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 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 How odd that the help file was out-of-date with my version of Acrobat.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!

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?

Why can't I password-protect a PDF that's been Enabled for Commenting in Acrobat Reader?

What is the point of not being able to password-protect a PDF you have enabled Commenting in for Acrobat Reader users?
We are testing out the option of using the "commented" PDF from the user's end (who just has Acrobat Reader). These PDFs we'll be sending are highly sensitive and need to be password-protected.
We're using Acrobat Pro 9 from CS4, on new Intel iMacs running the latest updated Leopard.
Help?

You need to passsword protect the file before enabling commenting in
Reader. Just don't save in between the two steps.

Cost for Enabling Plug-in for Acrobat Reader

Hi,
I read the developer note and noticed if I want to enable my plug-in for Acrobat Reader I need "Visit the Adobe web site and fill out an Adobe Reader Integration Key License Agreement."
I heard the cost is 100 US dollars per license. I am a bit confuse with it. The cost is $100 for each plug-in no matter how many copies I distributed in company. Or $100 for each computer I want to install my plug-in?

Hello,
my question is also related to the integration of our plugin into Acrobat Reader.
I fulfilled the application form for the Reader Integration Key License Agreement and I sent an email to [email protected] but I received an error that is the email account doesn't exist.
I didn't manage to find a valid account where I can send the form.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards.

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).

Shared Review End Review, Deadline not working in Acrobat Pro 9 for Acrobat Reader 8 reviewers

I am testing the features of PDF Shared Reviews on a network server using Acrobat Pro 9 with reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8.1. (All are Windows users.) After initiating the review via the Tracker and having no problem getting the reviewers to comment and publish, I select End Review in the Tracker. Acrobat Pro 9 registers this action and shows that the review has ended in the yellow bar at the top of the PDF and in the Tracker. However, all the reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8 can continue to comment, publish their comments, and the comments continue to show up in the PDF posted in the network folder. That PDF file continues to say, when opened in Acrobat Pro 9 by the initiator, that it is closed for reviewing. The comments published after the review has ended continue to show up. This is true minutes, hours, and days after the review has been ended so is not a synch problem.
I cannot add comments to this PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 because Acroat Pro registers the end of the review. I can open this file in Acrobat Reader 8 on my computer and continue to add comments. This same problem exists after the deadline set initially has passed. Acrobat Reader 8 users are always able to comment and publish comments when the review should have been ended for them.
How do I get the reviews to end for Acrobat Reader 8 users?
Thanks.
Mary-Nell

Those users will have to upgrade to Reader 9 to get the deadlines working

Disabling/Re-enabling Adobe's Acrobat Reader Plug-in

Hi there
I was forced to install Adobe's Acrobat Reader Plug-in in order to view and download my bank statements. However, I would like to use Safari's default PDF viewer plug-in when browsing other than my bank's website.
Is there any way to disable and re-enable the Adobe Acrobat Reader (Plug-in) without having to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue with 9.0.0 -- option to disable from Reader's "Internet" options was grayed out.
This is a side-effect (feature?) of how Adobe installs the plug-in at the System level
/HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
instead of at the User level
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
I switched to an Admin account, launched Reader, and the option was not grayed out. I deselected it then quit and switched back to my user account.
When I launched Reader in my user account and opened preferences, then selected Internet, the option was still grayed out but now the "feature" was disabled.
So, Adobe has decided that individual users don't merit control over their own plug-in preference. It's the admin's choice and that dictates for all users on the system.
Like you, there are only a few situations where I am forced to use Adobe Reader -- certain medical, insurance, or financial forms that don't render or transmit accurately when using Preview.
Drives me nuts -- those are exactly the kind of forms I want to save as PDF to disk when completed -- and Adobe explicitly prevents saving as PDF. I can transmit the completed form to the provider, or I can save a blank form, but I cannot save a PDF of the completed form. Like chewing on soap by the time I'm finished...
Anyhow, hope that sorts it out for you.

I need the proper settings for Acrobate Reader 9.3 to be backward compatable to open PDF 6.0.

I have a full license for Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. I just got off the phone with Acrobat technical support about once you install Acrobat Reader 9 to read documents online using Internet Explorer and Firefox. That it would make documents that were scanned in with CapturePerfect3.0 and a Cannon document scanner using Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 saved in PDF format and stored as images with records stored with Access Database front-end and SQL Server backend. Simple 6.0 PDF documents stored scanned documents in a database. O.K.! The problem is once you upgrade to read newer version of Acrobat PDF documents that our staff must read online, it makes reading saved database 6.0 PDF documents unreadable. Technical support informs me that it is a settings fix in Acrobat Reader 9 but because the Acrobat Reader 9 is a free download that can't tell me how to fix the settings.
So here I am trying to find out the proper settings in Acrobat Reader 9 to read new Acrobat documents online and old 6.0 Acrobat PDF documents on Windows XP Pro workstations and one Windows 7 workstation of the CEO's assistant. So please help me with the proper setting for Acrobat Reader 9 to work online reading newer PDF documents and still read Acrobat 6.0 documents stored in a database.

Adobe Reader 9 can open old and new pdf files.

What I need to write plug-in for Acrobat Reader ?

Hi There,
I want to write plugin for Acrobat Reader, that's mean I need visual studio or is enough just to have some c compiler ?
One more things. I find out I can use a javascript code do hide toolbar menu and menu item and I founded some inforation that is not possible use that way to disable context menu on right click mouse button. Is that correct ?
Best regards,
grynien

Look at the documentation:

Look at 'Developing for Adobe Reader' in 'Introduction to SDK'.

I NEED MULTIPLE SYSTEM LICENSE FOR ACROBAT READER PRO. HOW CAN I BUY. HOW MUCH FOR THAT

I NEED A MULTIPLE PC LICENSE FOR ACROBAT READER PRO. HOW CAN BUY. HOW MUCH FOR THAT.

Reader is free. If you want multiple licenses for Acrobat, you have to discuss this with Acrobat. The Adobe Store gives pricing for up to 9 licenses. Volume license require talking to Adobe, not other users.

Special Standard printer only for acrobat reader, is this possible? Registry Hack

In my networking earea are a lot of printers also a big toshiba copying mashine.
While printing a pdf file to it with an PCL6 printer driver it takes a lot of time to print this.
When i take a Postscript driver it runs faster ...
so when my users will print pdf's it is difficult to explain them how to print ... an own standard printer for acrobat reader would solve this problem.
Does anyone have a solution? is there some registry hack?
regards 2CV6

In Windows (don't know if this is the case on Mac) in a corporate environment where you are connected to printers via verbose network paths, you can't see the entire path. The "printer name" gets truncated. Since the name of the printer is at the right end of the path, you can't see which printer is which.
It would be handy if they had a function that allowed you to scroll to the right of the printer list and/or throw up a tool tip that gives the entire path. I'm surprised this hasn't been flagged as a pretty significant issue.

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

OLE Automation for Acrobat Reader

Hello guys
I have been reading some lines about OLE Automation for Acrobat READER and Full Acrobat.
So far I have seen most saying that Reader is not fully compliant with OLE. I really have zero experience with Adobe and before I buy a full acrobat license, I want to make sure of the following:
What I need to do is the next 4 simple calls:
Connect to Acrobat
Open a pdf file in invisible mode
Perform "Select All"
Copy Selection to clipboard
After that, I will importclipboard to my datawindow and I will be done for my programming task.
Have you had similar experiences about Acrobat OLE for PDF ?
some references are in help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp
Thanks so much in advance for any hint.
Regards

Hello again
Chris, thanks so much for your very quick response.
At a first glance, the PDF Toolkit looks good and with a good price too, but I did not see if I can call functionality from PowerBuilder code without opening a user interface. Are you familiar with this ?
Stuart, very nice approach for my need, but I apologize for not explaining clearly what I want.
I just want to process the content of some lines in the file to find specific strings.
As you may see, if you open the file with Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat and go to the edit menu, by clicking "Select All" and "Copy" you will get the text ready for pasting.
I want to automate this process to prevent the users from opening the Adobe application.
I'm now testing with the functions provided by Adobe documentation to perform OLE Automation and ALMOST gave me what I need with the following code:
Documentation is found in
http://help.adobe.com/livedocs/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?&accessible=true
// Start Code
boolean lb
oleobject luo_app, luo_file
luo_app = create oleobject
luo_app.connecttonewobject('AcroExch.app')
luo_file = create oleobject
luo_file.connecttonewobject('AcroExch.AvDoc')
luo_file.open('c:\some_file.pdf')
// Next three lines are for visual debugging and confirming that file is opening well during testing of code :=)
luo_file.show()
luo_file.bringtofront()
luo_file.setviewmode(1)
// Next two lines return FALSE, meaning they did not execute because the words "Select All" (or "SelectAll") and "Copy" are not the right words linked to the
// menu items
lb = luo_app.menuitemexecute('Select All') // Neither "SelectAll"
lb = luo_app.menuitemexecute('Copy')
// End of code
Everything works fine except the two lines. The Adobe application is open and the file shown, but when calling "Select All" and "Copy" in the function menuitemexecute, Adobe does not interpret these phrases.
Just to confirm that menuitemexecute has the right syntax, I tested a call for luo_app.menuitemexecute("find") and this command is well interpreted by Adobe, which immediately opens the find window at the right corner of the file
I hope not to be too dense with this explanation ( but maybe I was ) :=)
Thanks for your feedback
