Brighten Sticky Notes in Acrobat X?

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I couldn't find it.
I have Acrobat 9 on my desktop, and Acrobat X on a shared server, and use sticky notes to help mark sections of documents. These sticky notes are color-coded.
Sticky notes in Acrobat 9 are bright, primary colors, and are easily distinguishable when viewing them in "comments": it is easy to differentiate light blue from dark blue, red from pink, green from yellow, etc.
However, the same sticky notes when viewed in the "comment" view in Acrobat X interface all have a pastel hue to them, and it is very difficult to distinguish colors: what appears to be green may actually be blue, what appears to be pink may actually be red, etc.
Question: is there a way to "brighten" the color tone of the sticky notes in Acrobat X? They appear as bright primary colors when SELECTING the color of the sticky note in "properties," but when viewing them in "comments," especially when there are several sticky notes in a single document, they all just kind of blend together and it's very difficult to tell one shade from another.
Is there some kind of "classic" view, or a way to turn off the "pastel" effect of the sticky notes when viewed in the "comments" view?
Thanks!

Sticky notes in Acrobat X default to off-the-page and extremely large

Hi!
I'm fighting an issue where sticky notes that I add to any PDF will always default to the far right (off of the screen) and they tend to be large (as in, the size of about 2 letter pages). Everytime I add a sticky note to a PDF I must zoom out such that I can see multiple pages on my screen in order to get to the corner of the sticky note and proceed to make it smaller. This is getting unbelievably tedious as I often review 100's of pages of PDF documents and make comments throughout. I've tried deleting all of my Acrobat folders in C:\Users\<me>\AppData but the problem persists. I did not have this issue in Acrobat 7.
I'm on Windows 7 Profession 64bit and am using Acrobat X Standard. I hope I do not need to reinstall acrobat as I will have to get IT invoved to do that.
Thanks for any help.

Sticky notes in Acrobat Reader x

Unable to activate stcky notes to be able to use in Acrobat Reader X...
What needs to be done to make this happen?

For Reader X, sticky notes and highlighter type of annotations are by default available and can be added on any pdf unless that pdf is secured (or has some special permissions due to which commenting has been disabled.). If you wish to enable all the types of annotations then you need to do the following. Open the pdf in Acrobat (any version). Click Save As->Reader Extended Pdf->Enable Commenting and Measuring.
Hope that helps.

Sticky notes problem, Acrobat reader

Hello, I was unable to find an answer to this question in old discussions therefore I have to ask it.
I am preparing pdf file with multiple comments for print. On some pages I have more than one comment and I can't have them all open at the same time. As soon as I try to open second comment first one opened closes. Are there some settings that I can adjust to have multiple pop-ups open at the same time? Is there any limitation to the number of comments opened?
On additional note, this problem seems to be inconsistent: at some pages I can open 4 comments at the same time and at some other ones can't even open 2.
Thank you in advance for help.

Use the Comments List. Click the undock choice on the Comments List.
Select a comment in the List and the annotation on the PDF page will be given a highlighting effect around its boundaries.
Be well...

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 Sticky Note Icons are huge and can not resize

My coworker is having a problem with the size of the Sticky Note (comments) Icon. It is huge and we can not resize.
When you open the icon, it takes up the whole page. We can change the Font size, but the actual icon will not resize.
The same document opened up from someone else, the icon views normal. We all have Adobe Acrobat Pro V9.4.6. Any suggestions on a fix?
Thank You.

JimJSC,
Your reply also helped fix a problem I had with not being able to resize sticky notes. My original display resolution meant that the resize symbols in the lower corners of the sticky note weren't accessible. In Acrobat X, the setting is under Acrobat, Preferences, Page Display, Resolution.

Question:In Adobe Acrobat XI Standard-sticky notes

Question: In Adobe Acrobat XI Standard-sticky notes created in the document pane are visible, but when i save the file and then reopen it they are listed in the navigation pane (model tree). Any thoughts ????
Any comments ?????
This did not happen in version 10.

Can you post to a URL with a snapshot image of what you're seeing? You can post the image on Acrobat.com for free and then share the URL here.

Acrobat 9.0 - how to I keep Sticky Note always maximize

Acrobat 9.0
How do I keep Sticky Note always maximized.
I got one sticky note maximized on open of file
but on another file, the sticky note minimized itself.
Anyone who can help to keep sticky note always maximized . Thank you.

You can only uninstall from an administrative account. Be aware you are not supposed to have Reader and Acrobat on the same machine. Uninstalling Acrobat 9 will break Reader which will need to be re-installed. For Vista compatability make sure you update to 8.1.3 or later.

Disappearing Sticky Note Comments in Acrobat 9 PDF Reviews

I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.3.2) and the reviewers are using Reader 9, and all of us are on Windows XP SP3. I'm distributing PDFs for online review using a SharePoint site (SharePoint Server 2007).
We've observed the following behaviour if you Show Comments List and enter comments for a sticky note using the comment field in this list:
If your cursor is still in the comment field when you publish, you'll get a message saying that a new comment was published, but the contents of the sticky note are missing from the other reviewers' views. They can accept the new comment and the metadata for the sticky note will appear, but the comment will be missing.
If you publish again, you'll get a message saying that a comment was updated, and then the other reviewers will see the contents of the sticky note.
If you enter comments in another sticky note (and leave the cursor in the comment field) before you publish for the 2nd time, you get a message saying 1 comment has been updated and 3 new comments have been added when you hit Publish. Why 3 new instead of 1?
If your cursor is in the comment field, and you haven't published yet, and you do any other activity (such as sorting, filtering, collapsing the discussion), then whatever you had typed in the comment field disappears.
This same behaviour has been observed for replies to sticky notes.
Comments do not go missing if you type in the sticky note pop-up, or reply in the pop-up.
The obvious workarounds are to enter sticky notes in the pop-ups instead of the Comments List, or click elsewhere on the List before doing anything else, or hit Publish twice. However, I don't think we should have to work around this. So, before I ask Adobe to fix this behaviour, has anyone else seen it? Or is there something about how to use the interface that I'm missing?

Acrobat X - Sticky notes and spellcheck

The spell checker for sticky notes and dialog boxes used in editing pdf documents in Acrobat Pro X is not working properly. When it auto corrects a misspelled word, it attaches the last letter of the word being relaced to the new word -- resulting in another misspelling. No fixes found for this. Does anyone have a workaround?

It's a known bug that will be fixed in a forthcoming update.

Sticky notes for user sometimes are huge amongst other errors acrobat 9.5.5... repair did not fix

The user writes:
Hi,
Lately my PDF has been having small issues when I use it in engagement. Work paper references come up either giant or tiny. If I want to leave a "sticky note" it comes up as giant and then if I try to click on it to write in it its super
zoomed in and I can't even see where I would write, sometimes work paper references want me to do this too. When I try to resize tick marks they will also sometimes zoom in as a comment section. Today it has been occasionally freezing on a page and not letting
me scroll at all unless I toggle between the fit to screen and show one page buttons- it's like that resets the scrolling. It never used to do this so I'm not sure why it is now.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Dan
Edit: I should add we tested and indeed it's with all pdfs not just ones coming through engagement.

This problem was solved; the above note is just an aid for users experiencing similar problems.

How do I keep the sticky notes from shifting their placement as soon as I select File, Print?

Working with Acrobat Pro 9 and Windows 2007, I frequently use sticky notes to approve multi-page invoices scanned by another location. On the screen they appear where I put them - but as soon as I click File, Print with the printer "Adobe PDF" and "documents and markups" selected, the ntoes all shift to a static location on each page that overlays the invoice detail. I've tried multiple settings and defaults to no
avail. Any help is much appreciated.

Either don't rename upon export, or use the (original filename or) image number in the renaming template:
(see 'File Naming' section of export dialog box)

How do I search for sticky notes in a PDF doc?

Several people (at work) have commented on a 440-page document that I created, using sticky notes to write their comments in. When I first open the document, the sticky notes are all closed. The icon for a closed sticky note is pretty small and not brightly colored, so they're easy to miss when scrolling through hundreds of image-heavy pages. I am hoping that it's possible to search for each occurrence of a sticky note.
If there is no way to search for the notes, is there a command I can use to open all the notes in the file (in one action) so that they are larger and easier to spot?
Platform: Windows 8 PC
Version: Acrobat 8
If this is not a feature available in Acrobat 8, is it possible to do this in later versions?
Apologies if this is not the right community for this question, but none of the ones listed seemed like the obvious choice, and there is no "miscellaneous" or "general" category. If there is a better community for the question, please let me know.
Thanks,
Joyce.

Out the gate you've a problem.
The Acrobat 8 product family passed into "End of Support" many years ago (well before the release of Windows 8).
"End of Support" means -- well, just that eh.
The Acrobat 8 product family is not compatible with Windows 8.1, 8 or 7.
The Acrobat XI product family is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1.
Regarding Comment and Mark Up Annotations:
With Acrobat 8 Pro use the "Comments List".
Same wit Acrobat 9 Pro, X Pro and XI Pro.
May be available with the various versions' "Standard" release.
The contents of a Comments List can be exported to a PDF report.
The filter an be used to display specific characteristics / attributes which then become the reports content when you output a report.
Having "8" the Help PDF file got loaded with the install of "8".
Use it to review the information provided on the Comments List.
Be well...
