Enable Commenting & Measuring in Acrobat 10 and 11

What does the "measuring" refer to in File | Save As Other | Reader Extended PDF | Enable Commenting & Measuring in Acrobat 11? (BTW, it was Comments | Enable for Commenting
and Analysis in Adobe Reader in Acrobat 9. The path was similar to 11 in version 10, but not identical.) I add this for others who are trying to find what new path to follow in 11. I had to go to Google to find it, and that was for 10. Thanks adobe.com support.

Hi Regina Engelken,
If you are specifically looking for information about measuring tool, Please refer this Link- Tips & Techniques: Measuring in Adobe Acrobat
I have also found a video Tutorial that depicts the usage of measuring tool :
The navigation path you mentioned ( File | Save As Other | Reader Extended PDF | Enable Commenting & Measuring in Acrobat 11) enables the Commenting and Measuring features for Users who are using Adobe Reader instead of Acrobat.
I hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you have any other query or need any assistance.
Regards,
Rahul

  • File Save As Other Reader Extended PDF Enable Commenting & Measuring GRAYED OUT

    I have an PDF form created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 10.0.
    When I open in Reader, All the "Sign" options are grayed out.
    Under "Properties" Signing is allowed but Commenting is not.
    From all I have seen, I hope that allowing Commenting will allow me to use the sign features.
    The only solution I'm finding on the internet is below:
    File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting & Measuring
    It is grayed out in my (latest version of) Acrobat pro.
    **Is there a way to make this option available?**
    **Will this even solve my problem?**
    **Is it possible that it is impossible to use these features on this document?**
    At this point, I've spent about two and a half hours on this issue and haven't been able to find a solution. Very frustrated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. I'm not an IT person and needed that lead.
    In the end, I just printed to Adobe PDF and then was able to use the commenting options (once I had flattened it). For those who might come across this - this is one of the only ways to flatten a XFA PDF.

  • How to Enable Comments in Adobe Acrobat Professional?

    Hai Pals,
    Am doing one desktop application for Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 in Java. Am in need to enable the comment option in Acrobat. I have idea to do this requirement through some other Third Party Scripts. Even i done that by script means, i want to do the interaction between the script and my application in JAVA. So, The better way i chosen was creating the entire application by JAVA. I have found some information by Google. There is some package to access the Adobe called adobe-utilities.jar. By using the package we can access the adobe application. Can someone guide me to develop my application module?

    Thanks For your Response. I got some idea through Google. I think it's possible with adobe lifecycle. But i have'nt any idea about that. I have found that some JAR like adobe-utilities.jar,j2ee.jar has some facilities to do the existing operations with a JAVA code. Is there any other technology like Scripting, StartupScripts or etc.,..

  • 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 PDF I have is generated from an application called "Rampage PDF PageAssembly"
    PDF Producer: PDFlib Personalization Server 7.0.0p3 (C++/Win32)
    PDF Version: 1.6
    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

  • 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

  • How do I enable commenting on a dynamic fillable pdf?

    This question applies to both Acrobat 9 and X. It seems like it's either one or the other - if I enable commenting, it asks that I use the File > Print to print as a flat non-fillable PDF, but if I want to keep the form fillable, then I cannot enable commenting.
    In Acrobat 9, "Advanced > Extend Features" only enables form filling, not commenting. "Comments > Enable Commenting" doesn't seem to do anything other than pop up that window to tell me to print the PDF. I believe the same limitations apply to Acrobat X, in "File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF".
    Is there a way to make my form fillable, but allow the commenting toolbar (sticky notes, highlighting, etc) in Adobe Reader?

    The only way to enable BOTH sets of options is via our LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server product.

  • Convert to a PDF/A-2b w/ "Enable Commenting..."

    Hi,  I work for an Illustration company & we are trying to understand how to get a certain kind of PDF. 
    1)  We use Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.0.2 to create .ai file type illustrations.
    2)  We export the file as a PDF to simplify (make it smaller also) the deliverable for our client.
    3)  We then open the PDF version in Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0 to "Enable Commenting & Measuring..." Our client needs this in case they would like to mark it up in Adobe Reader.
              The problem is now our client would like the files to be a PDF/A-1b  type.  It is my understanding that PDF/A-1b can not have "Enable Commenting & Measuring..." So they will let us deliver a PDF/A-2b  & it is my understanding that this version can have "Enable Commenting & Measuring..."  (We would just have to change the preference in Adobe Reader to allow it)
              My question is how can I easily get a PDF from Adobe Illustrator CS5 converted to a PDF/A-2b with "Enable Commenting & Measuring..." with out any errors?  If you know how this is done & could show us we would be very grateful.  We could do this through email, phone, Skype, whatever would be easiest for you.
              P.S.  If you can not show us, is it possible to point us in the right direction?  Thank you.

    Do you have any idea when this will come out?  Plus do you know what I need to do to get a PDF from Illustrator CS5 to a PDF/A-2b?  I have tried many ways but aleays get this dialog. 
    Then when I look inside Preflight I get this but I do not understand it.
    Any clues?

  • Enable Commenting and Measuring without a mouse

    I work for a large nonprofit with no tech department. (I'm on a mac OS 10.6, others have OS 10.7) We've just upgraded 3 of us to Acrobat Pro X (from Acrobat Pro 7).
    I need to be able to do the following to many many files every day -  with fewer than 2 mouseclicks.
    File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting and Measuring ... [confirm over wright in same folder on the shared (windows) server] ... [close document]
    Best case scenario: Adobe makes this an export option in inDesign, where it belongs.
    Next best: a "droplet" app that can enable many PDFs  at once.
    Next best: a working applescript that I can invoke from my script menu
    Next best: <sigh> an adobe Action that I can script in Acrobat
    Next best: working javascript code that someone can help me figure out how to deploy for 3 users...

    The scrolling option is now in System Preferences > Universal Access > mouse & trackpad tab > mouse options.. button > check scrolling.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended: Enable commenting in Save As-ed PDFs by default

    For Acrobat 9 Pro Extended:
    When using Save As to save a PDF, is it possible to have Commenting and Analysis enabled for that saved PDF by default?
    What I currently must do: Open the PDF, choose Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader, at which point Acrobat 9 Pro Extended prompts me to save the file.
    What I would like to do: Have Save As automatically enable commenting & analysis by default.
    I can't find any controls for that, so suspect it's a manual process each time...(?)
    Note, too, that this question was asked for Acrobat 8 Pro but went unanswered, which further leads me to believe enabling comments may well be a one-by-each process. Sigh...

  • 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.

  • Enabling comments and markups by default.

    My orginization uses Adobe Distiller, watching a shared netowrk location to automatically convert .prn files to PDF.  I am trying to find a way to make it to that these files BY DEFAULT have comments and markups enabled.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Is it even possible?
    Thank you

    If you're asking about enabling commenting in Reader, the answer is no. You can use Adobe's LiveCycle Reader Extensions server-based product to add usage rights to a batch of documents, at a price.

  • Is enable commenting grayed out in trial version?

    I have a trial version of Acrobat X Pro, and
    Save as > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting and Measuring
    is grayed out and not functional.
    The trial says that it's a fully-functional version, so it's possibly something else. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the idea, it looks like this particular PDF is secured with a password, so that must be why. If I open another PDF I can get the enable comments menu item to work.
    I wonder if there's an easy way to put the content of the PDF into a non-protected PDF?
    I seem to have other "save as" options, maybe a round-trip to RTF or HTML, then convert to PDF?
