Feature request: better tools for commenting and editing text

We currently use a comments-enabled Acrobat workflow with InDesign to track changes to our large catalog project. Was hoping to move our team over to CS Live, but currently the commenting tools are sub-par, and not accurate enough for extensive text editing. My request would be to imitate the text editing functionality of Acrobat:
In CS Live online:
- allow users to be able to copy selected text. (This is useful when a reviewer wants to be able to modify a sentence or paragraph. It's a headache now to have to retype the sentence prior to making modifications)
- Ability to highlight text and hit "delete" to mark text as deleted, or highlight and type over to indicate replaced text
- Ability to click to insert text, and have the comment appear with the inserted text designation (little blue carat like in Acrobat)
- ability to highlight a section of text
In InDesign:
- ability to copy the text in a comment and NOT copy all the other extraneous meta data. (Currently, if you click "copy text", it will copy the comment along with all the details about the comment. For example, "- Amy Stewart [10.06.11 at 12:56 PM]"
- ability to see in InDesign the EXACT part of the text that needs to be modified. Right now, the red box outlines the general area. The CS Review panel shows a tiny thumbnail with black highlight over the area of text that needs to be changed, but unfortunately, there's no way to zoom in on it, so you're stuck having to toggle between InDesign and the online review, where it's possible to zoom. (This diminishes the utility of the CS Review panel.)
If you were able to incoroprate all the commenting functionality of Acrobat, I think you'll have a winner. But right now, we're going to have to stick with Acrobat as it's the only way to easily modify text.

Sorry if I might be stating the obvious (but at least I was such a *dummy* once that I needed this explicitely):
In order to move the sequence of images per drag&drop in grid view you need to
Put the sort order in the bottom toolbar to "user order" (toggle visibility with letter T if not displayed)
Grab an image from within its thumbnail, not from its border-cell.
When you move around you see a vertical black thick line wandering in between images where you would be able to drop it
Put the images first into a collection in case they should be spread across multiple folders.
This is the reason why most often from a filter result you cannot re-arrange.
Still sometimes it does not work as I want, but can *be persuaded*, i.e. I repeat the same trial after first moving to another collection, then return back. I can't nail it down sufficiently to file a bug.
For an automated sorting according to filename (chosse that setting finally in toolbar) you could rename the photos in place, without exporting & re-importing. Just select them and hit <F2> to bring up the renaming dialog like possible during import.
+1 vote from me, as I am neither satisfied with the responsiveness of moving folders within LR e.g. from laptop hard disk to NAS.
Apart from that I try not to build much on my folder structure, just break them into manageable quantities and have a quick "diary-overview" by using naming convention "YYYY-MM-DD description of event" (pictures of up to 4 cameras go inside, unique filenames for Canons achieved by renaming during import). For all the rest I prefer to build (smart) collections.

  • Feature request: Better tool for organizing image files

    Hi all,
    I'm considering rearranging the directory structure of my photo library completely (for a number of reasons: new cameras, a new variety of tools on new PCs).
    I would like to reorganize my photos into a year\month directory structure and that will basically spread all my image files into new locations.
    I have searched quite a bit and the advices I have seen don't seem to work:
    (1) Moving the files outside LR is fairly easy (using exiftool) but I cannot make LR link to the files automatically in their new locations. And doing it manually with "Locate file" or "Find missing folder" is not practical due to the large number of files and large number of new locations.
    (2) Moving the files with LR tools is also not practical: Manually dragging the photos into the new directory structure will take forever, and the only automatic rename feature I know of is "Rename Files ..." cannot move the photos into new directories (it can, however, assign names from the file dates and other metadata).
    Now my feature suggestion: Either make it possible for LR to automatically relink files that have been scattered into a new directory structure or - better yet - make it possible for LR to perform such auto-organize operations.
    My mp3 manager (MediaMonkey) is a good example to follow: It can organize (move or copy) any number of music files into any directory structure built from the audio file's metadata (such as my standard audio directory structure: Music\<Artist>\<Album>\<Track#:2> - <Title>).
    Interestingly, the LR "Rename file" function can almost do it already; it just cannot move the file into a new directory.
    Or can this be done in a way I haven't discovered?

  • [Feature Request] Better support for new buttons in JUNavigationBar

    In my project I use a home made sub-class of JUNavigationBar, which contains some new functionality apart from a new button as well. This button allows me to refresh the currently selected row.
    However, since I added this button though a simple this.add(), some of the functionality in JUNavigationBar may get confused.
    For example, when I have removed some of the standard buttons but left my own button in place (setHasXXX()), the component index (calculated in JToolBar) and the array index for the buttons in JUNavigationBar may not match. This occasionally causes an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
    In short, what I'm asking for, is a better way to manage buttons on JUNavigationBar. Even making the array of buttons and related methods and such protected in stead of private (so that my sub-class could handle it) would be a good start.

    Hi Arno,
    I had a similar issue with trying to create a Nav bar with dynamic content. My solution was to leave all the standard buttons in place and to use setVisible(x) to make them appear or not as required.
    BTW have you noticed that rollover behaviour isn't consistant ie works for FIRST/LAST etc but not for FIND/QUERY.
    Regards
    Andy

  • Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ?

    Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?

    If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

  • 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.

  • "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.

    A year or so ago I had turned on a toolbar that sat at the top with the other toolbar, and had many tools for development and checking of websites. You could turn Java on/off, javascript on/off, turn on source view, and many other things. Now I cant find that toolbar. All that I can find now turns on a panel in the lower half of the window that probably does all the same stuff, but it takes up much more room. Where did that toolbar go? or was it an add-on or plug-in?

    It sounds like you may be referring to the Web Developer add-on.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    First, the plist is a by product of the Apple development process just like the plist is, thus you need to get this from the developer.
    Second, you don't have a choice. Getting ipas for Apple store apps is nearly impossible -- you can't just download them from the Apple store and use them. You can try to ask the developer for them but developers are very reluctant to do this. I can guarantee
    you that you won't get the ipa for Outlook from Microsoft and nearly all other developers have the same reluctance. There is no reason for them to give them to you -- the store offers many, many advantages for developers/publishers of the apps that go away
    completely if they give out the ipa.
    Why don't you want to install apps from the store?
    Regardless, as mentioned, you really don't have a choice.

    Then you are best to get a Macbook Pro. Your real aim should be the graphics card.
    You won't be doing really good gaming on a discrete graphics card sharing RAM.
