Enable commenting on PDF produced from RSTXPDFT4

Hi experts,
In our business , we are using program RSTXPDFT4 to convert an ABAP spool list into PDF. Now, there is a request for the ability to put comments onto the PDF file (see attached "Insert comments.jpg"). We found that we are unable to do so with our current version of Adobe Reader 9.
However, a user with Adobe Acrobat Pro will be able to save the PDF with "Reader Extended PDF -> Enable Commenting and Measuring" (see attached "Adobe Acrobat Pro.jpg"). When this is done, we can then open the PDF file using Acrobat Reader 9 and add in comments.
Here is the question - is there a way to convert a spool into PDF with the "Reader Extended PDF" properties from SAP, so that it is immediately ready for commenting?
Regards,
Sui

I don't think so.
Adobe Acrobat may have to save the pdf in higher version whose specification has the said feature.
Most pdf writers create pdf with version 1.4, which is lower than latest format, but good enough.

Enable 'comments' on pdfs printed from within osx

Hello there...
We have osx 10.4 on our network at school (soon all machines will be running 10.4.10).
I want to get the kids into printing their work to pdf rather than paper and saving these in their folders.
What I want to do is enable the 'comments' secion of the pdf so the teacher can comment on/grade the work and this can be saved with the pdf.
Is there a way of enabling this? It would be very useful!
Faliling this, is there any other way of attaching comments to a document such as a pdf or jpg?
cheers
Steve

I am not certain exactly what you want, but if you open a pdf file in Preview, and click on the pencil tool, you can attach a comment and save the file with that. Just use the tool to make a box wherever you want it on the document.
Other tools are available in complete versions of Acrobat.

How to enable commenting into pdf files using java?

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.

How to enable commenting in PDF?

Using RH9. Generating a PDF for review from WebHelp. RH shows me the Create PDF for review dialog box but the Enable commenting in Adobe Reader option is dimmed. How can I activate this feature?

Hi there
Just a comment and observation here on a couple of things.
Sure, it's Adobe's sandbox and they are free to do what they like with their products. However, they do tend to listen to customers in order to decide which features to add, remove or enhance. And if they hear from several different customers, they pay more attention. You get their ear by completing a Wish Form/Bug Report. These are always read by the product teams.
Soooo, you (and any others reading this that feel this way) should please submit a Wish Form to advise Adobe that you want to see these "suite only" features work with the stand alone versions of the product. But here's the kicker. The features should only work if you have the other required Adobe software. What I mean by this is that many folks purchase Acrobat separately and RoboHelp separately as individual items. It seems ridiculous to me (as I'm sure it does to you) that if you have both pieces of the required software, that a feature requiring both would also require a "special version" of both so they are now integrated. It forces the customers into making an additional purchase and duplicating software just to get a feature working.
And your comment about Ankur? Well, completing that Wish Form (link is in my sig) will put your comment in front of his eyes. Really it will! Posting here probably won't do it. It's like shouting at the wind and hoping the president hears it. Completing the Wish Form is like making a direct telephone call to the president's answering machine.
Cheers... Rick

Issue with Czech characters in PDFs generated from RSTXPDFT4

Hi,
We have a requirement to generate PDF documents from the spool of the Billing document outputs in our project.
For this we are using the standard program RSTXPDFT4, which converts the SAP script OTF to PDF format.
But the Czech characters in the billing document output are not getting displayed in the PDF generated out of it.
We are already using a device type I2HP4 when creating the print request , which supports Latin-2 Character set ( ISO 8859-2 ), to which the special characters
of East European languages belong.
Even then , the czech characters are not getting displayed in the PDF generated.
We have raised a message to SAP for this, and SAP informed us that currently the only solution to this is to use Latin 2 soft fonts,
and to upload these soft fonts into R/3 System using report RSTXPDF2 as they contain the Eastern European special characters plus all the other characters in ISO 8859-2.
But, since character font definitions (font files) are protected by copyrights, SAP informed us that they cannot provide these font files and we have to acquire
these latin-2 font files by searching in search engines in the internet.
If anyone has the information where we can get these "Adobe type 1 Latin-2" font files with '.PFB' extension, for the proper display of Czech characters, please let me know.

Hi,
Did you or anyone manage to find a reasonable solution for this issue?
I'm currently facing something similar but with Polish characters instead.
I tried using RSTXPDF2 to upload .PFB and .TTF files but to no avail.

Enabling Comments for PDF and Acrobat Reader

Hello,
We work with remote reviewers and oftentimes we have to enable our PDFs for commenting, since they only have Acrobat Reader. We then get the files back from our remote reviewers, review their suggestions, and then send them the PDFs back. The only main issue is that we HAVE to enable the PDFs for commenting EVERY time. Is there a better way?
Thanks,

Activate OCR and Enable Comment in PDF document On an Unix platform

Hi every Body,
I have an amount of PDF document stored on an unix server, and i want to anable "Add comment" feature for all of those documents, so that i can
open every document by Adobe Reader and add comments; sticky, underline....etc. This feature is Avalabe in Acrobat Reader Pro 9 i test it
it work fine, but i need to do same thing in commande line, i mean install a library or something else and i can do this operation by taping a command on shell terminal.
The same problème with te OCR feature.
Thanks for you help

Hi,
Unless you use Acrobat 8 Pro's Formatted Text & Graphics" or Acrobat 9 Pro's ClearScan you will find that there is no
practicable means of editing the OCR "hidden text" in a PDF.
The TouchUp text tool (Advanced Editing toolbar) is reliant upon the selected text having an available system font to use during touchup. However, both Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) OCR output is of text rendering mode 3 (invisible text) that is provided from within Acrobat and not any installed system or other application installed font.
With Searchable Image (Exact) you have the untouched image augmented by the invisible text which is provided as a user aid for search or find with Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The invisible text is not intended to support word processor like editing.
To your questions:
#1. There is no practicable way to edit invisible text (text rendering mode 3) with Acrobat (any past or current release).
#2. None.
#3. A good question. Perhaps a specialty program. Keep in mind, many products provide a promise but those those that actually deliver tend to be expensive.
Something to play with. Using Acrobat 9 Pro or Pro Extended, try the Preflight Fixup to embed hidden text.
Then try using the TouchUp Text tool. You may also want to see if you can change the font type of this newly embedded font.
(use copies of the "real" files - just in case <g>).
Be well...

Commenting in pdf exported from IDCS4

Seems like I remember something about now IDCS4 allows exported pdfs to be commented and then have the edits imported back into InDesign OR did I dream that?
We have two people who will be marking up the pdf document exported from IDCS4. Then most of the edits will go back to the authors who have Acrobat 8.0 or Reader. Some of the edits will come back to the InDesign person to make the changes. He will get those changes in Word and pdf commenting.
Is there an efficient method to make these changes?

I don't think there is any integration like that with PDFs, the markups would have to be done by hand.
You would have to -
Use Incopy
Export the Text as RTF and let them go at it in Word
Use 3rd party software http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/indesign-downloads/storytweaker/
Or something else

Stictching effect on images in PDF produced from InDesign

Hey there
Requested I posted this in here over the Adobe PDF forum..
I have been supplied a PDF file created from Indesign (I do not know which version or what settings have been used, I suspect CS3 or 4, it has been made to PDF version 1.6 with jpeg2000 compression), I am preparing for online use through a third party supplier who is using ICE (a shareware product) which seems to be having problems rendering the images in the PDF file.
The images seem to have been broken up into small parts (ie rectangles and squares) - How do I stop the images from being stitched into parts and retain them in the PDF as one complete image, and is there a way to 'stitch' the images back together once this has happened and is present in the PDF?
I suspect when using the Jpeg2000 compression it allows you to control the 'tiles' setting, is this where the multiple parts of the same image have come from. I have tried to replicate the problem using images of various sizes (dimensions and mb's) but they all come out in the PDF file as 1 image and not multiple parts.
Thanks
Noel

It is always possible to determine which version of InDesign the PDF file was exported from by checking its attributes in Acrobat via Ctrl-D.
When an image gets chopped up in a PDF file, it is likely due to its interaction with transparency and therefore is involved with flattening. If you get a version of the PDF file created with live transparency as opposed to flattened transparency, such fragmenting of images is unlikely to occur.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi fassettj,
Enabling comments on PDFs created with your PIXMA MG3100 is not supported using the software bundled with your printer. For these features, it is recommended that more full featured PDF creation software is used, such as Adobe Acrobat. For more information, please use the following link:

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.

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?

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...

No.

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.
