Commenting Not allowed, even in docs I create  Reader 8.1.1

I cannot comment or bring up the comment menu in any document in Reader 8.1.
I do not know what happened. And this is true for at least 2 computers in my house. We have Acrobat 6 installed as a PDF Creator. But even in documents I create and have no security enabled, the Reader 8.1 tells me the document has "commenting" - "not allowed." I have tried everything I can think of, even un-installing reader and then installing a fresh copy, but the reader still does not allow me to make comments,
Any ideas?

Good morning all,
I believe the following information may be helpful, I came across this issue this morning and found that this works:
Once you have completed your file in Acrobat Professional you need to open the "Comments" tab menu and choose "Enable for commenting and analysis in Reader" option.
This will save your file again and once opened in Reader the commenting functions will be enabled.
Why this is so when all security options in the Professional File are show 'allowed' is beyond my comprehension.
Hope it helps.
Cheers.

  • Comments Not allowed?

    Hello freinds,
    I have installed Adobe LiveCycle designer 8.2 in my windows 7 machine, i opened a brand new pdf and entered contact details, then am trying to write comments, but, when i saw its peoperties, i noticed that COMMENTS: NOT ALLOWED under security tab!! Pls. let me know how i can enable and so that i can write comments.
    Thank you

    Hi Srinivas,
    Just to add my bit to the discussion, which is the same as what George and Chuck are saying.
    The issue is that the form is opening in the free Adobe Reader (even if opening in a browser, the Reader is still being used). As a result certain functionality is not available.
    For example, if the form is not Reader Enabled, then users with Reader will not be able to add comments to the form.
    Even if the form is Reader Enabled, if the form was originally saved as a Dynamic XML Form (in the LiveCycle Designer save-as dialog), then you will not be able to add comments.
    When working with forms that are created in LiveCycle Designer, you can only add comments where the form was originally saved as a Static PDF Form in the save-as dialog.
    Here is a summary. I suspect that your form is in Option 2, that is the form is not Reader Enabled and is opened in Reader.

    In addition there is a long discussion here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2686010#2686010

  • Commenting not allowed after emailing pdfs

    I am fairly new to acrobat.  I am trying to save illustrator files as pdfs in order for clients to comment with stickies on the file.  No matter what security settings I use after emailing the files my document settings change.... comments not allowed....???

    The option to allow commenting is checked and the document is saved replacing the first exported doc.
    I guess that part of your terminology is confusing. What do you mean by "checked".
    To be sure we're on the same page, by "checked" you mean after opening in Acrobat you went to Comments>Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader, correct?
    The reason I ask is because if you open it in Acrobat and go to File>Properties and see that commenting is "allowed", that still doesn't mean that it is enabled for Reader users.

  • After Effects - Multiprocessing not allowed even when a Proxy is used?

    Hi everybody!
              I have a composition (Comp1)  that uses an effect which doesn't allow multiprocessing (e.g., Lens Blur) -- this I understand.
              Comp1 is used inside of Comp2.  When I pre-render Comp1 and use that render as a proxy for Comp1 inside of Comp2, I still can't use multiprocessing.  This is the confusing bit.  I'd think since the Lens Blur effect isn't actually being rendered, it shouldn't give me any guff.
              Alas, it does.  Anyone else run into this?  Is there a workaround, or is it a bug/oversight by our friends at Adobe?
              Thanks in advance as always -- this forum is a great resource!

    Hi Dave,
    I appreciate your help, but I think I'm still missing something.  When I set a proxy movie for my Comp1, come render time, it should never look inside Comp1 at all — it should just use the proxy movie.  The LensBlur effect is not applied to Comp1 itself, it's used INSIDE Comp1.
    To what end would AE look inside the real Comp1 when it's been assigned a proxy movie?

    Subject: After Effects - Multiprocessing not allowed even when a Proxy is used?
    Typically, a proxy is a low-resolution substitute for the real image to make AE work a little faster, right?  When AE renders, it doesn't render the proxy, it uses the high-resolution real image, right?  The same thing is happening in your project.
    If it doesn't impact your work to use a lower-resolution substitute for your comp 1, I'd suggest not using the substitute as a proxy.
    If full resolution matters, make a full-resolution prerender.

  • I have an apple id and am trying to create an icloud however my phone is not allowing me. how can i create an icloud account?

    i have an apple id and am trying to create an icloud account however my phone is not allowing me and saying that the number of free attempts have been exceeded even though this is my first attempt. how can i create an icloud account?

    Are you sure the message isn't saying that the maximum number of accounts have already been created?  When you get this message you will not be able to create another account on that device.  Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

  • XML-comments not allowed in IDOC_AAE-Adapter?

    Hi,
    we have a File to IDOC scenario and are using the IDOC_AAE adapter for sending IDOCs to the SAP system.
    In our mapping we have added some comments into the XML-IDOC-structure.
    By sending the document to the SAP-system we are getting the following error:
    MP: exception caught with cause
    com.sap.aii.af.idoc.exception.IDOCAdapterException: Error before sending due to
    idoc parsing error: (7) IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: Invalid XML 1.0 character
    encountered within IDocXML for type <INVOIC01>:
    state=READING_FIELD_STARTTAG, charPosition=872, lineNumber=23, columnNumber=14,
    invalidChar=U+0021,
    sourceSnippet=...RCY>^~~~<KUNDEUINR>DEXXXXXXX</KUNDEUINR>^~~~<BSART>INVO</BSART>^~~~<!--
    ZIM_IDOC_RBU_HEAD_S -->^~~... ^
    The problem seems to be the <!-- - Tag in the structure.
    But the ! (U+0021) is a correct XML 1.0 character. I don't know why the IDOC-XML parser throws this exception.
    Does anybody have an idea what the problem is?
    When we remove the comments the IDOC could be sent successfully to the SAP system.
    Are only IDOC-specific characters allowed here, no comments and no other XML-specific characters and structures?
    This would be very strange.
    Thanks for your answer.

    Is that really how you're trying to read the online XML document? Because I don't see anything that makes a connection to the site. All you're doing is trying to parse the string "http://www.w3schools.com/Xml/note.xml" is if it were XML.
    ps, That "Content not allowed in prolog" error message is worse than useless IMO. They might as well say "It didn't work" for all the good does.

  • Aperture 2.1.2 crashing constantly, will not allow me to move library/ create vaults

    Hi, I've searched for threads on this, but nothing came up with my particular situation. First, I'll state my specs
    iMac 24" (aluminum)
    3.06GHz Core2 Duo
    4GB RAM
    500GB HDD
    So, after much procrastinating, I decided this weekend that I would organize my photos better, and move my growing Aperture library off my internal drive in hopes of speeding up my recently lagging computer. I migrated from iPhoto to Aperture back in August of 2008 and have always been meaning to make a vault of all my old work and just store that offsite somewhere so I don't have to worry about the disk space or losing the files. But I never got around to it.
    So now my Aperture library is 35,000 photos large, and weighs in at 302GB.
    The first thing I tried to do (before I even knew Aperture was going to start crashing) was to move the Aperture Library file from its default location in the users/pictures folder to one of my external 1.5TB drives. However, the transfer would fail around 6GB in and say "some files could not be read or written." I tried several times to no avail.
    Giving up that route, I read around online and decided that I could just make a vault of my entire library on the external drive, then create a new library there, and restore from the vault.
    So I open Aperture to try and make a vault. It "unexpectedly quits" right when the interface loads. I tried again and got as far as naming the new vault, then it crashed again. Now it crashes even if I am trying to just view my images. I went on a short roadtrip with friends and got back last night, and it crashed halfway through the import of 400 images, but finished importing when I reopened it. I don't know if that's what started off the whole thing.
    Anyway, I noticed that I only had 4(!)GB of space left on my internal drive, so I did some quick cleaning and rearranging to external drives and freed up about 45GB of space. I figured that would give the app plenty of room to breathe.
    Nope. Still crashes.
    Rebooted several times, no help.
    Reset PRAM several times, nada.
    I am in real trouble here. I'm a photography student with three studio classes this quarter and I can't have this happening. I paid top dollar for this machine less than six months ago and now it's puttering along like it's 2 or 3 years old. When Aperture is open (when it would still work) the rest of the computer would just slow to a crawl. I have 4GB of RAM, why doesn't Aperture use more? I was reading that it would only use 1 or 2GB max. Why?
    But that part is not important.
    I need to get this fixed, so ANY help is GREATLY appreciated! I have the crash report saved from the last crash, so if anyone wants to see any part of it, let me know. It told me which thread caused the crash but it looked like generic usage stuff, nothing special (I was just trying to look at my trip photos).
    Thanks in advance,

    This is awkward. Right... I have used Aperture since it came out.
    In fact, after all these failures, you should try the rebuilding your library first.
    Hold down Option and Command when launching Aperture, though you couldn't back up your files... which was recommended by Apple before you rebuild it.
    It should correct and repair any broken links or permissions. See if it works.
    After, you can simply COPY and not MOVE the library to the external HD. Do you use Firewire? It's much better and reliable. After the library is copied, point Aperture to use the external HD in preference. Close and reopen, it should open the library from the external HD.
    The better bet is to make sure you are using an external HD with Firewire 800. I have some experience with USB2 drives when Aperture crashes a lot. It may seem some kind of bandwidth problem which I couldn't understand. It seems find with small jpg files but if you start importing RAW or do something with the RAW files, USB drives always fail.
    I have moved my library to an external drive since Aperture 2 as my library has grown beyond the internal capacity. My standard practice is now, after working the files, export them in TIFF or JPG, export the 'Project' with the RAW files to DVDs, remove from the library and re-import the JPGs back to keep the library size. Also I keep two faults in separate locations.
    I hope it works.

  • Commenting Not Allowed

    I have converted several scanned checklists to form fillable PDF's using Designer. After converting them to form fillable I have inserted several check box objects so that our employees (who all have Adobe Standard) can fill out the check lists and save them and insert the filled out checklists into work binders. On occassion they need the ability to add comments to a section of the checklist and they all know how to use the commenting features. On most of the forms I created commenting is alllowed however on the last two that I created "Commenting Allowed" is marked as no in the security settings and I can't get this to change.
    The only thing that I can think of that I changed on these is that I might have selected "Preserve Appearance" instead of "Maintain Editablity" in step two of the New Form Assistant.
    Is there any way to enable the commenting on these files? One of them is 90 pages long and took a long time to add all the checkboxes to.
    Thanks

    Try to save it as a static form. Here's the email from our tech team:
    "If he did just have him save it as a static form. The issue becomes one of how do we know where to put the comments if the page/section doesnt exist."

  • In Acrobat X Pro, fields are not showing up when previewing or creating Reader-enabled PDF

    I have a form with many fields (217 in all). When I click "Preview" within Form Editing, I only see a small subset of the fields. If I save as a user-enabled form, that form only shows the same fields. Why aren't all of the fields showing up? Thanks!

    Never mind. I believe I figured it out. I thought that setting the form field to "Invisible" just affected whether the box would be visible to the end-user, not whether it would be fillable at all. Now that I set all of the fields as "Visible but doesn't print" all of the fields show up.
