Customization of Acrobat Reader X - Remove Comment | Share

Hello,
Im searching for a possibility to customize Acrobat Reader 10.
I need to remove the functions "Comment" and "Share" which are located on the right side of the tool bar.
Are their any registy keys I can use for this? The only possibility I currently see is using AppSense Environment Manager but we also use server farms which are not managed via AppSense.
Kind regards

Okay, I found the answer:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Workflows]
"bEnableAcrobatHS"=dword:00000000

Acrobat Reader X security, comments disable

Hello, we need to work with Acrobat Reader X. We generate a pdf from a doc file and we add security to disable printing and we enable commenting, but when we open it with Acrobat Reader X we see that printing is disabled, but commenting is disable too. ¿It's a bug from Acrobat Reader X? we know that Acrobat Reader XI resolve it but we can't see in realease notes.

We add security from java with itext library. Wirth user and password:
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, out);
stamp.setEncryption("".getBytes(),"PASSWORD".getBytes(), (PdfWriter.ALLOW_MODIFY_ANNOTATIONS), true);
If we put "stamp.setEncryption("".getBytes(),"PASSWORD".getBytes(), (PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING), true);" we can see PRINTING enable but it we put " stamp.setEncryption("".getBytes(),"PASSWORD".getBytes(), (PdfWriter.ALLOW_MODIFY_ANNOTATIONS), true);" is always disabled.
We use Acrobat Reader 10.1.3 .
I read some discussions like http://blogs.adobe.com/vikrant/2010/12/can-i-comment-on-pdfs-using-the-free-adobe-reader/ but i need an oficial release note where we can read the bug.
ACROBAT X.
ACROBAT XI.
I know that with Acrobat 11.0 the problem is resolved, I tried with 10.1.4, 10.1.5, 10.1.6, 10.1.7, 10.1.8 and 10.1.9. I can't find the list of release notes of Acrobat Reader 11.0.

Acrobat/Reader Enable for Commenting

If I use Acrobat 9 to enable a document for commenting by users of Reader 9 I have a difference in behavior:
In Acrobat I can check my preference to "automatically open comment pop-ups for comments other than notes" and to "copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups".
In my case this is very useful.
In Reader 9 I can not find this options and this options do not get export via the document automatically.
Is this a non-free feature or did I overlook some configuration possibilities with Reader 9?
Any hint appreciated.

Commenting with Acrobat Reader 9

We're trying to create PDFs that our clients can notate comments on and send back to us for routing purposes.
Our problems relate specifically to Acrobat Reader 9. Weve tried creating PDFs from InDesign and from a web browser (for our web jobs), but when the recipient opens the PDFs in Acrobat Reader 9 theyre unable to add comments to them, and we cant figure out why.
Can you tell me how to make comments on a PDF using Acrobat Reader 9?? We use Mac OSX to create the PDFs and all of our clients are on Windows XP to do commenting.
Thanks!

Hey graffiti-
Thanks for the response!
We figured out how to get it to work but the method you described wouldn't do it for us. When I opened the PDF in pro and enabled it for commenting in reader like you suggested, our tester using Acrobat Reader 9 still couldnt make comments.
The only way I could get the document to be accessible in Reader was to open the PDF in pro, choose attach for email review from the COMMENTING menu, and then on step 2 of the process (where you add your email addresses for recipients) cilck on the button to customize review options and make sure the checkbox for allow Acrobat Reader users to comment.
Not sure why it wouldnt work the way you outlined... Certainly seems logical that that your method should work also.

Can not accept license after installing Acrobat Reader 8 and removing 6

To whom it may concern,
after installing Acrobat Reader 8, removing Acrobat Reader 6, and starting Acrobat Reader 8 the license agreemnet window appeared as aspected. The problem is it displays everything as far as I can see correctly, but it is not working in any way. I have to close the windows by clicking on the white cross in the title bar. I then receive the message, that I did not accept the license and therefore Acrobat Reader will be closed. And that happens when I click ok.
Hopefully someone over here as a tip who I can proceed. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jochen

Dear Claudio and Shari,
Liam's suggestions have been of value for me. The Acrobat Reader is up and running.
Thank's!
@Shari
I'm using Firefox as well. An the tip and tool form Liam helped.
Just give it a try. The Explorer is used by Windows for more than a simple browser.
Best regards,
Jochen

Exporting pdf in Indesign that allows commenting & saving in Acrobat Reader

I have a feeling there isn't a way to do this but I thought I would ask in case there is. I was wondering if you can export a pdf in Indesign CS4 that someone who is using Acrobat Reader X can comment and then save. I know you can open the pdf in Acrobat Pro and select Advance>extend features in Acrobat Reader and that will work but I was wondering if there was a way to skip this step.
Thanks!

No.

Disable Enable Commenting and Analysis in Acrobat Reader for editing

Hello,
I want to remove "Enable Commenting and Analysis in Acrobat Reader" so I can edit the PDF with Pitstop or Advanced Editing tools, and everything gets dimmed even though I resave the file thru File > Save a Copy
How can I go about editing my PDFs after they have been enabled for Commenting in Reader?
Save a Copy is not working for me.
Thank you

The file contains an overprint Varnish plate.
I applied the enable commenting, but need to remove and it crashes once I use Save a Copy

Adobe Customization Wizard 9 and acrobat reader

Im trying to customise the acrobat reader with the Customization Wizard 9 and even if set some option like disable the check for update even after deploying the msi the option still there i also try to disable the EULA when you first start the program neither ..... still apear the first time i start acrobat reader
Thanks

As you are installing Adobe Reader 9 over Acrobat 8 then you need not worry about checking those greyed out options.
When you will install Adobe Reader 9, the Reder setup will not uninstall any previous Acrobat 8 version on it own.
So, you can go ahead and install Reader without worrying about these options. The Reader setup will only prompt during installation that whether to make Reader or Acrobat 8 the default viewer of PDF files.
These options have only been provided for the situation when, say, Acrobat 9 is being installed over Acrobat 8, then it gives the user an option to choose whether to remove previous version of Acrobat or not. Because newer Acrobat versions remove previous Acrobat versions before installation, which is not possible with the Reader setup.
That said, please note that it is not recommended to use Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, Adobe doesn't recommend this.

Customization Wizard X - Uninstall Acrobat (Reader) X?

The Adobe Customization Wizard X has the option when generating msts for 'Removing Previous Versions of Acrobat' and 'Removing previous versions of Reader'. Is there any way of having it remove version 10 installations as well?
For example, when generating the mst for Acrobat X, I would like the installation to remove Acrobat Reader X, if it were to exist on the machine, and vice versa.
I know I can likely accomplish this by other means (I am installing via GPO, and could set the software to uninstall when a machine falls out of scope), but in our instance, I think this option would be a much cleaner solution.

Reader installer with MST does not interfere with the Acrobat installations (any previous versions). Whereas, Acrobat installer with MST may interfere with the both Acrobat and Reader installations (any previous versions)
i.e. If we have both Acrobat and Reader installed on the machine, and we are creating Latest Reader's MST vias Cust Wizard. It can not uninstall any previous versions of Acrobat. The installer for (Latest version's) Full Reader has ability to remove any previous versions of Reader. i.e. We do not need to specifically go and check the "Remove Previous versions of Reader"
However, if we have Acrobat and Reader installed on the machine, and we are creating Latest Acrobat version's MST vias Cust Wizard. It can uninstall any previous versions of both Acrobat and Reader.
So, the Reader option is ruled out and we are left with only Acrobat installation. Can the Acrobat X MST's remove the Reader X (same version) installations ? The answer is "No" it can not remove the same version (i.e. Reader X) but can remove any previous versions of Reader.
Hope, it helps.

Comments not seen on Acrobat Reader

Comments are not seen on Acrobat Reader when the pdf is sent by e-mail, but it was before. I need help. Yks

Hi,
Can you please check once if your comments are being saved in PDF? Add a comment or other annotation to the pdf, close it and open again to see if these are being saved? If these are getting saved, try sending again through email and see if they work now or not. Please try and share.

Why can't I password-protect a PDF that's been Enabled for Commenting in Acrobat Reader?

What is the point of not being able to password-protect a PDF you have enabled Commenting in for Acrobat Reader users?
We are testing out the option of using the "commented" PDF from the user's end (who just has Acrobat Reader). These PDFs we'll be sending are highly sensitive and need to be password-protected.
We're using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS4, on new Intel iMacs running the latest updated Leopard.
Help?

You need to passsword protect the file before enabling commenting in
Reader. Just don't save in between the two steps.

Acrobat Reader 9.0 PDF - Commenting property "Not Allowed"

Hi,
I saved a document in Illustrator as PDF but unfortunately the Commenting property is set to "Not Allowed" and I cannot mark-up the file in Acrobat Reader. What is strange is all properties are set to "Allowed" when I open the same document in Acrobat Pro!
Can I do anything in Illustrator or Acrobat Reader in order to have this Commenting property set to "Allowed"?
For info, I am using Illustrator CS2 and Acrobat Reader 9.0
Cheers!

This is normal. Reader cannot normally add comments.
HOWEVER, a file can be prepared in Acrobat Pro (See the Comments menu)
so Reader can add comments. This locks out certain other things: read
the warning carefully.

Missing Commenting Toolbar for Acrobat Reader 9.3

Our company's standard desktop PCs run Acrobat 9.3.4 , Windows XP SPII (still), and IE 8.0
I have 2 PDF files, with the same Reader Extensions applied to both (commenting). The source of the PDF files was from Autocad (plant drawings). They are produced in exactly the same fashion , and in fact were generated within minutes of each other using an automated process.
What I am trying to say is that , from a PDF data structure point of view, these files are the same.
The PDF files are put on a web browser and users can access and open them in Internet Explorer within our intranet.
I know that Reader Extensions works for both because when these PDFs are opened up on user's desktop PC that only has Acrobat Reader in Internet Explorer we dynamically add annotations (using the Javascript API) to the PDF file as well as support other Reader Extension features such as spawning templates.
Here is the problem.
One PDF file has the commenting and markup toolbar when opened.
The other PDF file does not.
And when I right click on the one that does not Commenting and Markup is NOT an option. I cannot find a way to enable this.
This is now a major problem for us as we would like to support adding comments to these PDF files.
I cannot fathom what the difference is that would trigger Acrobat to suppress/ show the toolbar for one file and not the other.
So I have 2 questions.
1. What stops Acrobat from showing the commenting toolbar?
2. Is there some way through the Javascript API that I can force the commenting toolbar on for the PDF file that does not have it?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

We have found an answer.
I still do not know why there is inconsistent behaviour, but if we execute the following Javascript (we are putting it in the /After section), it enables commenting
Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = true

Acrobat/Reader cannot cope with internal Webserver connectivity problems, leading to comments being hidden/deleted. Any thoughts?

Adobe Acrobat/Reader do not cope with interruptions to access to the internal WebServer hosting the PDF/XML review files.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
Connection is lost to the WebServer hosting the PDF review files.
After connection to the WebServer is regained, access to the PDF review files is blocked by Adobe Acrobat/Reader.
Sometimes this can be resolved by deleting the entire contents of the folder:
C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Synchronizer
NOTES:
We have experienced this behaviour especially when connecting to the WebServer via VPN. I reckon the connectivity issues could be initially our problem, that Acrobat/Reader simply do not handle.
Clearing the contents of the Synchronizer folder does not always work.
Team members have also seen situations where significant numbers of review comments or status values have been not been displayed, but exist in the XML review files. In some cases comments/status values have been automatically deleted without warning from the Adobe review XML files.
PDF reviews are sent out via email as links to the PDF review file hosted on an internal WebServer.
Writers and reviewers in the team either have either:
Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 with Reader 11.0.08
Acrobat XI Pro 9.5.5 with Reader 11.0.08
I have personally experienced the above behaviour with Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.08 and Reader 11.0.08.
Could this experience be connected the Synchronizer (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html )?
For example, where a reviewer uses a different version of Acrobat/Reader?
Could anyone please provide a list of compatible versions of Acrobat/Reader?
Expected results:
Adobe Acrobat/Reader should really handle connection issues with a warning and later check for recovered connections.
However, what appears to be happening is that Acrobat/Reader writes some sort of blocking code to the Synchronizer folder that prevents future checks of the PDF review files on the review WebServer.
As far as I understand, the connection issues are not caused by Adobe software, however the problems we are experiencing relate to how Adobe Acrobat/Reader handle this loss of connection.
Plea for Help!
I have checked and the experience of missing comments and persistent "connectivity issues" seems to be a reported but sadly outstanding issue...
This has been an ongoing headache for some time, so solutions would be great, but any thoughts or suggestions are welcome...?
For example, has anyone using SharePoint to host PDF reviews experienced anything similar?
Many thanks!

Adobe Acrobat 11.0.09 with Microsoft SharePoint Repository Trial Update
We've completed week one of a three week trial (see above) that will go on until Friday 24th October.
We currently have just four PDF files out for review that make use of the SharePoint repository.
To-date:
Each review file has had multiple concurrent reviewers posting comments over several days from both over the office LAN and also via VPN when working remotely.
Dynamic stamps seem to be working as hoped and are all visible.
We have not experienced any connection-type issues and the we have not had reason to clear out the Synchronizer folder as described above.
Counter balance:
I have experienced the situation with a remote VPN connection, where Adobe Acrobat could not connect to our internal WebServer repository. At the same time, I was able to connect to PDF review files hosted in SharePoint.
Summary:
The experience so far does suggest that problems are caused by the an inconsistent connection to the WebServer repository (especially over VPN) combined with Adobe Acrobat/Reader's inability to cope with the resulting situation.
At the moment I must say that while it is early days, I am hopeful that the combination of SharePoint as the repository and the update to Adobe Acrobat/Reader 11.0.09 will continue to prove to be reliable.
I'll provide an update to this post on Friday 24th October...
Here's hoping!

How do I remove a navigation pane in acrobat reader XI

How do I remove at all a navigation pane on the left in acrobat reader XI? It is really very annoying remove it hundred times using the right mouse button.

Every time I open a new pdf file, there a navigation bar appears on the left (see screen). I do not need it and it really bothers when I working by place two parallel windows on the screen. For sure it can be removed by clicking the right mouse button. But it must be done every time, and it tires.
How can I make this navigation bar does not appear, I do not know. I looked on the internet, but found nothing. Probably, in principle, developers could leave the pane on the machine on default, but to make an easy way to remove it and save the settings for the future opening new files.
