Exporting comments to pdf?

Hi, All:
First, I love, love, love Keynote 6! There is one tiny thing that I miss, however, in that my comments are no longer exported to pdf.
I do like the appearance of the comments -- they make things stand out when needed -- so is there anyway to enable this?
As long as I'm asking ... is there anyway for the comments to appear in the presentation?
Thanks,
Michael

my comments are no longer exported to pdf.
This may be something that will be on Apples very long fix list.
is there anyway for the comments to appear in the presentation?
Comments were designed for confidential notes for the presenter and not to be shown to the viewers, so they do not appear when the presentation is in play.

   2. From where i can get the API for the same ? [.Net 4.0]
Looking for your responses.
   Regards

Open a PDF having sticky note and underline annotations applied with Acrobat XI Pro (the trial release will do just fine).
Open the Comments List.
From the Options menu select "Create Comment Summary".
Because you've an interest in getting comment annotation content into a Word file select the "Comments only" layout.
Complete configuration as desired.
Click the "Create Comment Summary" button.
Save the resultant PDF.
With this PDF open in Acrobat XI Pro use the click-path:
File :: Save As Other :: Microsoft Word :: Word Document or Word 97-2003 Document

Export comments in Pages 5

When I export to PDF from a Pages 5 document, any comments I have made in the Pages document are not exported. The comments are there when exported to Word but I have them so nicely laid out in Pages! Does anyone know if Pages 5 can export comments to a PDF document?

No version of Pages v5 through v5.5.2 on Yosemite can export comments to a PDF. Tested.
Pages '09 v4.3 does export comments to PDF on Yosemite.

Expanded options for exporting comments to Excel?

The Create Comment Summary Action, available through the Actions Exchange at adobeusers.com, allows users to export comments from pdf(s) to Excel-readable CSV format: http://acrobatusers.com/actions-exchange/create-comment-summary
This is a great tool, but could be improved by grouping actions related to the same comment on single rows, rather than create a new row for each action. Does anyone have any ideas as to how this could be achieved? See example scenario below:
Comments are made in a pdf:
Create Comment Summary Action tool generates the following in Excel:
The information is accurate, but isn't very helpful for large documents with many comments because there is no way to group actions by comment and determine which have been addressed and how they were responded to. In other words, responses and actions are not linked to the original comment.
Ideally, there would be an option to export the comments to a format similar to this:
Responses and actions are on the same row as the original comment, which allows for easy sorting and comprehension. Obviously there would be additional details to think through, but is this possible?
Thanks!

I hope someone answers this since I want to do the same thing with my form data.

Can't export comments of comparison between two PDFs, receiving error about "Tagging"/Tagged PDF

Hello,
I am attempting to export comments from a PDF comparison with Adobe Acrobat Pro, and am reciving the following error:
When the PDF was created, the content in it was not Tagged. Exporting comments into a Word document will onloy work if the PDF is a tagged PDF.
To create a tagged PDF, you must select "Change Conversion Settings" from the "Adobe PDF" menu, and check the box labeled "Enable accessibility and reflow with Tagged PDF."
This option was selected on both Word documents, and the error still occurs. I was able to reproduce this error on multiple computers.
A PDF with screenshots of the work flow of the process that causes the error can be found at https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5zF1j5HnYvFRENhVWo5XzZLZnc/edit?pli=1
This is critical to my work at this point, and any assistance is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

*1- VNC – Has anyone used the version from NateTrue over EDGE? Is that usable? I basically want to use it to access a remote library reference app running on a PC*
I doubt that it will work very well.
*2 - PDF viewing – Can you view PDFs that are stored on websites or just attached to emails? Also, if the PDF has only the image of scanned text, can you still pan/zoom in?*
I don't see why not
*3 - PDF #2 – Can you search within the PDF doc you’re viewing?*
No. The iPhone does not offer search
*- MP3s - If you tap on a link to an mp3 file in the browser, will it play?*
No
*6- Podcasts – Does Safari play podcasts using any of those web-based players you see in site wuch as twit, applephoneshow, etc?*
No, all of these would rely on quicktime, which doesn't really work. The iPhone doesn't support streaming audio very well.
*7 - Contacts – I use the Palm Desktop + Treo and have my contacts in there. I don’t use outlook or other apps. Can I just export my contacts in .csv format and get them into the iPhone? Any suggestions? How about exporting/importing calendar events?*
No you cannot
*8 - Bonus question 3rd party apps – long shot, since the SDK is not out yet – Does anyone know about 3rd party apps DATA? I am really hoping that iSilo will release an iPhone version of its reader since I am a heavy user of a research library I use for my congregation activities (a modern translation of the Bible + lots of other publications) and I wonder how/if that’s going to work.*
Sorry, we cannot answer any questions about the SDK because no details have been made public as of yet.

How can I simply export comments to a single list

Thanks in advance for your help.
Does anybody know how to export the comments in acrobat as a single list (ideally to excel or word)?
Typically my workflow is to convert documents (drawings, figures, sketches, charts, text) that make up a report to PDF and send to clients for review.
A report can be very large in excess of 500 pages.
Clients mark up the compiled PDF report with their comments.
So far so good.
In addressing their comments I need to compile a list/table of the comments they have made so I can simply provide a status/commentry on how I may have addressed their comments.
This simple task has proven extremely difficult with hours on the internet looking for a solution and about 1.5 hrs with Adobe staff (who clearly did not know what they were doing as it took this time to understnd point 1 below).
Tagging to a word document does not help in that;
I operate a mac and apparently exporting comments to word function under the comments options dialogue box does not work on a mac.
The comments pertain to numerouse sources not just word.
Does anybody know how to export the comments as a single list (ideally to excel or word)?
I know how to create a comments summary then export this to word (but as the comments summary is broken up into pages I am still left with a document that is >300 pages long which is no use.
I also tried exporting the summary pdf either a a rich text format or excell which almost worked but the export apears to drop the page numbers since the page number are page headers in the export.This leaves me with a bunch of comments without any relationship back to the source.
Thanks

This can be done with a script. I sent you a PM after your previous post on this subject. Did you see it?

"Memory full." error while exporting report to PDF format - CR2008SP2

 
Hello, 
 
I am developing a C#.NET application that uses the CR2008 SP2 .NET libraries. This application performs some database updates and uses CR2008 SP2 to run 7 different reports and export the results to PDF files. This application is a console application that only uses Crystal to export the rendered reports - it does not use previews or printing. 
 
The specific pattern of this application is as follows: 
 
- perform some database updates 
- render report #1 and export it as a PDF file 
- perform some database updates 
- render report #2 and export it as a PDF file 
... pattern repeats to report #7 ... 
 
This application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time. The problem occurs when I try to run multiple instances of this application at the same time. When I run multiple instances of this application at the same time (against totally different databases) each instance will start up happily and begin running through the process described above. After a few moments one or more instances will fail during the report export. The specific error is as follows: 
 
"Memory full. Failed to export the report. Not enough memory for operation." 
 
The error always comes from the call to: 
 
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToDisk(Format, FileName) 
 
I have watched the memory consumption of these instances of my application while they are running. They never seem to exceed approximately 52MB each. At this time task manager reports over 1GB of physical memory free. These numbers lead me to believe that memory is not actually "full". 
 
Here are some specifics about the environment: 
 
Dell Vostro 1720 / P8600 / 4GB 
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 
SQL Server 2008 SP1 x64 
Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 
 
Specifics about the C# application: 
 
IDE: Visual Studio 2008 SP1 
Type: Console Application 
Target platform: x86 
.NET Framework: 3.5 SP1 
Crystal References: 
- CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (v12.0.2000.0) 
- CrystalDecisions.Shared (v12.0.2000.0) 
 
Specifics about the report templates: 
 
The report templates are RPT files saved from CR2008 SP2. They are relatively simple. A few of them (maybe 3) contain a single subreport. 
 
Specifics about the database: 
 
Each database is approximately 1GB in size. The database contains many tables but the reports only access a handful of tables. Each table that the reports access have maybe a few hundred rows tops. Most have less than 100. Likewise, when the reports perform their selections the resulting rowset for the reports is anywhere from about 20 records to a few hundred records tops. 
 
A few items to note: 
 
- Multiple instances of my application need to be able to run on a single machine at the same time. It is a specific design requirement. 
- My application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time. 
- My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I comment out the Crystal part of it. 
- My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I change the export format from PDF to HTML32 or HTML40 (have not tried any others) 
- The machine has over 1GB of physical memory free when this error occurs. 
- I have taken steps to ensure that I am properly disposing of my CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument instance just after each export is complete. I have tried to use the "using" keyword, as well as explicitly setting the instance to null and calling the .NET framework garbage collector. This did not seem to help. 
 
Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Steve

Jonathan & Ludek, 
 
Thanks for the timely response and good suggestions guys! 
 
I have performed a few more tests today in order to help answer some of your questions. 
 
Below are my responses. Some of them are answers to questions and some of them are observations based on tests I have performed today. 
 
- The database system is SQL Server 2008 SP1 Developer Edition x64. 
 
- The C# application connects to the database using the native .NET SQL client (System.Data.Sql). 
 
- During runtime I connect the report to the database by looping through the ReportDocument.Database.Tables collection. For each Table found I create a CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo instance, fill in the table name, server name, database name, user ID, and password, and use Table.ApplyLogOnInfo() to apply it. I do the same thing for the subreports collection if there are any. Like I said, about half of the reports contain a single subreport. 
 
- The report templates are currently set to use the "SQLOLEDB" Provider. The Database Type is set to "OLE DB (ADO)". I am not entirely sure what you mean by trying a different database driver. I assume you mean to change the provider? If so, given the fact that we are using SQL Server 2008, what would I change it to? 
 
- If I do not perform the database updates during application runtime (instead, perform them ahead of time and then allow the application to only render the reports) then I still have the same problem. Nothing changes. 
 
- I installed the Fix Pack 2.5, rebooted, and tried again. Same problem. 
 
- I do not beleive that I am using XML transforms. How would I know? 
 
- Regarding fragmented memory: It is hard for me to believe that, given the amount of memory free on the machine once all processes are up and running (1GB+), and the size of the processes (~50MB), that a contiguous block could not be found. Maybe there is some Crystal process that is attempting to balloon out of control, but as far as I can tell my application is not getting very big. I will not rule this out of course because I don't know for sure. 
 
- Regarding killing the process once a report is rendered: The problem with this is that the application needs to perform these 7 groups of updates and render these 7 reports in a specific sequence all as part of one complete "pass". Also, this application needs to be able to be able to handle a scneario where one or more instance of the application is started on a single machine at roughly the same time (pointed at different databases). The application actually does work fine in this regard (staying well within the capabilities of my 4GB laptop even when 8 of them are running) except that I always get the same error when I choose PDF as my export format. 
 
- I ran a test today where I changed the export format to HTML40 and started 8 instances of the application at the same time, each working from a different copy of the database. The instances ran a little slow but did complete in good time with no errors. Please note that changing the export format to PDF will cause the application to fail with the "memory full" error if even only 2 instances are running at the same time. The only way I can successfully complete a run with the export format set to PDF is to run only 1 instance at a time. I can run it over and over all day long and it will not fail, as long as only 1 instance is running at a given time. As of yesterday I had only proven that the application would complete when using the HTML40 export format when 2 or 4 instances are running, but today I doubled it again (to 8) and still no failure while using HTML40. This is possibly the most interesting fact about this problem, and is another reason why I am skeptical that memory fragmentation is the culprit. 
 
We would like to solve this problem because we would like to continue to target the PDF format. It is the standard report export format for our applications. If we cannot solve this problem we may call a meeting and decide whether to proceed with the HTML40 export format, or possibly dump Crystal from this project altogether. 
 
Thanks again for your interest in our problem and your timely and helpful responses. I'm really not sure where to go next ... maybe change the database provider in the templates? I will need some specific advice in this area because I'm not sure what to do. Any more ideas you guys have will be greatly appreciated on this end!

How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to Word?

I just purchased Pages and tried to export a couple pages of my document to Microsoft Word so I could send them for review to a client who does not have Pages; however, when I copy-pasted into Word, none of the comments or tracked changes showed up in the doc., only the finished product. I've tried updating my software, but that hasn't worked. Is there a way to fix this?

Here is what the Pages User Guide says:
" Exporting Pages Documents to Other File Formats
If you want to share your Pages documents with those who aren’t using the latest version of Pages, you can export your document to file formats that they may be able to use on their computers or other devices:
• PDF: You can view PDF files in iBooks, and view or print them in Preview and Safari. You can edit them with a PDF application. Fonts used in the Pages document are preserved in the PDF file.
Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks.
• Microsoft Word: You can open and edit Microsoft Word files in Microsoft Word on a computer running Mac OS X or Windows.
Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. You may notice other differences, as well, for example, table layouts and some special typographic features may not be identical. Some graphics (particularly those using transparency) may not display as well. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which you can edit in Microsoft Word.
• RTF: You can open and edit RTF files in many different word processors. RTF files retain most of the text formatting and graphics.
• Plain text: You can open and edit plain text files in many text editing applications, such as TextEdit. Exporting to plain text removes all document and text formatting, and images aren’t exported.Â ePub: You can open ePub files for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub file reader. After you export your document to ePub format, you must transfer it to your device to read it in iBooks. To learn more about optimizing a document for ePub format, exporting it, and transferring it to your device, see “Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks” on page 257.
If your Pages document is password-protected, the password-protection is removed from the new file that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF file format, you can apply a new password at the time of export. "

Export comments AND highlighted text?

I know there are several options for exporting comments associated with highlighted text in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but is there a way to export both the comment AND the highlighted text?
Thanks.

Hi,
Any of the annotations on the Comment & Markup toolbar (including those not place with defaults but available via "More Tools") can be exported to a separate PDF file.
Use Summarize Comments or use Create PDF of Comments Summary.
In the options dialog that is presented, select 'Comments only'.
Regarding character strings that have the Highlight annotation "laid" over them;
Go into Acrobat's Preferences.
Select the Category "Commenting".
Look over the configuration settings in the 'Pop-Up Open Behavior'
and the 'Making Comments' panes.
Specifically, select "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups"
Cross-Out and Underline can be added to the Comment & Markup toolbar via the "More Tools" menu which is available on the default toolbar "ribbon" context menu.
Be well...

Trouble exporting comments to Word 2010

I am trying to export comments that I've put in an Acrobat document [using Acrobat 9.4.2] to a Microsoft Word document. I follow the procedure described in the help documentation to do this, but I keep getting an error message that says I need to have at least Word 2002 in order for the feature to work. I have Word 2010, so I don't understand why the message keeps popping up. Any thoughts?

This happens if PDFMaker is not loaded in MS Word. Try one thing - Launch MS Word 2010 and make sure that Acrobat Ribbon is getting loaded in it. There might be few reasons like Word Crashed while PDF conversion and all which disablse PDFMaker Addin in Word.
If you find that Addin is infact disabled, enable it in Word from "File->Options->Addins->Manage->Disabled Items". Enable PDFMaker addin, relaunch Word and see it Addin loads now and try export comments again.
I hope this will work.

Process to extract comments from PDF

Greetings,
I need to extract comments from PDF during a process workflow. Will exporting metadata alone work? If not, could someone please point me in the right direction?
I'm not enitrely sure where the comments reside (written, sticky notes, stamps, etc.).
Thanks in advance,
Alex

I don't think the meta-data will give you th annotations layer of the PDF. You'll probably need to use Assembler's invokeDDX service to export the comments into a n XFDF file (an XML representation of the comments)
The instructions should be in the DDX Reference:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/ddxRef.pdf
something like:
<Comments result="doc1comments.xfdf" format="XFDF">
<PDF source="doc1.pdf"/>
</Comments>

Export book to PDF doesn't remember previous settings - CS5

I've just noted a somewhat annoying "bug" in the book export. When I export book to PDF--which I do a lot--I have to rename the file and reselect the type of PDF I'm exporting every time. It should remember the last settings I used.I believe in the past that it did.
I also really hate that it always defaults to the interactive PDF--which I will probably never use. Half the time I forget to check that setting, rename the file, click OK, and then have to cancel and go through all the steps again because I forgot that the stupid thing can't remember that I want a Print PDF. I have gone through this annoying misbehavior several times in just the last few minutes. Add that up over all the hours that I work on books and do that export and we're talking about a huge time waster. Am I missing a way to set a defaullt here?

The book export or the regular export? Mine definitely always goes back to interactive PDF. Even after I've saved a print PDF several times. It's really annoying.

Help with exporting data from pdf form

I have about 100 pdf forms that I created in adobe forms central and distributed as a pdf form (rather than on the web). I am trying to export the data into a spreadsheet but when I export it, the fields are all jumbled in the csv file, as in they are not in the same order. I need to export the data all together so I'm going to the forms menu and selecting "manage form data" and then selecting "merge data files into spreadsheet". I tried exporting a single file but that gave me something really weird.
Please help, I have a deadline next week to analyze this data and can't make sense of it once it is exported to a spreadsheet.

Would you please share your form with me and send me one of your pdf forms and some of the csv files?
You can share your form by doing the following:
1. Click on the “Share” icon on the bottom left corner.
2. Click on “Add Collaborator” on the popup menu.
3. Enter [email protected] under “People to share with”.
4. Set subject to "Export data from pdf form"
5. Click the “Share” button on the bottom right of the dialog.
