Comments, Captions, Notes & Descriptions

I am confused regarding how to best utilize the several descriptive capabilites that exist for images.
My primary interest is creating a historical collection of family photos and a facile ability for family members to see and interact with these images/history. Increasingly, we are realizing that it is the narratives, stories and other bits of information that make the collection compelling for the many dozens (hundreds) of intended users. These bits of information are currently contained in the tags, captions,comments we have been using. In 50 - 75 % of the cases... tags would be suffieient if they would only show!
In general... there appears to be minnimal ways of making this information viewable..either online or in printed format... at least I have not found the means. I need a thorough understanding of options for showing comments (from photoshop.com), notes and captions.... and for that matter tags.
Family members have been using comments to dialogue about images... identifying who, where, when but also frequently giving stories and narratives that are as valuable as the pictures. Is there any way to get these comments into the pictures meta data... into notes .. or even into captions(not preferred because of length). I believe that comments are attached to images (because I see comments show up in multiple albums). As we near completion of the research/tagging phase of our family project... I want to delete the current working albums (which are not useful for viewing) but I desperately need to keep comments.. In general.. I don't really know how comments work in relationship to catalog in PSE 9... and whether there is any way for comments to be viewed/included in PSE itself.
Your insights, experience and advice will be sincerely appreciated,
GeneMark

Hello All... I have just caught up on all your responses... I truly appreciate both your efforts and your insights.
It occurs to me after ready your insights to provide a bit of explanation of my "use case"... in light of your various responses.
The photos and slides that were scanned are not tightly contained to a specific topic and the originals come from many different containers/boxes/etc... from different physical locations. I have used folder and file names as a means of tracing back to the originals... many of which have writing on them which is often quite valuable.
I am completely relying on tags as the means for organizing the image collection for viewing. I have enlisted the assistance of cousins.siblings, nephews,nieces,etc to help identify the who,where,when of the images. We are located across the country (and in my case at the moment in Europe). So utilizing photoshop.com was /is a necessary and good solution.
So I have the entire PSE catalog synched with/between photoshop.com.
I am comfortable with a few of my family co-conspirators entering tags directly but for the most part I am sending albums to be viewed and commented on. The tag hiearchy is critical to having the dynamic capability desired when the process is completed and doing the tagging correctly is the single most important part of the project! One of my greatest disappointments is that tags are not visible in any form when I send out these albums for review. The process I am using is iterative... I and a few others do enough tagging to be able to create "review Albums" that we send from PSE as photoshop.com albums for review & comment to those who know the family/event/or whatever. Fortunately, captions can be viewable in a couple of the album options. I have family members enter comments as they clarify the who/when/where/event information... frequently two or three individuals reviewing/commenting on the same image which turns out to be very valuable. As many of thes images go back to 1910's, 1920's... some even 1900's.. we are in fact recording family history/stories... that are going far beyond just identification of the picture. Then, I go thru , read the comments and do the tagging and enter captions... usually in photoshop.com because the comments are only visible there. The trade-off I am constantly faced with is to keep captions short enough to be useful vs not loosing the important information contained in the comments.
Ideally... I would like to write the comments to the images metadata.. but I do not believe this is possible. next... I would prefer in many cases to record the comments in Notes... but I do not believe I can update notes from photoshop.com.
I could update notes from PSE... but comments are not visible.
Could someone please confirm for me that as long as I am synching the entire catalog I am not in danger of loosing comments... even if I delete the album that someone was reviewing when they entered the comment in PS.com. I am assuming that comments are pointed to the specific file name and will show when ever that filename is included in an album.
Sooo, your comments were all helpful and certainly were in the area of my confusion/need.
1. Is there any possible way to make tags viewable when albums are viewed?
2. Any strategy for converting comments to notes so I can store as metadata... ideally an automated process.
3. or any strategy for making comments viewable from within PSE.
Thanks all
GeneMark
If I put all the comments in captions from within photoshop.com.... they will be unusable for many viewing scenarios.
If tags were visible... it would save about 75% of the work... as we are already identifying the who,where,when,what as tags... but as they are not visible... everything is duplicated usually twice... once as comments and again as captions.
I hope this explanation clarifies my delima.

Captions Not Showing in List View Though They are There

Ever since I've been using Aperture I've had issues with Captions not showing in List View. The caption is there and shows in the Info Panel but does not show in the List View. I close Aperture, reopen, and it appears in List View. Frustrating when trying to caption thousands of images. You think the image has no caption and when you add a caption it doubles up on what is already there, but could not been seen, and a mess is born. Any one else have this issue? I see it in every Library I create whether on my field laptop or my main desktop Library. Screen shot attached of caption showing in Info pane but not in list view.

Happens all the time. The problem has been there for as long as I can remember, and shows itself in Keywords as well as Captions, maybe others. And yes, it is a major annoyance, and it is a bug IMO. You've found the same workaround I have, namely to restart Aperture.
If you haven't already done so, submit a bug report using Aperture Feedback to add your voice to the list.

Printing Comments (Sticky Notes) in Adobe Reader 9

Hi,
I know this question has been asked several times before, but I haven't seen any resolution to this problem. Does anyone know if Adobe is working on a patch/ fix for this problem?
In any case, my question is this: how do I print comments (sticky notes) using Adobe Reader 9. The following are the responses I have already tried and that have not worked:
1. Select "Document and Markups" in the print menu. I have already tried this. It makes no difference. The document still prints without the comments.
2. Go to Edit > Preferences and choose the "Commenting" tab. There is no "Commenting" tab in Reader 9. You are probably thinking of Acrobat 9.
3. Edit the registry key. Too risky, and since we are working on the client's machine, this is not really an option.
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

Alas,
"Commenting" is not an available category in Adobe Reader's Preferences.

Reviewer comments do not appear on my copy or download

Hello,
I invited a client to review a .pdf file shared for review on workspace.acrobat.com, they opened the file via the inviation email, made 8 comments and published them successfully.
However, they do not show up on the copy it created locally on my machine, or when I download and open the file from workspaces.acrobat.com
My co-worker that is also an admin in our workspaces.acrobat.com account can download the file from workspaces and all of the comments show up.
We both are using the latest and up-to-date version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
I have discovered a work around - I can open my local copy or the download from workspaces in Adobe Reader on my machine and all the comments show up.
Any ideas as to why the comments do not show up for me in Acrobat XI Pro?
Thank you for your time,
Khara

Is it possible to make comments or notes on a read only pdf document?

With Preview you can use the annotations feature. There's a free application, Skim, that is designed for annotating and making notes on PDFs.

From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.

Why do my captions not appear in my image project?

Thanks in advance for your help.
OK so you are currently in Full Photo Edit and making a New Document
1 -- where in Elements did you type the caption on the photo?
For example
-- were you in the Organizer workspace when you typed in the captions ?
-- or were you in the Full Photo Edit using the PSE Text Tool when you typed in the caption ?
Note: My guess is that you entered the captions using the Organizer. That means that the caption will be in a metadata field within the photo file but you would not see the caption when manipulating a photo in the Editor.
2 -- Do you plan to print this 8 x 11 on your home printer ?
-- Knowing what you plan to do with the 8 x 11 will probably help to suggest alternatives that might give you the caption more directly.
-- Of course you could use the Editor Text Tool to paste each caption on to its image if nothing more automatic fits your needs for your custom layout.

Property or collection #comment was not found in the component interface

Hi All,
I am a Java developer trying to connect my java application to a peoplesoft webservice.
I have been able to connect to the PS webservice and access "GET","FIND" methods successfully.
But when i am trying to connect to the CREATE(insert) method, i get the following message text.

I dont have any access to peoplesoft or db logs, i started using SOAP UI to get the detail messages.
Can anyone tell me what this message could be??
Basically its an insert method which takes around 40 parameters out of which 2 are mandatory.
The input that i send from my soap ui looks as follows

This will be very hard to troubleshoot without access to PeopleSoft.
Ideally, the best way to test it would be replicate the steps you are performing in your code through the component interface/web service, and then on the actual PeopleSoft component to see if you get the same error.
The second case where you haven't put in the parameters, make sure you clear out the ? marks and leave the value empty if you don't need to specify it.
E.g.
Instead of <kcm:QUICK_CD>?</kcm:QUICK_CD>
Use: <kcm:QUICK_CD></kcm:QUICK_CD>
I generally work backwards from soapUI -- look at the soapUI error, then test through the component interface tester in PeopleSoft application designer, then if required test in PeopleSoft.

Why isn't it possible to make comments and notes in protected PDF's?

Many of the PDF's we use in the lectures in my school are protected with a password, and therefore I can't make comments and notes in the files when I've downloaded them, unlike in Acrobat Reader for PC. This is very inconvenient. Can't this easily be fixed?

All permanent print options are set from the Printer Control Panel without being in the printer setup from within the application.

Captivate 6--closed captioning not advancing

I have been converting files from Captivate 5.5 to Captivate 6 and assumed the closed captioning was advancing. I had no difficulty in 5.5 with the closed captioning advancing. In the converted files, the first closed caption appears and remains despite the voice advancing. I have had no difficulty in the past with closed captioning. I have ensured the appropriate boxes are checked for closed captioning and that the markers are placed where the closed captioning should change. I am not using any click boxes or anything exotic. I just import pptx files, use text to voice conversion, and then move the markers to where the closed captioning should advance to match the change in voices (I use a different voice for each caption). Some screen shots are:
I am having to convert my files in Captivate 6 since the pdf's are no longer readable with the updates to Adobe Reader. However, now my students can no longer view the closed captioning unless I save as just one caption per slide. SInce I have a distance undergraduate course currently underway and another starting this Fall, I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can offer. Thanks.

Gotcha -- basically the old non-technical method.
ATTENTION:
I am BRIGADIER GENERAL JOHN CASTRO, the Chief of General Staff,
GHANA. I am mailing you in respect, of the present development going on
here in my country GHANA.
I decided to contact you, after much investigation which was carried out
by the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) and the Ghana Police
Service, to make sure our country is free of these fraudulent activities,
which is going on here in Africa and for our country to bear a good name.
The Airport Authority detected that trunk boxes after been scanned the
authorities detected that the boxes contains funds on your name and email
that has been tempered on, were been smuggled into the country by foreign
Personnel who were on transit from London.
These men were trying to enter the country with the trunk boxes, when the
airport authority detected that these boxes contains, some huge amount of
United State Dollars. After much investigation we found out that these men
were among those men, spoiling the good name of Africa.
They opened up to us that, they actually work with a Lotto company before
their dismissal and used the opportunity to perpetuate their crimes, they
told us that the funds inside the boxes was won by you, but now they
planned to turn back on you and decided to take the money all to
themselves out of the country. We later found out on the investigation
that was carried that, these men are truly members of a well established
organization to act on their criminal activities.
As I write you this mail now, the three(3) men that were caught are now in
the custody of the Ghana Police Service over here in our country Ghana,
while we are trying to track the others left, because they have proved
to us that they belong to one organization.
That is why we have to reach you by your mail address and name that was
tagged the boxes, so we can give to the diplomat to deliver to you hand in
hand.
Your response will be very much appreciated as soon as you have received
this email.as the diplomat is already to take his flight to your country.
Thank you for your kind attention, for us to make sure our beloved country
Ghana, bears a good name.
Please in your reply include your
A: FULL NAMES:
B: ADDRESS:
C: DIRECT CONTACT PHONE NUMBER:
So you are only to contact us now with the below a scan copy of your
identification so that it will be forwarded to the diplomat to know you as
soon as he arrive.Please in your reply include your
D: SCANNED COPY OF YOUR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT OR ANY RELEVANT
IDENTIFICATION PASSPORT.
As this information will be required, by the authorities in Ghana to
draft the new change of ownership in your name as the rightful owner of the
funds in our custody and also to verify the information given to us
because the documentations covering the boxes have been tampered on.
Regards,
Brigadier General (John Castro)

Smart folder search with "comments" does not work

I am using Lion (OS 10.7.5), and am unable to define a Smart Folder in which the search criteria is a particular Comment in "Get Info". Nothing appears in the folder. In System Preferences, Spotlight lists under "Search Results" 15 different categories, but "Comments" is not one of them.

Hi,
I haven't tried this, but the auth part is mainly added to support credentials for OpenSearch result sources. It might work for SP as well, but you have to make sure you have enabled basic auth on the web app. Have you done that?
Thanks,

Missing comments and notes fields for view columns

Hello,
I am missing the comments and notes fields for view columns in the relational model of DM. For the table columns these fields are present, so it would be nice to make this available for views too. The Designer import should be adapted too to import those fields.
Joop

Hi Joop,
My question is about the import of Designer for those fields. This is still not solved, even not in rel 4.0
In fact even DM 3.3 imports comments, notes and comments in RDBMS from Designer repository. Though comments and notes are not accessible through UI they are there and you can include them in custom report.
Comments and notes are accessible through UI in DM 4.0

Comments or Notes for HDV?

Hello.
I use an HV20 and shoot in HDV 24p mode. Can I log my clips, or add any metadata to them as comments or notes?
Some things I'd like to add include random notes about the location, distances, surroundings, names of contact persons, and things like that.

How come my FCX will not recognize 'my' HV30? Its brand new, new firewire, new FCX..I have read all the manuals and have tried everything that the books say...am I stupid?
IS THERE HOPE?
Thank you!
