markups

Hi.
I just downloaded Adobe Reader 10.3.1 and I just can't find the drawing markups tools under comments. When I open a page straight from the internet, it shows, but with any of my PDFs, it doesn't. I've tried all the menu options and have spent the last 2h reading FAQ, but just can't seem to figure out what to do to see these. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Kind regards

No, the replies you have received are correct. Only files specially prepared by someone with Acrobat Pro can be marked up in Reader. I think there is a good chance you have Acrobat at the office; it does look a lot like Reader until you look closely.

Drawing Markups Without Pop-up Note

How can I use drawing markup tools in Acrobat Professional without having a pop-up note. I don't meant that I just want the pop-up note to stay closed unless I open it intentionally, I don't want a pop-up note at all, just the markups.
Thanks

You can hide annotations, but you don't have direct access to this property in Reader. You can use the Filter options in the Comments List to do it, but I don't think it will "stick", ie the next time you open the file they'll be visible once more.
With Acrobat you can embed a script in the file that will automatically hide some annotations when the file is opened.

Acrobat drawing markups - how to bring them in Illustrator

Hi,
On a document, there are drawing markups.
I would like to bring them in Illustrator.
I opened the PDF document with the markups in Illustrator, but markups were gone.
I tried to copy the markups from PDF and paste them in Illustrator but it does not work.
Is there a way, apart from Snapshot, to bring markups in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The markups are not drawing objects but annots/annotations. They are a different type of object that Illustrator does not support natively. Try this process. In Acrobat, go to Tools>Print Production>Preflight>PDF Fixups> Flatten annotations and form fields
Click Analyze and fix
Save as a new name
Open that PDF file in Illustrator.
