Enable commenting for Reader users

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS8F17CB6D-B39D-4cf6-8060-7907C1AC53F7.w.htm l

When trying to share a Reader extended PDF, I get this dialog box: "The document you have chose cannot be sent for shared review or collaboration
because its current security permissions do not allow modifications. Please choose another document or change this document to allow modifications."
Does this meant that Reader extended PDFs are only sharable as email attachments and cannot be shared via Acrobat.com? If so, how do I get around
this? My department has Acrobat X, but most of the organization uses Reader X. We frequently need to share PDFs for review.

Enable commenting for reader

Hello,
Is it possible to set "enable commenting for reader" as the default condition when saving?
Thanks,
Scott

No, it must be done manually for each file (unless you purchase a very
expensive server product that can do it to multiple files).

Enable Commenting for Reader not working

I create a PDF file in Acrobat 8.1 and select Enable Commenting in Reader. However, the users open the file in Reader 9 and it doesn't work. I've been able to replicate this. And no matter what I do - save the file with a different name, in a different location, whatever - it never enables commenting. However, if I check the Security for the file in Reader it says commenting is allowed. I'm at my rope's end. This is how my users provide feedback so it's a really important feature for us.
Anyone know why this is happening? This was not an issue up until recently and nothing has changed (no upgrades or anything).

Thanks for getting back. I am uploading a sample of PDF in which I enabled commenting but when I open it in Reader the commenting toolbar is not displayed but when you go to properties it says commenting is allowed. I also checked to make sure the files were not be saved as archive files (it is set to never save files as archives).
I am also uploading screenshots of the process I follow to enable comments and of the Reader properties dialog that shows commenting is allowed.

PDF opens slower after enabling comments for Reader

I enabled commenting for Adobe Reader to my PDF and now when I try to open the document in Reader it takes about 15 seconds longer. Ok, its just 15 seconds, but still...all my other pdf documents open instantly. Is Adobe Reader loading/checking the entire document for comments?--maybe that's why it takes longer?

Enable save for all users in rich client document defaultly for all users

Hi,
Is there a option to enable save for all users in a rich client document defaultly for all users across the company. As the users who are creating reports are forgetting to check the box before sending the rich client document to others. Kindly let me know if you have any suggestions on this.
Thanks,
Karthik

I'd suggest that is is where your BO folder structure comes in. You can export from Rich Client to any folder that you have permissions to access - some sort of collaboration folder system would potentially be better and more secure than sending unsecured reports via email. If your IT security team found out that you were removing document security, I doubt they'd be impressed!
You can't do the default save for all users, simple as that (it's bad practice anyway, which is probably why you can't). While it's not the answer that you want to hear, it is the correct one.

Enabling calendaring for a user or group not working

Am having an issue getting ical server/sharing and webcalandars working. Think it is all related.
First a description of my server environs. One xserve acting as OD master, fileserver, vpn, DNS and DHCP server as well. Second xserve acting as DNS, mail, web and ical server. Second server is OD replica.
DNS is working. All OD functions including kerberos are working. Mail and webmail are working as well.
The hostname in iCal Server Admin settings is the FQDN of my second xserve. icalxserve.domain.com. I can start iCal. Then I get this error in the logs:
twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryInitError: Open Directory has no /Computers records with a virtual hostname: icalxserve.domain.com
Remember this server is a OD replica. It is listed in the Computers pane under Workgroup Manager and its name is server.domain.com$. All the computers have $ at the end so I assume this is normal. All services are set for access from all users in Server Admin -> server -> Access. In Server Admin Web -> Sites -> (default site highlighted) Web Services webmail, wiki and blog and web calendaring are all checked as well. I have also tried to enable wiki and blog and web calendar for groups in Workgroup Manager. The only choices in the pop up are none and wiki host for domain.com. Strange.
I cannot enable calendaring for any user. I check the Enable calendaring box under Advanced in the Accounts pane in Workgroup Manager and no server is listed in the pop up menu. It only reads No calendar host selected without any other choices. It should show me icalxserve.domain.com.
When I goto http://icalxserve.domain.com site I get the default homepage and webmail works. If I click on the Groups button I see the 2 groups I have enabled services for. But when I click on the groupname I get the following error page:
Not Found
404: No group with that name (thomas) hosted on this server
Not sure what to do next. OD doesn't seem to be working like I would expect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Please note I am posting this late on Sunday night and have jury duty tomorrow. I will obviously try to check back as soon as I can but maybe not until Monday night. Thanks again.

Hi
+"I don't see this option. Am I doing doing something wrong?"+
Your Rider seems to indicate 10.6? If you're not seeing this option in WorkGroup Manager I'm guessing you're using 10.6 Server? In which case you've posted in the wrong forum with a question that's not applicable anymore. Apple removed those options in 10.6. Another possibility is you're trying to manage a 10.5 Server using 10.6 Server Admin Tools and it's giving unpredictable results? The Server Administration Applications cab behave oddly if you're trying use a newer version on an older server. You should use the version of the Tools that came with the Server.
The 10.6 iCal Server Admin Manual is here:

ASA enable authentication for AD user by ACS TACACS fails

In order to authorize command on ASA8.x for different users, I have to put 'aaa authentication enable console TACACS' into ASA configuration, and in ACS - user setup - TACACS+ enable password - Use separate password, I set an enable password.
It works fine for ACS local users, they are able to get into priv EXEC mode by entering 'enable' command and use my pre-set password, however, the password doesn't work for AD user.
So, how to setup enable authorization for AD user?
Or is there a way to drop a user directly into level 15 on ASA just like it on router?
below is the debug info.(I'm sure the password is the one I set in ACS)
LABASA1(config)# AAA API: In aaa_open

I have run into a similar situation. I just want to authenticate via TACACS to enable mode in an ssh session. After using the "aaa authentication enable console TACACS LOCAL" command on the ASA, the ACS server rejects the password.
I have tried everything I can think of on the ACS as far as "TACACS+ enable password" using both a windows database or a separate password, and PIX/ASA command sets. I cannot go into enable mode unless I set the ASA to LOCAL authentication, which just uses the globally defined enable password.

Can't enable calendaring for some users in WGM

10.5.6 server
OD set up and working fine
I'm trying to get going with iCal server for the first time
The 3 accounts that I initially enabled for calendaring seem to work fine, but now I can't add any more. If I enable calendaring for a user in WGM and save the record, if I go to another record and then back to the one I changed, I see that calendaring is disabled for that user.
It continues to work for the initial 3 users.
iCal server error log did have some messages about "Record disabled due to conflict: <OpenDirectoryRecord..........."
I read on another post that this indicates a problem with duplicate UIDs/GIDs
I found one each UID ad GID that were both duplicated in local and LDAP records, so I changed those in WGM. On top of that I found that groups "Open Director Users" and "Open Directory Administrators" had the same GIDs in both local and LDAP domains, but guessed that I had better leave these alone. There are no other duplicate UIDs or GIDs.
Stop and start iCal server.
Problem remains.
Any ideas please?
Many thanks......

Dear All,
I have the same problem, i can't active the 'web calendaring' for groups and for users, the checkbox 'enable calendaring' don't stay checked if i close and open the workgroup manager...
Someone has a solution?

OCS 2007 Enabling Federation for all users globally

I've set up federation in OCS 2007 and it's working. The problem now is I need to make enable it en mass for my users.
I've searched all properties and can't find where I enable it for all users. The setting I'm looking for is equivalent to going in the users properties > Other Settings [configure] > and checking Enable Federation and Enable Remote access.
I'd hate to go through 300+ users to check this. Does anyone know where I can set this globally?
Thanks.

What are the odds of that...answered my own question.
I right clicked the users folder > configure users and it walked me through checking those options.
Hope it saves someone some time :)

Want to create an add-in/webpart that can enable comments for each day in TimeSheet

Hi,
Want to create an add-in/webpart that can enable comments for each day in timesheet.
I need help how can I achieve that programmatically.
Regards,
Mehar

Hi,
I already developed this kind of customization. The system offered the possibility to clic on a cell (Project Center, or My Task, or Timesheet), to input a value to store in a custom field, or in a database.
After clicking, a Popup with different textbox, etc...is displayed: it is possible to put values, comments, or whatever.
The benefits is that with this method, you don't have to redevelop the complete timesheet grid, which would be really complex.
Instead of that, you develop a part of javascript code, which displays a popup containing asp.net code. From the aspx page, you can make what you want: modifying the value of an task/assignment customfield for exemple.
To start, you can search for the Project Server 2010 SDK, Customize Project Center: it would be a good start point.
In case of big difficulty, ask again here, and we could get in touch to give more explanations.
Hope it helps,
Sylvain

How to enable commenting for Adobe Reader users--missing menu option?

According to the help file, I can enable commenting in Acrobat Pro X so that Adobe Reader users can use annotation and commenting tools. The help file says:
"In an open PDF, choose Comments > Enable For Commenting In Adobe Reader, and then save the PDF.:"
However, all is see on my menubar is:
According to the help file, I *should* see something like the following:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro X. I have installed Acrobat Pro X on a machine that has never had Acrobat Pro installed on it. Each time I see only the shortened version of menu options.
So, why do I only see File, Edit, View, Window and Help? Where are the other menu items, such as Comments, Forms, Tools, etc? Is there something I need to do to enable them?

*Thank you*. That worked. How odd that the help file was out-of-date with my version of Acrobat. Thanks you again!

Enabling comments for Acrobat Reader

My reviewers are running Reader 9 (we have tried 8 also) and are unable to see the comment bar and therefore cannot review my pdf I sent( via email). In the document properties, when viewed from Reader, it shows commenting is not allowed. I am running Acrobat 9 and I understand that I have to use the Enable analysis and Review for Reader from the Comments menu. Problem is, that option is not in the menu. How do I enable the menu option for my reviewers to be able to make comments?
thanks,
Kelly

You can find the option in Comments menu (Acrobat->Comments menu->Enable for commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader) after opening the PDF file.

How to enable comments on Reader

Hello,
One of the main uses I had of Acrobat 9 was to enable comments on my PDF files for Adobe Reader. Now I upgraded to Acrobat XI, and I could not locate that option anywhere. I looked for it in the menus and the help, Googled it and searched here, to no avail.
I understand that Adobe Reader XI does not need that permission to put comments on files. But I still need to enable the comments, for users who will get my files that do not have Adobe Reader XI - in particular Linux users, given that the most recent Reader for Linux is 9.5.5.
Can anyone help me? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Paulo

Failed to enable documento for Reader

Hello again,
I just finished doing a fillable PDF with Acrobat 9 and I need to save it as a fillable PDF that can be saved.
Thus I go to Advanced and clic on Enable Reader users to save form data, but I get a popup error that said "Impossible to save document for Reader" [I am using the Italian version of Acrobat and I translated this error - it may be different in the English version]. No code error is displayed nor a Help link.
One thing worth mention: when working on this document, I often got the error 14 - Impossible to save the document.After trying another 2 or 3 times the document was saved correctly.
I tried this solution: http://blog.stronico.com/2009/12/how-to-fix-the-adobe-acrobat-save-as-error/ with no luck.
Please help!

I embedded all the fonts in Word 2007 (Word button > Options > Save > Embed only the characters used in this document - see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/embed-true-type-fonts-in-word-and-powerpoi nt-2007-documents/ )
Then I saved the Word file as a PDF.
I opened the old PDF and replaced all the pages with the new embedded PDF, but I still have the error 14 when saving (on the third attempt it saves the PDF, anyway) and I am still unable to save the PDF with extended accessibility.
Plus, Acrobat crashes....
Please note that the fillable PDF opens and displays correctly in Reader.

How to make signature field work for reader users? Security settings change when doc is extended???

I've been struggling to correct a problem all week and am at my wits end. Customer service was no help as the person I spoke with could barely speak english let alone understand the problem as I explained it to him. Hoping someone here can provide some insight, here's the issue:
I'm using a Windows 7 Professional OS. I created a Microsoft Word doc and used Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to create a form from it. It automatically detected the fields, which includes a signature field. I went through fixed it all up how it needed to be and did "save as other - reader extended pdf - enable forms fill in & save in reader".
The document is a report that will be sent to a small number of people that have to fill it out, digitally sign and return and I'm assuming that most if not all of them will open the document using the free Adobe Reader. So I thought extending it is what I needed to do to make sure they could fill it out, save it to their computer if need be, and also sign digitally. The signature field was automatically added in by acrobat for me and I did not change the properties of it at all except to add a border.
When I open the form in Reader (also XI) I can fill out all the fields, save it... but not sign it. The security settings say signing is not allowed even though I went back to the original pdf form and the security settings on it say allowed for everything. I don't know how to fix this... please help!!!
I've attached some screen shots but can include more if needed...

I don't have the Enable More Tools option under Reader Extended PDF. I just tried to download the XI Pro trial version and it won't complete installation because of the standard version I already have. Any advice or workarounds you know of? Going to the boss for $$ to upgrade to Pro is what I'll consider my last resort if the issue is truly that I have to use Pro to enable more tools for reader.... I appreciate your reply though. I sat here all day yesterday fingers crossed that SOMEONE would give it a go!
