Commenting/annotation a 3d file in as an email form

Hi,
Please forgive my ignorance as I have absolutely no experience with Acrobat 3d, it may well be a basic feature that comes out the box etc or it may be I am barking up the wrong tree and someone in here has a better approach.
I have walked into a project that involves the creation and client review of a massive number of 3d assets. I want to be able to create 3d PDFs for each 3d asset that allows our end client to add commenting and mark-up for the revision process that is submitted via email as form type data. Firstly is this possible, and secondly how might this be achieved or can someone suggest a better/alternative approach to this?
Many thanks in advance
Jon

Hi Steve,
We are using both 3ds Max and Maya as our primary content tools, having said that file format in itself doesn't overly concern me as we have a loads of experience in file format conversion/preparation, i.e. I'm confident we can get it working in Acrobat 3d without too many problems. I guess it's more about the capabilities of Acrobat 3d to do this particular design review tasks and the method that it uses, as I said Im completely new to 3d PDF, so forgive the ignorance but Ive been tasked with streamlining our review process.
We have a relational database of assets to which an item is added as per client request this system would track the process from initial asset request through to review and finally to signoff.
I would like to be able use the add commenting and mark-up functionality in 3d PDF to for this review process.
Let me explain the way I would like it to work.
1. We create a 3d PDF file of the asset
2. Provide it to a client on a secure website
3. Client adds markup and comments and submits it via email like a common PDF form component
4. We add the markup and comments to our pdf and asset database.
5. Client signs off and review process is closed.
Is this an out the box type functionality? If not is there much involved in making this work?
Once again thanks for your assistance
Jon

Trying to make a php file work with my email form

Hello,
Going slightly mad trying to link my php file with my html and actually getting it to work.
It (the php file) keeps coming up with a syntax error on line 37 - code hinting may not work etc etc but there is no error from what I can see - can anyone else point out the obviously to me? This is driving me around the bend!
my code:
<?php
/*Subject and Email Variables */
    $emailSubject = 'Website Form';
    $webMaster = '[email protected]';
/* Gathering Data Variables */
    $nameField = $_POST['name'];
    $addressField = $_POST['address'];
    $telephone1Field = $_POST['telephone1'];
    $telephone2Field = $_POST['telephone2'];
    $emailField = $_POST['email'];
    $name2Field = $_POST['name2'];
    $ageField = $_POST['age'];
    $dobField = $_POST['dob'];
    $commsField = $_POST['comms'];
    $messageField = $_POST['message'];
    $body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name: $name <br>
Address: $address <br>
Telephone (daytime): $telephone1 <br>
Telephone (mobile): $telephone2 <br>
Email: $email <br>
Childs Name: $name2 <br>
Start Age: $age <br>
Childs Date of Birth: $dob <br>
Preferred form of communication: $comms <br>
Message: $message <br>
EOD;
    $headers = "From: $email\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
    $success = mail{$webMaster, $emailSubject,$body, $headers};
/* Results rendered as HTML */
    $theResults = <<<EOD
<html>
<head>
<title>Xxx</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<div>
<div align="left">Thank you for your message, Your email will be answered very soon!</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EOD;
echo "$theResults";
?>

Line 37 is this:
    $success = mail{$webMaster, $emailSubject,$body, $headers};
It should be this:
    $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
Also the header for the From: is this:$headers = "From: $email\r\n"; but I don't see the variable defined for $email
Also you should know about email injection. Someone could inject your headers and add additional BCC: addresses to send emails to many undisclosed recipients through your mail script. You'd be using your script to turn your server into a host for spam! Sanitize your fields to prevent injection attacks! Security should be the firt priority followed by functionality. If it's unsecure it shouldn't function

Cannot Enable Commenting/Annotations Tools

I want to enable the use of Commenting/Annotations tools in Reader by setting up a shared review via Acrobat 10 Standard. From what I've read it seems that I should be able to do this by simply using the Shared Review wizard, however the PDF it generates only has the Sticky and Highlighter tools available in Reader.
I've read many different discussions on this issue, which tend to say things like "well you have to enable commenting through Acrobat"... and I get that, but my quesiton is how to do so. I've also seen step by step instructions such as "go to 'File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting and Mesuring'..." which I've attempted but I only have 'F > SA > REPDF > Enable Forms Fill-In & Save in Reader' as an option.
Perhaps this has something to do with Acrobat 10 Standard (i.e. not Pro)?
So please contribute an answer if you know the solution to my problem
Thank You!

In Adobe v.7.1.0, Standard Version, the Comments menu does not have the
"Enable for Commenting" option.
Please see attached.
Is it only in Adobe Acrobat, v.8.0, that the Enable for Commenting
option exists to allow your reviewers who only have Reader to add
comments to the PDF document that you distribute?
Best regards,
Susan Steen

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.

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files?

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files? I know I can use Option+Comman+i to bring up the Inspector window but it doesn't have a Comments field. For example, in iTunes you can select multiple files and change metadata for any field simultaneously and easily yet when it comes to the Comments field in the Finder, this seems to be missing.
In our production environment, Comments field is important because we place notes about what drive the file originated then when it gets transferred to LTO-6 tape via LTFS, we can quickly trace it in the event we needed to recreate the hard drive. Because tape archiving is linear, we can't store all of the files on the same tape.
We've tried using Apple's Automator but it too seems to not have a way to batch change text in the Comments field. Any help is appreciated.

What is "order data"?

Why do comments in comments list disappear when file is saved after a signature is added?

When working with a workpaper file we are using sticky notes, highlight, adding text to annotate a file. Then later we go back and add "place initials" by things that we verify either have been done or the workpapers support that statement. Upon saving the file before adding the initials the file name is XXXX.pdf and the 110 comments I've made in the file are listed in the comments list. Then when I add my initals the file name changes to XXXX-signed.pdf and the 110 comments I've made are still present, but not viewable in the comments list nor when I click on the sticky note is the information in the note viewable. Why would this information disappear? How do I get it back?
If there is no fix for this Adobe...this is a great reason for my bosses to decide not to spend the thousands of dollars it's going to cost us to buy and implement your software throughout our firm. We need to retain the comments on a workpaper file as well as be able to inital and sign our workpapers. Many people work in a single workflle and putting our intials next to an item tells the reviewer that not only did we see the comment from the client, but we also double checked to make sure the inforamtion was input into the system and included in the workpapers farther back in the file.
Any help from the user community would be apreciated.

I would prefer that this is resolved via a bug fix, because it certainly appears to be a bug.

How to copy a files name and spotlight comments to a text file for an entire folder

I have movie covers saved as a jpeg for every movie my family and I own. There is about 700 and they each have a comment of the main actors, release dates, and descriptions. This makes it easy to find what to watch. I want my parents to have all of this info but they have a windows laptop so the comments don't transfer with the file and can't be searched like you can on a mac. Is there an applescript, automator, program I can download, or program code supported in xcode that will do at least one of the following things?
1)Take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it into a text document like word that looks like this...
File Name1- Spotlight Comment for file 1
File Name 2- Spotlight Comment for file 2
. for all 700 files in a folder
2) It would be equally helpful if there was something that would take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
In a Pictures folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.jpeg       Comment: (2008) Genre: Action...             <- copy comment
In a Movie Folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v       Comment:                                               <- paste
and do this for all 700 files
3) Is there a free photo program that works on mac and windows that I can put all my movie pictures in and have a description like I did with the comments? It would also need a place that to search the description for keywords. So Basically an itunes for pictures that works on both mac and windows. If so I still need a way to get the spotlight comments to the description.
4) I feel like this would make things more difficult, but if not I can put all of the .m4v files in itunes so instead of pasting all the comments back into a file in finder paste them in a description in itunes
5) At the very least a code that I can run one by one for every file that will paste the comments into the same document
Note: When I say spotlight comments I mean the comment box that is available when you click on get info of a file. The pictures are in the pictures section of finder in a folder called Movie Pictures. The movie files are on an external hard-drive in a file called Movies. Also I am slightly familiar with applescript and automater in that I have used both to create keyboard shortcuts and simple voice commands. I have programmed in c++ and C too. So If you give me a code for applescript I do know what to do with it.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read all of this and extra thanks to anyone who tries to help.

This Bash script will do it.
Edit "PicDir" and "MovDir" to the location of your Folders
(Note: The comment is written to the m4v file using xattr, so the Spotlight comment field appears blank in Finder, but the comment metadata is still indexed by Spotlight (If you add a Spotlight comment from Finder, it is stored both as an extended attribute and in a .DS_Store file)
#!/bin/bash
PicDir=$HOME/Desktop/Pictures
MovDir=$HOME/Desktop/Movies
for f in $PicDir/*
do
     if [ ! -d "$f" -a "${f##*.}" == "jpeg" ]; then
          comment=$(mdls -raw -name kMDItemFinderComment "$f")
          if [[ $comment != "(null)" ]]; then
               picname=${f##*/}
               movname=${picname%.*}.m4v
               if [ -e "$MovDir"/$movname ]; then
                     xattr -w com.apple.metadata:kMDItemFinderComment "\"$comment\"" "$MovDir"/$movname
               fi
          fi
     fi
done

Is there a way to put comments in an .icd file?

I think I know the answer to this, but is it possible to put comments into an .icd file? I create many ICD files for Camera Link cameras (using both the NI Camera File Generator and by editing the text) and it would be very helpful if I could place comments in the file itself.
Thanks, Bruce

Thanks for taking the time to think about this issue.
I tried your suggestion and now when trying to load the file in MAX it gives an IMAQ Error, "Error 0xBFF60108 The camera file does not support the current interface type." I've tried many different forms of comments and none seem to work (; \\ -- %). I am only way I am successfully able to use comments is if I put them at the very end of the file, after the last "{".
Thanks anyway!
Bruce

Count the number of comments in a PDF file automatically?

Hello O Experts,
My documentation team members use Acrobat and Reader 8, and frequently need to count the number of comments in a PDF file. Is it possible to count the number of comments automatically? We can't find this functionality anywhere, and have to resort to manual counting. Since our PDFs can contain thousands of comments, this is very time-consuming. I've tried searching the Web and these forums, but the words "count" and "comments" are too frequent in other contexts to find anything useful...
Thanks and best regards,
--M.T.

Hi again sypark,
That is a great idea, and it works!
I would actually search on a more unique phrase - for instance, "Subject:" - that definitively occurs a single time per comment. The reason is:
There are many types of comments, not just sticky notes... you have highlights, text deletions, text insertions, replacement text, attachments, callouts, and so on. But each of them has a "Subject:" in the summary.
It's best to avoid searching for the comment names because they differ by language (an important issue when you work with colleagues in multiple countries). For example, the name of the "Highlight" comment type in French is "Texte surligné" - so you'd have to search for the latter term to get an accurate count.
In any case, your method is flexible and allows for easy customization of comment counts. Many thanks for your effective help!
Cheers,
--Michael

Commenting a Template Project File, but how?

This would be really handy (from the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, p. 154):
Tip: You can add a descriptive text to your templates by adding a comment to the
project file in the Finder. The Templates dialog displays the icon assigned to a template file, making it easy for you to change a template’s icon. For more information on how to add a comment to a file, or change the icon of a file, see the Finder Help.
Well, I added some Spotlight Comment in the File Info Window of some of my template files, but they do not show up in Logic. A new icon does, however.
Sometimes I just overlook something really easy on my Mac (after all these years...). But what is it this time?
Anyone any idea? Feature only working on Leopard?
Thanks,
Marius

I too tried this some time ago. I made several attempts before giving up. Perhaps I gave up too soon but the method seemed very straight forward in the manual. So I too would be interested in hearing from anyone who managed to do this sucessfully.

Are tags and comments assigned to a file on a MAC visible on a PC?

Are tags and comments assigned to a file on a MAC visible on a PC?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to be much more specific about what type of files and tags and comments you are referring to. There are thousands to choose from and our mind reading abilities are not working today.
