Enable for Commenting and Create Links from URL (JS, Acrobat Pro)

I need to change a PDF's settings to Enable for Commenting and Annotation and then Create Links from the document's URLs. I can do it manually, but I don't see where these properties can be adjusted with Javascript.
Please help!

Regarding converting URL's to real links, this script (created by me) can do
that:

Acrobat 9 Std - Comments- 'Enable for Commenting And Analysis In Reader' option Missing

Hi,
We've purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, and need to enable comments in Reader for PDFs that we create in Acrobat. The option to "Enable For Commenting And Analysis In Reader" seems to be missing from the "comments" menu, even though all the videos/tutorials insist it's there.
I haven't found any threads about this yet, and searched google for the missing option + "missing" along with other things. Nothing related came up.
Any ideas on what we could try? Or why this is happening?
Thanks!

I don't think Standard has this option. Acrobat Pro does.
This page confirms it: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html

Editing "Create links from URLs"

My document has Preferences | General | "Create links from URLs" enabled. But when I hovver the cursor over the link, it is incorrect, with a trailing space character, showing as http://www.example.com/webaddress/20 (it should not have the trailing 20).
I've tried using the Text Touch Up tool, but there is no trailing space in the text, and if I try and delete the last few characters, and retype them, then the Web address shows squares where I change the chacters, eg. http://www.example.com/webadd⃞⃞⃞⃞⃞⃞
How can I edit the automatically generated web address?

How can I edit the automatically generated web address?
You can't.
With the link tool you can add a link with the correct address.

Create links from URLs

Hello ! i really hope someone can help me here.
part of my job is to put magazines online. To do that, i work with all the pages combined together in one document (booklet).
Then i click on Advanced ==> Create Links from URLs...
Acrobat will locate, for me, all the wed addresses in all the pages of my document. It will find the "www." and pickup the rest to create the weblink.
once this is done, i have to go through all the pages and create the links for the addresses that Acrobat DIDN'T find. The ones that doesn't start with "www."
•• The problem is that in most ads, the clients don't put the "www." anymore, so this is a lot of work for me, since i do this for 40 different magazines, and sometimes has 300 pages !
i am looking for a way for Acrobat to "recognize" the addresses that ENDS with ".com" or ".ca"...
...so it would make my life easier : )
thank you, in advance, for your help : )
(i also speak french)

I think you are going about the process backwards. The links should be placed into the document in the software used to create the original content. If the content was created in InDesign (for example) it is easy to put the links into the ID file, then you can export the pdf with links intact. Then you can use Adobe's advanced search capabilities to search for "www.", ".com", ".ca" and even ".mil". It might be possible to create a plug-in to do what you want, but assuming you are not a programmer, that would cost $.

"Create links from URLs" preference no longer working in sticky notes

I work with reading other people's sticky notes in Adobe Acrobat X Pro (now version 10.1.1). When they wrote URLs in the sticky notes it used to recognize them as links; now they're just plain text. My Preferences > General > "Create links from URLs" option is checked ON. I aso tried View > Tools > Document Processing > "create Links from URLs" and it added two links but only outside of the sticky notes. I am on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Thanks.

AFAIK, URLs inside annotations were never converted into actual links. I'm not even sure it's technically possible to do so.
It might have happened if the annotations were flattened and the text in them became a part of the static text of the PDF. Then the URLs in it could have been converted into "live" links, but not before.

"Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader

Hi all,
Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended has a feature to enable measurements and comments in a file when that file is then subsequently opened in Reader.
It is in Acrobat Pro Extended under Comments -> Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader
My question is, if I convert large batches of files to PDF, how can I enable measurements and comments for Adobe Reader without opening each file and selecting that option from Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended?
Thanks for any info,
Jesse Perry

Try the Batch Process feature in Acrobat Pro Extended. You'll still have to do it after the files are converted, but it may keep you from having to set that feature one PDF at a time. Go to Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing...
This 'might' be able to do what you need.

Batch file enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader

I have over 18000 GeoPDFs created and want to enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader. Can anyone step me through how to set this up in Adobe LiveCycle?

To enable the Commenting in Adobe Reader you can either use Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extentions.
But, in Acrobat (even in Acrobat X) you cannot enable those Usage Rights via batch.
This means you will have to do this for each file separately.
Attention: The commenting will only be enabled for static forms (PDF-forms), not for dynamic forms (XFA-forms)!
Possible the LiveCycle Reader Extentions can do that, but this product is very, very expensive and I don't have it.

How to disable - General preference - Create links from URLs. Using Acrobat Javascript

http:\\www.sdss.com should not be suggested as a link. We have manual option to uncheck -> Create links from URLs, but I need to achieve this through the script.
Please help on this ASAP.

That is an end user preference only. Not accessible by JavaScript. If you control the installation, then you can turn off that option for the installation but the user could still turn it back on.

Cannot creat pdf from Powerpoint using Acrobat Pro X

I cannot create pdf files from Powerpoint 2010 using Acrobat Pro X. I am using Windows 7 32-bit. There are no updates for my Acrobat Pro X and so the PDFMaker is up to date. When trying to save to a pdf, the program will crash. The problem signature from Powerpoint states that the problem name is "APPCRASH" and that the fault module named MPS.dll. HELP!

Here's a slightly better version.

set numURLs to (count urllist)

Creating PDF from scanner with Acrobat Pro 10

Hello, I'm trying to scan a document into pdf using acrobat pro 10. Whatever selection I make I always get the dialog message "scanning cancelled"! Does anybody have a clue what is going on here.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits.
I also have multiple scanning devices available but it makes no difference which one I select.

Use the software that came with the scanner, save as TIF, then use Acrobat to convert the TIF to PDF

Can't reliably create a PDF enabled for commenting in Reader

I've hit a brick wall trying to find out why my Acrobat Pro 7.0.8 is broken. As of yesterday, I cannot reliably create a PDF that is enabled for commenting in Reader. I get an error message: "You do not have permission to write to this file." However, this message is halfway false Acrobat does indeed create a PDF where I tell it to. It's just not a reviewable file, which you can tell when you re-open it and see the special dialog box that first pops in front of you, and there's a key/starburst icon in the lower left corner of the Acrobat window. So the resulting output file isn't really enabled, and I've made no progress.
All I know is that before May 1st, this Acrobat Pro feature worked flawlessly every time I used it.
I tested my own file on two other co-workers' PCs and they also cannot save my file as enabled for commenting. One of them has Acro. Pro 7.0.5 and the other one has Pro 7.0.9. Nor can they save other PDF files as enabled for commenting. But creating a short (one-line) PDF from Word or WordPad DOES work, and I can save that file as enabled for commenting.
I tested a few of my existing PDFs: some of them can be output to the reviewable format without any problem, but some of the more recent ones I can't especially if they're larger. Even a Word file as small as 9 pages will not convert. I tried both printing it to the Adobe PDF printer as well as using PDFMaker. Neither one works on this file. But I was able to create reviewable PDFs from simple Word files and some older (April 2008 or earlier) Word files that were longer.
I think some incompatibility happened because of the Windows updates that get silently shoved to our PCs every Tuesday (I work for a large company). But I could be wrong to blame Microsoft.
Would the new Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 update fix this problem?
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3948
My system: Windows XP, Svc. Pack 2, Word 2003.

After I removed the comma in the filenames of my problematic test files, this solution worked for me, too. I was able to again save the PDFs as enabled for commenting in Adobe Reader (to make them reviewable).
Thank you, thank you!
This definitely looks like a bug to me, because a comma IS allowed in filenames in both the PC Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

Enable Reader Rights for Commenting and Markup in Acrobat X Pro?

I am sure there is a nice long thread somewhere on this but I cannot find the old "Enable for Commenting and Review" in Acrobat X Pro (Windows 7, 32 bit). I get basic comments (sticky and highlight) but i need to make a PDF where my Reader X users can make all the comments and markups. I also tried doing the Send for Review task and it still did not have all the tools in Reader X.

Is it possible to generate PDF with "enable for commenting" from AI?

I am using Illustrator CS5 and have Acrobat 9 Pro on a Mac. I would like to generate PDF's with "enabled for commenting" feature on.
I was able generate a PDF from CS5 -> open it in Acrobat 9 Pro -> enable commenting -> Save as new PDF
I prefer to skip the above mannual step and generate the PDF with commenting enabled directly from Illustrator. Any ideas?

Acrobat 9 Pro doesn't support batch processing to "enable for commenting" feature. I can batch generate the PDFs from AI but will have to manually convert each PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro....(sucks!!!)
Another option is that I get a Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows - install LiveCycle - tranfer my AI generated PDFs (mac) to windows and use batch processing feature of LiveCycle to convert the PDFs into "enable for commenting" (sucks less!!!)
I would love to hear any other option available.

Sharepoint 2013: Problem / Error when creating Variation Hierarchy for French and German Languages from Variation root EN

Hi,
I have a website with English and Arabic Language Packs installed. I have the corresponding Variation heirachies created and the whole site collection is published.
Recently the client asked for french and german languages to be accomodated as well. So I followed the same approach I did for English and arabic (installed the language packs) for foundation, ran ocnfiguration wizard, installed server language pack &
ran configuration wizard.
But after creating the variation label, when i try to create the variation heirarchy, I am getting the following error.
"Unknown failure when creating a variation of page http://server:port/en/pages/default.aspx in label /fr/Pages/default.aspx.
The Variations Create Hierarchies job failed with the following error message& Unknown failure when creating a variation of site
http://server:port/en in label fr."
Am not sure what is going wrong. Appreciate a feedback.
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you created the Variation Hierarchy for French and German Languages from Variation root EN.
I recommend to check the Resources folder located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15 to see if the file core.fr-FR.resx exists in the folder.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:
