  • 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 can I change the font size of an outgoing instant message using Applescript?

    Text copied into Messages.app from a web page is often too small to read. Is there a quick way to boost the font size using Applescript?

    HI,
    I have spent some time looking at the Mix Message Case.scpt in Hard Drive/Library/Scripts/Messages and also Crazy Message Text.scpt in the same Scripts Folder but then the Mail one.
    Both are Apple versions.
    The Mix Case one is set in Messages > Preferences > Alerts
    Set the top drop down to Sent Message
    Enable the Applescript items and chose the Mix Case item.
    It will look something like this in the current Font and size you have set.
    ThEn aGaIn
    Obviously you don't want all the bit to make the font change between upper an lower case but it does have the option to use it with the Sent Message and it also uses the entry in the text field as a String.
    The Mail Crazy Message one  opens a dialogue box when run.
    it has a default phase and some Upper and lower limits to the size that will be used.
    the Dialogue allows you to change the phrase and also "Set Prefs" to altert the font sizes.
    The result is a text palce in a new Mail items and the font and size changes to look like this:-
    Picture
    It will look different everytime and the Font for each character  and the size of each is randomised.
    Although I have tried sticking in a line to change the size to anything other then my set font in the Mixed Case one I can't get it to work.
    In some cases I get an Script error in Messages  (It seems to think I am setting a Font called "10")
    At other times it just says it can't set it buit still does the Mixed Case bit.
    My hope was to change the size and then reduce the requirement for the "intercaps" routine.
    I have other emails about new posts so I will anwser them and then spend some more time on this.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Cannot Enable Commenting/Annotations Tools

    I want to enable the use of Commenting/Annotations tools in Reader by setting up a shared review via Acrobat 10 Standard.  From what I've read it seems that I should be able to do this by simply using the Shared Review wizard, however the PDF it generates only has the Sticky and Highlighter tools available in Reader.
    I've read many different discussions on this issue, which tend to say things like "well you have to enable commenting through Acrobat"... and I get that, but my quesiton is how to do so.  I've also seen step by step instructions such as "go to 'File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting and Mesuring'..." which I've attempted but I only have 'F > SA > REPDF > Enable Forms Fill-In & Save in Reader' as an option.
    Perhaps this has something to do with Acrobat 10 Standard (i.e. not Pro)?
    So please contribute an answer if you know the solution to my problem
    Thank You!

    In Adobe v.7.1.0, Standard Version, the Comments menu does not have the
    "Enable for Commenting" option.
    Please see attached.
    Is it only in Adobe Acrobat, v.8.0, that the Enable for Commenting
    option exists to allow your reviewers who only have Reader to add
    comments to the PDF document that you distribute?

  • 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 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.

  • Acrobat standard 9.0 error while enabling commets option using Java script object

    I'm using the below java script code in my VB 6.0 application for enabling commets options in the PDF file
    Dim oJSO As Object
    Set oJSO = mPDDoc.GetJSObject
    oJSO.Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True
    It is working fine till Acrobat 8.0. Now I'm trying with Acrobat 9.0 standard edition, it is throwing scripting error 'An unhandled Win32 exception occured in Acrobat.exe[308].
    Can anyone suggest the way to enable 'comment' options in Acrobat Standard 9.0 using Java Script Object?
    Thanks

    I get much the same problem with VB6, Acrobat 9 Pro and WinXP SP3. When I single step the line:
    oJSO.Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True
    in debug I go to the error handler for my Sub. Inspecting the VB Err object has Number = -2147417851 and Description = "Automation error
    The server threw an exception." I get a Microsoft crash notice about Acrobat a short while later.
    I've experimented with the JavaScript debugger in Acrobat and you can execute Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True and reference the value of Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab in the console. The problem appears only when accessing Acrobat Javascript through the Interapplication Communication API.
    If anyone can help it would be appreciated. I tried Adobe's Acrobat support and they were no help at all.
