Comments in a pdf file on Surface RT

The new adobe reader XI is great because it allows to insert directly comments on pdf files.
But I'm wonderind if I can be able to do so on the Surface RT tablet.
That's why i'm hesitating to buy the tablet.
Please tell me.
Can I insert comments directly in a pdf file on Surface RT as on my laptop ??

Adobe Reader XI is a Desktop app that supports viewing and editing of comments. It can only run on Intel-based processor PCs/laptops/tablets.
What it means to you:
* Microsoft Surface with Windows RT (currently available for purchase) or other ARM-based processor tablets
You will not be able to install and run Adobe Reader XI to view or edit comments. However, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer) to view and edit comments, instead. Compared to Adobe Reader XI, Microsoft Reader's commenting feature is somewhat primitive and limited.
* Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro (coming February 9, 2013) or other Intel-based processor PCs/laptops/tablets
You can install and run Adobe Reader XI to view or edit comments.
Adobe Reader for Windows 8 Tablets (Windows Store app) does not support viewing and editing of comments yet as of this writing. But we are working on adding the support in the near future.

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

Edit pdf files with surface touch

how do i edit pdf files with surface win

Adobe Reader products (Reader XI desktop, Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, Reader Touch for Windows 8, etc.) are free and mainly focused on PDF viewing capabilities.
If you actually want to modify text or images in PDF or create PDFs from Word or Excel files, etc., you need Acrobat XI Pro or Standard (paid product).
The following page shows the product comparison for Acrobat/Reader XI for desktop.
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
If you have a Surface Pro (running the Windows 8 operating system), you can run Acrobat XI Pro or Standard in the desktop environment for editing PDFs. However, if you have a Surface RT (running the Windows RT operating system), you are not able to run any of the Acrobat desktop products (including Reader XI) because they are not compatible with the Windows RT operating system.

How can i open my pdf files on surface rt desktop

i can't seem to open pdf files on the desktop

Microsoft Surface has its own pdf reading software and there is a Reader Touch application. Have you downloaded the free Reader Touch applicaiton?

Can two or more place comments on a pdf file at the same time?

We use SharePoint to place pdf files for our team members to open and comment and review. Until recently we have not had any issues with two or more opening the same pdf at the same time and placing comments. But now we are losing some of the comments. Please advise.

I've seen changes I've made on my iPad show up on the same document that's been open all the time on my Mac, which suggests it might be possible. However, I've also had a small number of notifications that documents on different devices are not in sync with each other. So while it might have the potential to work, I'd be inclined to think it would be quite unreliable.

Exporting Mark-Ups and Comments from a PDF file

Hello,
I know there are several options for exporting comments associated with highlighted text in Adobe Acrobat Standard, but is there a way to export both the comment AND the marked up text all together?
Thank you.

The built-in Summarize Comments tool in Acrobat only uses the text in the comment itself, so if you've made a bunch of comments without enabling the setting mentioned above, you're screwed... Well, almost.
I've developed a tool that allows you to retroactively copy the highlighted text back into the comment, while preserving any comments you might have made yourself.

For instance, the forms.conf file:
# Virtual path mapping for Forms Java jar and class files (codebase)
AliasMatch ^/forms/java/(..*) "D:\Oradev/forms/java/$1"
# Virtual path for JInitiator downloadable executable and download page
AliasMatch ^/forms/jinitiator/(..*) "D:\Oradev/jinit/$1"
# Virtual path for runform.htm (used to run a form for testing purposes)
AliasMatch ^/forms/html/(..*) "d:\oradev/tools/web/html/$1"
# Virtual Path for icons
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "d:\icons/$1"
...you can move your files in one of the existing physical directories - e.g: d:/icons - and call them with the following:
Web.show_Document('/forms/icons/document.pdf','_blank');But you can also add your own virtual/physical directory:
# Virtual Path for documents
AliasMatch ^/forms/documents/(..*) "d:\documents/$1"
...with the following code:
Web.show_Document('/forms/documents/document.pdf','_blank');Francois

Opening PDF Files in Adobe Reader XI directly from SharePoint 2013 Site

I am trying to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI directly from a SharePoint 2013 document library using Internet Explorer 11. When I click the file name it immediately opens the file in Adobe Reader, however it is downloading and opening the file locally
from the Temporary Internet Files location. If I add a comment to the PDF file, and save it will perform a Save As and the location will default to the temporary folder.
If instead of clicking the file name, I click the ellipses in SharePoint, copy the file URL, and go to Adobe Reader, click File > Open and paste the link into the file name, Adobe Reader will correctly open the file directly from the SharePoint site and
prompt for "Open and Checkout, Open, or Cancel".
Is there a way to get it so that when I click the file in IE, I get the same functionality as a File > Open in Adobe Reader?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your description, you want to open pdf file in the Adobe Reader directly from document library.
I suggest you do as the followings:
1. In SharePoint Central Administration site, click Application Management->Manage Web Applications, select the web application for the site. Click Authentication
Providers, select default zone, and select Yes for "Enable Client Integration?".
2. click Site Settings-> Site collection features->"Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" click Activate
3. set the default open behavior for a document library by using the document library settings page.
4. Enable the “Adobe Arcobat SharePoint OpenDocuments Component”add-on in the IE11.
5. Add your current site URL to the trusted web sites in IE11.

Can you change a PDF file to only allow one person have it open on a shared network?

At my office, we all work from the same network and are constantly sharing files. We need to add comments and edit PDF files. One thing I have noticed is that adobe will not tell you that someone else has the file open until you have made all your changes and are trying to save it. Is there anyway you can be notified when you open the file that someone else is in it or only allow one user to have it open at a time?
By the way... we are all using Adobe Acrobat X Standard

No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.

How can I recover my currupted PDF file?

I was working on comments for my PDF file (writing comments) suddenly my laptop got hung and when I restarted the computer and tried opening the file it showed the following comment "ädobe reader could not open the file because it is either not supported file type or because the file has been damaged"
Please suggest how I can recover it.. i just need the comments I have provided in that document

Generally, that will be very hard to do, unless you have a recent backup with some of your comments saved.

Saving a PDF file without the comments

In Acrobat Reader, is it possible to save a copy of a PDF file without the comments.
I'm doing a PhD, and would like to be able to send some scientific papers to colleagues without the annotation I may have added. Of course, manually removing all the comments is not a good solution.

In the Comment panel, go to the Comments List, press Ctrl+A and then Delete.

Why can I not make comments on pdf files?

OK this has been driving me nuts for a couple years now. I used to have an earlier versison of Acrobat Reader (5.0 maybe?) where I could freely highlight and make comments throughout the document--very easy and straightforward. When I got a new computer I had to go version 9--and now I cannot highlight, undlerline, comment or do ANYTHING at all with the text--on the very SAME documents I used to do this on (and on new ones as well). Commenting is never allowed on ANY .pdf file I have. WHY has Adobe done this???? Do I have to upgrade to some commercial version or what? Frustrated as hell with this huge step backwards that completely limits my ability to find information in documents quickly.

You probably didn't have Reader before, but Acrobat, which is the non-free
version that allows you to create PDF files and to make comments. With
Reader, you can only create comments if this was specifically allowed by the
creator of the PDF. If you want this functionality you will other need to
ask the creator of your files to enable commenting in Reader, or buy
Acrobat.

Hi All,
Is there any way available to enable comments into pdf files through java. I have a Adobe Reader 9 and also I want put some comments into pdf file, but the reader is not allowed to place a comment into pdf file before enabling the Comments into pdf. After enabling the comments in pdf file then only we can place the comments and we can the pdf file with comments.
Is there any way available to enable comments into pdf file to view acrobat reader.
Thanks in advance.

The end user who uses the web application has Acrobat installed in their mahcine needs it only for the purpose of enabling comments in pdf. If this task of enabling comments in pdf is done through my application there is no need for acrobat in such user's machine which was requested as a cost cuttnig measure.
For this purpose, i need to know about how to enable comments in pdf through java api.
I have used itext java api for other pdf related manipulation in java. But it does not have feature as per the requirement posted above. Can any body suggest relevant java api to achieve the task requested?
Tahnks in Advance.
