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.

Search feature missing from Acrobat reader?

I loaded a PDF file out to my Touchpad but there does not appear to be any search feature in the Acrobat reader? Am I doing something wrong?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I agree and made the suggestion. Maybe if enough of us ask, the feature will be implemented.
Go to the Software Manager, click on Adobe Reader, click on "report a problem", click the drop down and choose "other".

Need advise on a problem one of my customer have with properties going missing in Acrobat Reader

Hi there.
I need some advise on a major problem I got with acrobat reader on one of my customer's laptop.
I might not have all the informations, but I can explain about everything that I could dig out of the problem.
One of my customer asked me to find a solution to his problem as he just bought a Mac laptop and he has only been using a Windows PC before. He needed a way to be able to manipulate some texts and picture on a file (template) that he print a couple of times each week. I have built a 2 pages PDF form for him and it was a success on every computer we tried it on, except for his new Mac Laptop.
Whenever we open the file on his laptop in acrobat reader, every single properties of any forms are not readed.
Those "missing" properties include :
- Everything in the "Text field property" which include size, choice of font (I specifically took a system font available on both PC and Mac and tested it on another Mac), alignment and apearances.
- All forms, checks and buttons are resetted to a "default" appearance.
The names and ID of the forms seems to be correct and forms with the same name seems to work. (if he fills in one part, it automaticly fills some parts on the 2nd pages instead of having him rewrite the whole stuff.)
The sizes of the forms are correct too. It seems to only affect the form properties, but not the manually inserted javascript.
I tried to open another form PDF I took from the Web (gouvernment forms) and it seems like the problem is not from my file as it happen with all PDF files with forms.
I checked his Acrobat Reader version and it seems like it's up to date, as well as his java software.
Since I couldn't do a full check-up and tried to reinstall Acrobat Reader and java as I only had about 20 minutes to check things, I'm asking around before taking that kind of option into account.
If any got any idea or have already experienced that kind of strange thing, please tell me where could the problem be.
Thanks!

The file is opened manually with Adobe Reader directly on the customer's computer harddrive. (Right click on the file directly stored on the desktop. "Open with ..." and then select "Adobe Reader". The program showed on the top bar is Acrobat Reader and it's hard to mix it up as it's totally different from the "Preview" program on the Mac.)
If I opened it with Preview (on the Mac), it was even LESS buggy. While some options are not accessible in Preview (mainly those who use javascripts or adobe reader/acrobat only features), the visual that aren't working in Adobe Reader were working fine. Since some basic options aren't available in Preview, my customer needs to use it in Adobe Reader.
I can garanty that the problem is related to Adobe Reader and/or maybe background process that Adobe Reader uses (for exemple : Java, C++, etc.)
I asked around to know if someone have already experienced this issue and if they have found a way to repair it without doing a full reinstall of every kind of process that Adobe Reader uses.
Also, if I'm doing a clean up for a restoration of Adobe Reader, is there any other program to reinstall then Adobe Reader and Java?

E65 - basic features missing

Just purchased an E65.
Beautiful thing but there are so many useful features missing that I am used to in my old Nokia phones.
1. Can't change font settings - there is only one fint and it is very small.
2. Can't set repeat alarm.
3. No smiley
4. Can't cancel start up tone
I can go on and on. I read that the software used for E65 is Simbian or something which is different from the one used for old Nokia phones, S60? The lack of basic but very useful features in the E65 has been very disaponting indeed
Didn't Nokia test the phone for these basic features?
What is Nokia's rationale for having these features removed?

I can confirm that all the points you make are common to all the latest N- and E-series phones - which all run Symbian 60 3rd Edition.
For the first problem, the only thing you can do is select a theme with high contrast .. or buy a magnifying glass.
For the second, there are a number of 3rd party solutions that provide the sort of alarm functionality you're after. They're all very expensive for what they are though: I was looking at one yesterday until I realised it was US$20! I mean, US$5, OK, but US$20? For a daily alarm? Fuggedaboudit ..
Don't know what you can do about the last two. I guess if you could find the Nokia start up sound file you could replace it with an empty file, but you'd need 3rd party tools and anyway, I doubt it can be done.

Basic features missing in E61 (and other Nokias) v...

I've been using Nokia Smartphone since quite a number of years now, and I'm still estonished about all the excitement that any release of a new models is generating, because basically : nothing is changing. OK, better integrated cameras. OK, integrated Wifi... But come on, let's be honnest, it's time for a revolution. I'm getting really tired of Symbian S60's interface...
Anyhow, I had lately a Nokia E61, and finally sold it away. Why ?
1) Mail application is not able to correctly format a HTML mail. And let's face it, we receive less and less "pure ascii text" messages. Time for an evolution. Some might say : go for Profimail on S60. OK, fine, but then how to I use BlackBerry Connect or Mail for Exchange ???
2) Basic calendar : after so many years, the calendar application also did not evolve. For a phone that claims to be a business phone (E61), the notion of meeting is still ignored by Nokia. And yes, I want and need to know when looking at my agenda who invited me for a meeting and who are the other invitees, and this is not possible with Nokia. And still on the agenda topic, whether using Blakberry connect or Mail for Exchange, it is not possible to receive meeting invitations and accept/decline them, nor is it possible to create new meetings and invite people. For this I need to go back to my PC = E61 will never be *my* business phone.
Come on, wake up Nokia : time for innovation !!!

this may help..

Digital signatures not working for LiveCycle forms in Acrobat Reader

Hello, when I create a Form in LiveCycle Designer with signature fields, I open the form in Acrobat XI and save the form with extended features (File-->Save As Other-->Extended Features-->Enable Tools), but then when I open the "extended features" form in Acrobat Reader, the signature fields do not work (click the field, but no signature prompt appears). I do not have this problem when extended features are enabled in Acrobat X. Why do they not work when they are enabled in Acrobat XI?

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

Full screen auto-hide feature does not work with Adobe Acrobat Reader add-on 11.0.0.379 in Firefox 17.01.

"Full screen" menu item and its keyboard short cut F11 stop working with Acrobat Reader. The Firefox top edge border does not hide once you have moved around in the Acrobat document. Therefore it is not possible to display PDF documents in a true full screen mode within Firefox. The auto-hide full screen mode works nicely with other Firefox windows, so apparently the Acrobat Reader add-on breaks the feature. Windows 7 64-bit.

From the JS API Reference of the print method:
Non-interactive printing can only be executed during batch, console, and menu
events.
Outside of batch, console, and menu events, the values of bUI and of interactive are ignored
and a print dialog box will always be presented.

How can users who have Acrobat Reader only save scanned pdf files so that the text on them is searchable using ctrl-F? I just use the recognize text with ocr feature in the full version of Acrobat and this seem to do the trick. Reader doesn't work!

Our users have scanned pdf files they want to be able to search using ctrl-f. I got them to be searchable by doing a recognize text using ocr with Acrobat Professional vesion 8. They want to know if they can make the files searchable with Acrobat Reader only or if they need the full Acrobat Professional software to make the files searchable.
Thanks for the help!!

To clarify a bit they need to have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. Reader has not been associated with the Acrobat name for 3 or more versions. The process you are asking about is a creation process - the purpose of Acrobat - and NOT a reading feature.

How can I activate the text reflow feature in Acrobat Reader For Ipad

I have used Acrobat Reader for reading ebooks for a long time. Now in my Ipad I cannot find a way to use the text reflow feature. Can any doy help me?

Sorry, no text reflow on an iPad. Most PDF files don't reflow. I read tons of PDFs on Macs and never reflow them.

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

I installed Acrobat XI pro on a Mac but it only shows the features of acrobat reader - how do I activate the pro features?

How do I get Acrobat XI pro on a Mac to work fully, and not just act like Acrobat Reader. i just paid and downloaded it, entered new serial number when requested, but when I open a .pdf I have no pro features showing (such as editing tools, convert to powerpoint, etc). I use XI pro on a windows PC and have no problem there.

Perfect answer. And I feel a bit dumb (should have worked it out, but still finding my way round the Mac). Many thansk for the help.

How to extend features in Acrobat Reader for Livecycle pdfs

Have a PDF I created wit
h Livecycle. I'm trying to extend features in Acrobat Reader so that the form will be fillable with acrobat reader but that option is not ena
bled? Anyone know where the magic button for this is?

I already done this three times and 'extend features in Acrobat REader' is still disabled.
I'm using Livecycle ES and Acrobat Pro 9. When I 'save as' in Livecycle my only option is 'Acrobat (static) PDF Form', and when I open the PDF document in acrobat pro I get a blue-bar that says i am viewing the document in PDF/A mode. Does any of that raise any "red flags"?

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
