Executing item in "extended/comment pane" for Reader X - javascript

Is it possible to execute an item in the extended/comment pane via javascript? Those options show for extended forms and Reader X users...just trying to figure a way to execute or show those items via javascript. Thanks

After getting a list via app.execMenuItem I am getting an anomoly...I open Adobe Acrobat Pro X and execute the menu item javascript, it returns a large "basic" list, however when I manually browse to VIEW > COMMENT > ANNOTATIONS then run the app.execMenuItem javascript again the list changes a bit, an added entry "Comment_Annotations" appears. I run that via javascript and the comments pane appears...NICE but this does not work without first manually activating the function..
Any thoughts on this? Why does the menu item list grow when manually visiting VIEW ......
app.execMenuItem ("Comment_Annotations"); any idea on getting this to work with some other "activating" javascript?

Crash when opening tools or comments pane.

I have a mac OS X 10.8.3 and adobe reader 11.0.02 and when I open a file and try to use the tools or comments pane, Adobe Reader crashes!
Any solution?

photocompany,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error-occurred-pdf2dtp-fi le-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

"open for read error" message

A recent firmware update (2.1 for MAcBooks) caused many of us to lose use of our superdrives. Someone figured out a fix that involved "flashing" the drive by running a program he wrote from Terminal. It worked for quite a few people but when I tried to run it instead of executing the program the message "open for read error" was returned. The command was "./simple_flash 0 UJ857-KBVB-MBP-rpc1.dat" which was supposed to start the simple_flash executible which referred to or used the .dat file.
Does anyone know what the "open for read error" is telling me? How can I resolve whatever it is that is preventing execution.
Thanks very much. Many are buying new superdrives to solve this problem but that is expensive.

I would say to take your machine into an Apple Store, but judging by your profile, I think that might not be feasible.
Where are you running this from? I downloaded it and looked at the source and that error just means that it can't open the dat file. Actually, it means that it can't even find the dat file. In the Terminal, you must use "cd" to move to the directory where the "simple_flash" executable and the .dat file are located. Do an "ls" and, if they are both listed, it should work.

This item cannot be displayed in the reading pane

Hello all. I've bene scowering the net trying to find a solution to this problem for over a month now and every solution I have found doesn't work. Here's the low down.
It only happens on this client and not other outlook clients. Meaning the same person could open his email on another system and the views are fine. OWA is also fine. I'm pretty confident its not Exchange but Outlook on this system. I get
two messages.
When receiving emails from a specific address that sends emails with audio attachements (shoretel's voicemail to email) the user gets "this item cannot be displayed in the reading pane" There is no active content in these emails. They are plain
text. Next, when he sends a meeting invite to a specific person or receives an email from a specific person he gets "This item contains active content that cannot be displayed in the Reading Pane". Here's what I've done so far.
I've deleted and reinstalled Outlook 2010 (pro plus)
I've deleted his profile and rebuilt it. I've deleted the profile from the registry and reinstalled outlook 2010.
I've disabled all pluggins.
I've cleared the forms cache and made sure the forms view matches someones that's working.
and of course, rebooted. I've found fixes for different versions of outlook but nothing I have found has worked. Short of backing up to PST, nuking his mailbox, rebuilding it, and importing the PST i'm at a loss. I don't think I need to
get that drastic if on another machine and on OWA it works fine. Anyone have a clue as to what I could try?

Hi This is what worked for me:
Just to clarify in my case, any email that had a form attached, when I tried to open it, the actual email body was just blank.
I also realised I couldn't create new forms, I could see all the preloaded ones but couldn't open.
So this is the advise I followed:
Clearing the forms cache
The first thing you should try is clearing the forms cache. This will make sure that, in the case of using a custom form, the latest published version of your custom forms gets loaded again. In the case that you just uninstalled an application that was using
a custom form, it will purge this cached form and Outlook will try to load the original message form.
To clear the cache;
Outlook 2007 and previous
Tools-> Options…-> tab Other-> button Advanced Options…-> button Custom Forms…-> button Manage Forms…-> button Clear Cache
Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013
File-> section Options-> section Advanced-> group Developers-> button Custom Forms…-> button Manage Forms…-> button Clear Cache
It worked when I went back to previous email the attachment looked like it had gone, double clicked and it took a while to open as it needed to load new forms.
Do this before rebuilding or deleting a mailbox. Also try SP2 if need be.

Extending features for Reader

A previous thread noted that, to enable security-related settings (including commenting) in Reader for an Acrobat-generated PDF, you have to select Extend features in Adober Reader from the Advanced menu. Does any one know if there's a setting in Acrobat (9 Pro Extended, v.9.2) to make the feature extension the default property?

Opening Reader 11 with Comment Pane open on the right.

Hi,
I would like to set my Reader in a way that for any PDF that I open it opens the Comment Pane on the right to be displayed... Right now it opens with the Tools pane open on the right... I looked over Preferance, Properties, views all over and I could not find anything that pinpoints how to set the view to the way I want the PDF opens when I open one...

This item cannot be displayed in the Reading Pane. Open the item to read its contents Outlook 2013

One of Outlook 2013 of Office Home and Business in Windows 7 Pro 64bit who is connecting to a local Exchange 2010 server is having the following error:
This item cannot be displayed in the Reading Pane. Open the item to read its contents.
When launching Outlook, it seems work fine. If user click other folders and click Inbox again. The error comes out. It only happens on Inbox folder.
I have tried the followings with no luck.
1. Rebuilt new Outlook profile.
2. Rebuilt new Windows profile + Outlook profile.
3. Disabled all add-ins.
There are 2 ways I can make it work.
1. I disabled "Cache Mode", then it starts working well.
2. Start Outlook with outlook.com /safe.
So the question is why in Cache mode, Outlook 2013 cannot display the item in reading pane.
Any hint will be appreciated.
CliffZ

CliffZ,
One hint: Do an offline virus scan on the affected computer:
1. Check if your computer has a 32- or a 64-bit system. Right-click on Computer icon, choose Properties. System type reveals the bitness.
2. Download the appropriate virus scanning version from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offline
Note: If you're on Windows 8.1: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-is-windows-defender-offline-beta
3. Insert a USB stick with nothing important on. Observe the drive letter (F:, G: etc ...) assigned to it.
4. Start the downloaded program and follow the instructions. Note: Choose the correct drive letter from 3 above.
5. Restart your computer so it will boot from the USB stick. Depending on computer brand you can often press F12 to get a boot menu.
Sometimes you have to enter BIOS to tell the computer to boot from USB if present.
The quick scan starts. Abort it and select Full Scan.
Let it run overnight.

How to make signature field work for reader users? Security settings change when doc is extended???

I've been struggling to correct a problem all week and am at my wits end. Customer service was no help as the person I spoke with could barely speak english let alone understand the problem as I explained it to him. Hoping someone here can provide some insight, here's the issue:
I'm using a Windows 7 Professional OS. I created a Microsoft Word doc and used Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to create a form from it. It automatically detected the fields, which includes a signature field. I went through fixed it all up how it needed to be and did "save as other - reader extended pdf - enable forms fill in & save in reader".
The document is a report that will be sent to a small number of people that have to fill it out, digitally sign and return and I'm assuming that most if not all of them will open the document using the free Adobe Reader. So I thought extending it is what I needed to do to make sure they could fill it out, save it to their computer if need be, and also sign digitally. The signature field was automatically added in by acrobat for me and I did not change the properties of it at all except to add a border.
When I open the form in Reader (also XI) I can fill out all the fields, save it... but not sign it. The security settings say signing is not allowed even though I went back to the original pdf form and the security settings on it say allowed for everything. I don't know how to fix this... please help!!!
I've attached some screen shots but can include more if needed...

I don't have the Enable More Tools option under Reader Extended PDF. I just tried to download the XI Pro trial version and it won't complete installation because of the standard version I already have. Any advice or workarounds you know of? Going to the boss for $$ to upgrade to Pro is what I'll consider my last resort if the issue is truly that I have to use Pro to enable more tools for reader.... I appreciate your reply though. I sat here all day yesterday fingers crossed that SOMEONE would give it a go!

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.

Enable Commenting for Reader not working

I create a PDF file in Acrobat 8.1 and select Enable Commenting in Reader. However, the users open the file in Reader 9 and it doesn't work. I've been able to replicate this. And no matter what I do - save the file with a different name, in a different location, whatever - it never enables commenting. However, if I check the Security for the file in Reader it says commenting is allowed. I'm at my rope's end. This is how my users provide feedback so it's a really important feature for us.
Anyone know why this is happening? This was not an issue up until recently and nothing has changed (no upgrades or anything).

Thanks for getting back. I am uploading a sample of PDF in which I enabled commenting but when I open it in Reader the commenting toolbar is not displayed but when you go to properties it says commenting is allowed. I also checked to make sure the files were not be saved as archive files (it is set to never save files as archives).
I am also uploading screenshots of the process I follow to enable comments and of the Reader properties dialog that shows commenting is allowed.

How to extend features in Acrobat Reader for Livecycle pdfs

Have a PDF I created wit
h Livecycle. I'm trying to extend features in Acrobat Reader so that the form will be fillable with acrobat reader but that option is not ena
bled? Anyone know where the magic button for this is?

I already done this three times and 'extend features in Acrobat REader' is still disabled.
I'm using Livecycle ES and Acrobat Pro 9. When I 'save as' in Livecycle my only option is 'Acrobat (static) PDF Form', and when I open the PDF document in acrobat pro I get a blue-bar that says i am viewing the document in PDF/A mode. Does any of that raise any "red flags"?

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).

Preventing Extend Features for Reader when distributing form

I am distributing a form created in LiveCycle and will have the form responses automatically tracked on an internal server. The distributed form is not sent out via email, but rather stored on the shared internal server. With Acrobat Pro 9, the distribute form function automatically extends Reader rights, which I do not want to happen with the form being stored on a shared server. The form will have secure information in it & responses are sent to a folder that will have write capabilities only.
Any info on how to prevent the extenstion of Reader rights when distributing the form is appreciated.

Something happened to the file after the time that it was Reader-enabled. It was modified in a way that invalidates the digital signature that controls whether the usage rights are valid. I seem to recall the GoLive can be configured to modify (optimize somehow?) PDFs when it uploads them, and you definately don't want this to happen for Reader-enabled documents. I don't have GoLive, so I can't check what setting it is, but you should be able to look for yourself. A workaround would be to upload via some other means, such as FTP. I'd be interested to know if this makes a difference.
