Comments (Sticky Notes) Compatibility Across Platforms

If I "Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader" whilst in Acrobat Pro running on a Mac, I can open the subsequent PDF file in Adobe Reader on a Mac and add Sticky Notes without a problem.
If I open the same file on a Windows platform, using Adobe Reader, I get an error message and am unable to add Sticky Notes.
I can't find any information about this error message or what it actually means.
Is this a known problem?

@Amboos and @George Johnson: Thank you both for your input. The version of Acrobat I am using is the latest in both cases - Mac OS X : Acrobat X; Windows XP and 7 : Acrobat X.
But I have discovered what appears to be the key factor causing this problem.
As I am a Mac user, my testing on Windows platforms (XP and Windows 7) was taking place under 'virtual machine' conditions, with Windows installed on Macs running under either VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox.
It appears that under these conditions the error occurs, whilst under 'vanilla' Windows installs on pure PC platforms (XP and Windows 7) it does not.
This is the only instance of incompatibility I have discovered in using Windows installed on Macs, but one worth noting nevertheless.
Something does obviously happen to the Acrobat files during the transfer between pure Mac OS X and 'virtual' Windows running on Mac platforms.

  • 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.

  • Possible to print comments (Sticky Notes) in Reader?

    We are using Reader with comments for approving and commenting on documents.
    I want to print the comments with the PDF.
    Any way to do this?

    By accident I discovered a work around.  Export as a docx file -- then opened in my IPad under Dropbox.  Voila!  All the notes were there and printable. 
    Come on, Apple -- update pages and make this easier!!!  Really disappointed in you.

  • I message compatibility across platforms

    My mother reads on a nook, with the Android operating system, and I have all apple products both at work and at home and for my phone......  I prefer the i message system to yahoo, given the way that it notified me on my mac whilst working, of new messages and so on.  Does anyone have any idea if there is a means, a patch, and android app, that would enable her to register on imessage so that we can use that service to communicate?

    The iMessage network is only accessible on Apple devices, but the Messages application can work with other messaging networks that also work with Android devices.

  • Sticky notes/comments

    I'm having no luck trying to add comments/sticky notes to a large pdf file in a trial version of Acrobat 9.3. I'm assured I have document rights enabled. I can't access the Navigation toolbar. I can't access the sticky note cursor. My email is [email address deleted by host]   Thank you. Adrian

    Yes,
    Adobe Reader does not provided comment & mark up functionality by itself.
    It is simply a "viewer".
    If a PDF is "enabled" or "extended" with Acrobat Professional (8 or 9) then Adobe Reader can permit a user to make comments.

  • Can Sticky Notes be Moved Between PDF Documents?

    Is it possible to distribute a PDF document to which recipients add sticky notes. Revise the initial documents (without adding sticky notes) and distribute it, and have the recipients move to the revised PDF document the sticky notes they applied to the initial document?

    Thanks Dave,
    Is there any way to link a comment (sticky note) to a specific object rather than a page number, so that if:
    1) Comments are exported as data,
    2) The document is edited in Word to add or delete pages (ignoring all comments)
    3) A new PDF is created from the edited Word document
    4) Previously exported comments are imported to the new PDF so that they attach to the corrent objects, without being confused by pages being added or deleted?
    Your additional help will be appreciated.

  • Reader 9.1 won't print Sticky Notes/Comments

    I had recently updated my organization to version 9.1 of Adobe Acrobat Reader from 7. I had to perform the reg hack on 7 to be able to let my users print the Sticky notes, but that does not work in 9 and I don't see a setting. How do I get around this? We can view the notes just fine, via screen, but who would have thought, we actually need to print these comments on our proofs from our customers.
    Anyway, hope someone has an answer so we can continue on 9 and don't have to roll back.
    Thanks.

    I'm still getting emails relating to this issue, so I thought I would post an update here...
    I've now created a tool for Reader that allows you to print the contents of sticky notes as a part of the original document, without needing the expensive File Attachment right. All you need are the standard Commenting rights, which can be added in Acrobat.

  • Disappearing Sticky Note Comments in Acrobat 9 PDF Reviews

    I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro (version 9.3.2) and the reviewers are using Reader 9, and all of us are on Windows XP SP3. I'm distributing PDFs for online review using a SharePoint site (SharePoint Server 2007).
    We've observed the following behaviour if you Show Comments List and enter comments for a sticky note using the comment field in this list:
    If your cursor is still in the comment field when you publish, you'll get a message saying that a new comment was published, but the contents of the sticky note are missing from the other reviewers' views. They can accept the new comment and the metadata for the sticky note will appear, but the comment will be missing.
    If you publish again, you'll get a message saying that a comment was updated, and then the other reviewers will see the contents of the sticky note.
    If you enter comments in another sticky note (and leave the cursor in the comment field) before you publish for the 2nd time, you get a message saying 1 comment has been updated and 3 new comments have been added when you hit Publish. Why 3 new instead of 1?
    If your cursor is in the comment field, and you haven't published yet, and you do any other activity (such as sorting, filtering, collapsing the discussion), then whatever you had typed in the comment field disappears.
    This same behaviour has been observed for replies to sticky notes.
    Comments do not go missing if you type in the sticky note pop-up, or reply in the pop-up.
    The obvious workarounds are to enter sticky notes in the pop-ups instead of the Comments List, or click elsewhere on the List before doing anything else, or hit Publish twice. However, I don't think we should have to work around this. So, before I ask Adobe to fix this behaviour, has anyone else seen it? Or is there something about how to use the interface that I'm missing?

  • Is it possible to right down comments directly on a page without the sticky notes?

    Is it possible to right down comments directly on a page without the sticky notes?

    However, you will be able to do this with updates to iOS 5 which will be released this fall. You will still have to use your computer to update to iOS 5, but all incremental updates after that will not require your computer.

  • Deleting sticky notes / comments

    Hi!
    I am having trouble deleting sticky notes. have tried to by delete, unlock, etc. (all the obvious/usual solutions)

    Can you select them? Do you see them in the Comments List? Is the file secured or digitally signed?

  • How do I search for sticky notes in a PDF doc?

    Several people (at work) have commented on a 440-page document that I created, using sticky notes to write their comments in. When I first open the document, the sticky notes are all closed. The icon for a closed sticky note is pretty small and not brightly colored, so they're easy to miss when scrolling through hundreds of image-heavy pages. I am hoping that it's possible to search for each occurrence of a sticky note.
    If there is no way to search for the notes, is there a command I can use to open all the notes in the file (in one action) so that they are larger and easier to spot?
    Platform: Windows 8 PC
    Version: Acrobat 8
    If this is not a feature available in Acrobat 8, is it possible to do this in later versions?
    Apologies if this is not the right community for this question, but none of the ones listed seemed like the obvious choice, and there is no "miscellaneous" or "general" category. If there is a better community for the question, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Joyce.

    Out the gate you've a problem.
    The Acrobat 8 product family passed into "End of Support" many years ago (well before the release of Windows 8).
    "End of Support" means -- well, just that eh.
    The Acrobat 8 product family is not compatible with Windows 8.1, 8 or 7.
    The Acrobat XI product family is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1.
    Regarding Comment and Mark Up Annotations:
    With Acrobat 8 Pro use the "Comments List".
    Same wit Acrobat 9 Pro, X Pro and XI Pro.
    May be available with the various versions' "Standard" release.
    The contents of a Comments List can be exported to a PDF report.
    The filter an be used to display specific characteristics / attributes which then become the reports content when you output a report.
    Having "8" the Help PDF file got loaded with the install of "8".
    Use it to review the information provided on the Comments List.
    Be well...

  • Sticky Note (Text annotation)

    Hello,
    I decided to add some sticky notes (text annotation) in my pdf document and I was surprised to see that the sticky notes were not printed. I used the "Document and Markups" option for the print and even in the print preview the Sticky Notes were not present.
    Regarding the PDF Reference a sticky note is a Markup so it has to be printed.
    Is it a bug? A normal behavior?
    While I select the "Print notes and pop-ups" option in the Preferences - Commenting then the Sticky is printed (but also all notes and pop-ups

    The Preferences > Commenting > Print notes and popups option takes priority when printing sticky notes - if it's deselected, they don't print at all. If it's selected, sticky notes will print in whatever state they're in (collapsed or open) provided they don't have a non-print attribute set against them.
    Most people don't want stickies to print, as by their nature they are either collapsed (hence meaningless on paper) or will obscure some other part of the page. Text markups, stamps etc. can be printed without such issues, hence the above preference defaults to off.

    Hi,
    You can open your PDF file in Adobe Reader XI then select "Comment" from right top corner.
    You will see all your sticky notes under "Comment List"

  • How to install Sticky Notes in Windows Server 2012 R2

    I want to install Sticky Note in Windows Server 2012 R2. If this app is not available in Server 2012 then which is the
    best "Sticky Note" application for this platform.
    Thanks

    Here are instructions for 2008 -
    http://www.win2008r2workstation.com/sticky-notes/  I'm not sure about the legality of that, as I think Microsoft has some rules in their license about copying files from one distribution to another.  You would need a lawyer to check on that.
    Otherwise, a simple Bing search will turn up freeware apps you can download.
