Commenting on Shared PDF

Is it possible for people to comment on a shared PDF the way they can on a shared InDesign file? I've uploaded PDFs to my workspaces but I don't see any way to comment on them.
I saw a message somewhere on the Adobe support forum that said that people cannot edit PDFs online. I don't want to edit the PDF online; I just want them to be able to add notes to the PDF proxy that they see on Acrobat.com.
I have a PDF that a client sent me. I tried placing it into an Indesign CS5 file and posting that, but I couldn't add the file to a review. Why not?

At this time the Adobe Reader and Acrobat software is the intended and designed software for commenting on PDF files as part of the review process.
That merely makes Acobat.com a nice front end for viewing PDF files, not actually doing any collaborating with them. You should have called it buzzword.com instead.

Commenting on Shared PDF not available

Using Adobe Reader 9.3.... I'm trying to beta test this document which I download and can make and mark comments on.. however I can't upload them or post comments anywhere like they are telling me to.. The original author does have it activated on the document to use reader as i believe other people are using it..
I can't see anything in my reader to turn on this functionality.. Create Adobe PDF using Acrobat.com is grayed out for me as well..
Please can someone assist me on where to activate these features!!!
I do not have access to Adobe Standard or Pro 9

Interesting
The orignal document was created in Actrobat Pro..
I can see it when I open Acrobat 8.1 pro but This just crashes on me.. and I was told I needed at least reader, standard or Pro 9...

Can't "comment" on shared pdf that I downloaded from Blackboard?

We're supposed to highlight and insert text boxes on a pdf from Blackboard, and I can't even click on the buttons for those. They're faded. Please help soon!

If the document has not been Reader-enabled to allow commenting, then you normally won't be able to add comments. Reader 10 allows you to add sticky note and text highlight comments if the document doesn't have security settings that would restrict commenting. Previous versions of Reader required that the document be Reader-enabled, which is a process done using Acrobat or server-based software from Adobe.

I need to host a Shared PDF on SharePoint. If it is on SharePoint can only one person comment at a time? I know documents have to be checked out when using SharePoint. I need multiple users to be able to comment in real time and see comments in real time.

How to restore shared review comment back to PDF?

Shared review backups the comment in XML files. If I lose the comments, how can I restore the comments back to PDF?
I try both import comment and import form data using the XML file, but nothing shows up. It seems only FDF or XFDF file works. Do I need to convert the XML file into FDF or XFDF? If yes, how?
Thanks for the hep.

Acrobat doesn't import the XML file directly that is used in the Shared Review process. Attempting to build the importable files is not pretty either way. I wouldn't recommend doing this but you can do it by hand using the XML file data into the correct file syntax for proper import but you need to be familiar with the FDF or XFDF file format. Otherwise if you are familiar with XSLT and doing transformations you should be able to do it that way too with an custom application.

How do I change default settings in the author field when I edit or insert a comment in a PDF?

How do I change default settings in the author field when I edit or insert a comment in a PDF?

Generally it gets this info from the Identity in the preferences. Unfortunately, I know of no way to change the Login Name that shows up in the comments. I need to look at newer versions of Acrobat on other machines, this is AA8.

How do I make comments on a pdf document that was sent to me?

I have windows XP and Reader 7.0. Is there a way to enable "edit" so that I can make "comments" on a pdf. document that was sent to me? withought spending $$$ for pro?

Thanks Sabian. It took me a while to figure out that "close Acrobat Reader 7.0" actually meant "delete it". After loading 10.1.2 I followed the instructions to send my pdf file and Internet Explorer decided to "quit" right in the middle of the process. ?? I'll try to use Chrome to see if that helps.

Cannot import a set of comments in the PDF to a Word document

I'm desperately trying to import a set of comments in a PDF to a Word document and cannot do so in Acrobat9. Time is of the essence. I keep getting the following message:
When PDF was created, the content and it was not tagged. exporting comments into a Word document will only work if the PDF is a tagged PDF.
To create a tagged PDF, you must select "change conversion settings" from the Adobe PDF menu, and check the box labeled "enable accessibility and reflow with tagged PDF."
I had no idea where to look to make this change--where is the Adobe PDF menu??? I tried doing research in the Adobe help information, and it directs me to go to: advanced > Accessibility > Add tags document. However when I click these menu items, the menu item "add tags to document" is gray and cannot be selected.
So now I've got a 1200-page draft filled with comments and I can't get them to the owner. I'd appreciate anybody's help. I never had a problem importing comments in previous releases of Adobe Acrobat.

Just to add a bit more information:
We use a tool called the Arbortext Editor to write our source and use the transform tool to automatically create a PDF of the source.

If I copy and paste a comment in a pdf, when I create an xfdf file the copied comment isn't included. Is there a way to add these copied comments to the xfdf file?

Hi Steve Whipple,
This Link (Acrobat Help | Importing and exporting comments ) seems relevant to your query. Please let me know if it helps you export comments to xfdf file.

How can I insert a comment into a PDF stream?

I am creating a PDF stream manually (long story, don't ask) and when
debugging the resulting PDF by looking at the raw PDF stream, it would
be really handy if I could tell which parts of the PDF stream came
from which parts of my code, so I was trying to find some way to
insert comments into the PDF stream.
I came up with this:
(my comment here) pop
which I thought would create a string object on the stack and then pop
it off, but this PDF code still confuses Adobe Reader.
Any suggestions on how I can insert stuff into the PDF stream that
doesn't affect Adobe Reader, but lets me distinguish different parts
of the PDF stream?
Thanks,
Chris

the best is to insert screenshot directly in keynote. If it's for a paper version save everything as pdf and compile with "combine pdf".

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

Error opening shared PDF

I share PDF files through a secure web application and sporadically encounter this error message when attempting to open/download the shared PDF:
I'm the owner of the original files and can open those with no problem. It's only when I save the file to the web application and then try to download the file from the web app that I encounter this error. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks Pat. Unfortunately, I don't have an opportunity to compare the files. Once the file has been uploaded to the web app and its available for download, I hit the error before I have a chance to do any comparison. Do you think the problems lies within the web app itself, for instance, how it uploads files?

Can I merge comments from 2 pdfs with Adobe Acrobat online?

Can I merge comments from 2 pdfs with Adobe Acrobat online? If so, how?

Hi gignc,
You can't merge comments using any of the Acrobat.com online services (ExportPDF, Adobe PDF Pack, and so on). But you can with an Acrobat subscription. Please see Adobe Acrobat X Standard * Publish comments from other reviewers from instructions.
Best,
Sara

Readers can't comment on my PDFs

I was recently upgraded from Acrobat 8.1 Standard to Acrobat 11.0 Stamdard. Most people here have Acrobat Reader 9.
I want to be able to send out PDFs for review and have them comment in the PDF. My security settings allow commenting. Howeve, when someone open the PDF in Reader 9, comment is disabled.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Keith

Reader 9 doesn't allow commenting unless you specifically enable the document for it. Acrobat doesn't need this, nor does Reader 11. Reader 10 allows limited types of commenting with non-enabled documents. You enable a document for commenting in Acrobat 11 by selecting:
File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting & Measuring
and this will work too:
File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
The latter will also allow filled-in forms to be saved.
