Highlights, but no comments on PDF annotated outside of Reader for iOS

I can't seem to view comments on a PDF which was annotated before importing to Reader for iOS. Highlights show up, just not the comments associated with them.

Hi,
Adobe Reader currently does not support viewing or creation of sticky notes associated with highlights, though this is something we may consider supporting in a future update.
Thanks for reporting the issue.

New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS. However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete.
According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
(It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thanks,
Cam

Why can I not highlight single words in a pdf document with Adobe Reader for Android?

I, like other users I have seen, am unable to highlight single words or phrases in pdf files. I am using a Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet.

Hi,
Welcome to Adobe forums.
Please see : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-comments-acrobat-reader.html
I hope this will help you.
Please let me know, if you need any more help on this.

Is it possible to add bookmarks to a PDF file with Adobe Reader for iOS?

In the App Store write-up on this app, it said that one could "Use bookmarks to jump directly to a section in your PDF file." But I don't see how one can add such bookmarks. Do they only mean that you can use bookmarks that were already in the document before you open it in Adobe Reader?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

driddy61,
As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

Annotations do not work in Reader for iOS (but do for Reader on other platforms)

I sell a book as PDF and it is encrypted against changing the contents, but annotating is allowed (highlighting, balloons). It turns out that most PDF readers work as expected. The ones that don't (and that I know of so far) include Apple's Preview.app and (to my surprise) Adobe Reader for iOS.
All others tested so far (including Adobe Reader for Windows and OS X) behave as expected.
So, I suspect that (Preview.app on OS X and) Adobe Reader on iOS have a bug. Can I report that Reader for iOS bug somewhere?

Sadly, it's a limitation in Adobe Reader for iOS.

View PDF comments in Adobe Reader for iOS

Adobe Reader XI for Mac and PC can display a "Comments List" to show all of the comments that have been added to the document using the annotation features. Clicking on a comment scrolls the PDF document to where the comment was entered.
Could this feature be added to Adobe Reader for iOS so that comments added in the Mac / PC versions can be viewed on an iPad?

Hi,
A Comments list has been on our feature ToDo list for quite some time now. Unfortunately, it has not made it into the product yet.
Thank you for the feedback!

Highlighting protected pdf on Reader for iOS (iPad4)

I have a textbook pdf which allows me to highlight and add sticky notes on multiple versions of Windows, but does not seem to allow the same function on Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad4). Is this function supported, and if yes, how do I troubleshoot?
Thanks in advance.

Could you share a sample textbook for us to investigate? It could have some permissions that disallow this feature on the mobile version of Reader.
You can share it with me at [email protected]
Thanks

PDF documents that cannot be edited in Reader for IOS

Hello,
I've been trying to edit (highlight and add comments) a PDF document on my iPad, but the app is not cooperating with me.
I was able to edit it with Adobe Reader on my PC, but the same file cannot be edited with the ios app. I tried some other pdfs with the app, and in some, the editing options would work, but in others, they would not.
Is there any way that I can modify a pdf when it behaves this way, so that it will let me edit it on my iPad?
Thanks!

aboutrainbows,
Thank you for sharing the PDF document.
I took a look at the PDF document and found out that this problem occurs with certain types of PDF documents (but not all PDF documents). Only text markup annotations (Highlight, Strikeout, and Underline) are affected by the defect in Adobe Reader for iOS.
The good news is that we already have a fix for it. The fix will be verified by our Quality Engineering team and included in a future release of Adobe Reader for iOS. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide the release date for Adobe Reader for iOS.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please let us know if you have further questions.

Is it possible to view "Attach File" annotations in Adobe Reader for iPhone 5s?

Most of my annotations transfer well from Adobe Reader XI to Reader for iOS but "Attach File" annotations don't seem to carry over. I would like to be able to attach image and video files and have them function on an iOS device.
Versions:
iOS: 7.0.4
Adobe Reader iOS: 11.2.1
Adobe Reader Windows: XI 11.0.0
It would also be nice to have the same comment tracking functionality that exists in the desktop version. Knowing when and by whom each comment was made would be helpful in the field.

Thanks for your feedback. Adobe Reader for iOS does not support attaching of images and videos at the moment.
We have taken note of both your requests.

3D Object in PDF (Reader for iOS)

I have an embedded U3D object in a PDF. When I open the PDF in Adobe Reader for iOS, the model is seen, but I cannot rotate it or zoom in on it. Are 3d models embedded in a PDF supported?
Thanks!

Not supported.

Adobe Reader for iOS cannot open IRM-protected PDF documents.

Hi,
trying to open IRM-protected documents on an iPhone or iPad.
(Reader-version is 10.1.0 (49458) - on iOS5 final).
When X509-authentication and anonymous authentication is switched on,
there is an error-message, that the connection to the IRM-server failed.
When only "Username/Password" authentication is switched on,
there comes an different error like "Error opening the document".
In this case, LiveCycle-WWW Server only shows two successful calls to server/info/ , but the next POST to /rmws/rest/secure/license/consume is missing
2011-10-20 12:27:33 192.168.0.42 GET /rmws/rest/secure/server/info - 443 - 192.168.10.10 HTTP/1.1 Adobe%20Reader/10.1.0+CFNetwork/548.0.3+Darwin/11.0.0 - lcrm.devrms64.local:443 200 0 0 389 1647 15
2011-10-20 12:27:33 192.168.0.42 GET /rmws/rest/secure/server/info - 443 - 192.168.10.10 HTTP/1.1 Adobe%20Reader/10.1.0+CFNetwork/548.0.3+Darwin/11.0.0 - lcrm.devrms64.local:443 200 0 0 389 1647 15
which authentication-methods are supported for IRM-docs on iOS?
what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Dilettanto

I have tried testing this and have had mixed results... I was able to successfully open an RM'd PDF from one server, but receive a connection error when trying to access a document protected by a second RM server that I have access to. The error reads...
"Access to this document is restricted by this remote server: xxxx.xxxx.com, however we are unable to connect to it at this time. Please try to open it later. If you continue to see this message, check whether your device is supported by the server."
Is this the same error that you are seeing?
What version of Rights Management (LiveCycle) are you using? Can you access the server that LiveCycle is running on over HTTPS from a browser? This will help determione if the SSL certificate is trusted on the device.
I am testing using Reader for Android version is 10.1.0 (49458)

How to open a pdf in its native reader in iOS using AIR?

Hi there,
I am wondering if there is any feasability of opening a pdf directly in its native reader in iOS environment. I needed this to happen from an AIR application.
I have found that AIR can be extended using a java program to do the above task for Android.
here is the link: http://www.jamesward.com/2011/05/11/extending-air-for-android/
Thanks in advance,
Sris

Thanks everyone for the solutions.
After working all the possibilities to open locally saved file on iPad
1. StageWebView
2. navigateToUrl
3. file.openWithDefaultApplication();
4. Java socket extension for AIR,
I finally found a solution.
StageWebView works on ipad.
the code that works is as suggested by xperiments.es.fr
But the problem I faced was saving the pdf and opening the locally saved file.
Since iOS does not support desktopDirectory & documentDirectory, I tried to save the pdf in applicationDirectory/applicationStorageDirectory, that didnt work when I tried to open the pdf from those locations.
So the only way was to store the generated PDF in a temporary directory and StageWebView could locate and load that
It works!!!
Now the next challenge is, while the desktop (Windows) compilation of the app shows PDF reader with menu options, which does not show on iPad app. IPad app shows just a page index on left-top corner. It would be good if the options are shown as well.
Lets see!!!
Cheers,
Sris

Does adobe reader for IOS allow the use of buttons in a pdf document?

I have tried to read a pdf with buttons on my iPad (the pdf was produced by me and edited on acrobat pro to include bottons to show/hide text fields). The buttons do not fuction when I try to read the document on my iPad. Is there a way to get these buttons to function?

It depends on what actions are assiciated with the button. Unfortunately, Show/Hide field actions are not supported at this time, nor is the functionally equivalent JavaScript. At least one other PDF viewer for iOS has support for this.

Highlights, but no comments on PDF annotated outside of Reader for iOS
