How can I make PDFs highlight-able?

I print to PDF using Tiger's built in PDF services a lot. I want to be able to highlight text in the PDFs I create. But the security on all the documents I create says "Commenting: Not Allowed" in Adobe Reader 8. Preview doesn't tell me anything good or bad about commenting, and it allows me to add little sticky-note text boxes, but I as far as I can tell, not highlight.
Any ideas? Is there a secret setting somewhere I can tweak? Or have I missed something obvious?
Thanks.

Sounds like the Mac users may be opening the PDF files in Preview instead of Adobe Reader.

  • How can I make .PDF files not display inline in an Outgoing mail?

    I want Mail to NOT display PDF files in outgoing messages. It will keep the icon placeholder if it's more than two pages, but not for one page PDFs. How can I stop this? It makes formatting kind of difficult.
    Thanks

    I knew. But I'm hoping for a way to make this the global default since ages...

  • How can I make PDF forms filled in Preview show correctly in Acrobat?

    Dears list members, there is a known issue with PDF forms filled in Preview: the fields do not show properly in Adobe Acrobat. How can this issue be solved? On the internet, I found two basic solutions: (a) to flatten the document by printing it as a PDF and (b) to use a costum-made script. Is there an official correction for this bug that does not involve installing suspicious scripts? Thanks!

  • How can I make a boot-able CD for OS X panther

    I just purchased Norton Utilities online as a download. The installation notes say I should run the software from a CD before installing it. The problem is, there is no CD. Is there a way to make a boot-able CD so I can run Norton? I tried skipping the "run CD first" step and ended up with an almost non-functioning key board. I ran the un-installer and got back to were I started. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thank for the input. I now must agree with you and Ferd II, this Norton software is junk! I Posted all this to Ferd II already but I figured I should send the same to you and get your advise to.
    Ever since installing Norton Utilities 8 I have had unbelievable problems with my computer. Un-installing it helped with most but I fear a full OS re-install is my only solution. I also installed Norton Internet Security 3.0 and have found that it is slowing my computer down to a crawl.
    This all started because my system seemed to be gradually getting slower and I thought my HD might need to be de-fragmented. I run "disk utilities" frequently but it didn't seem to be finding problems. .This led me to buy Norton Utilities.
    Shortly after all this I received an email that either had spy ware or a virus in it and my Apple Mail and Safari began working very slowly (the spinning "gear", showing activity, would run for 3-5 minutes for no apparent reason). So I thought it would be a good idea to install anti-virus and anti spy-ware software in case someone was trying to take data from my computer.
    I am finding that all Symantec software for Mac is garbage. And the only thing worse than there software is there customer service; which seems to be non-existent!
    So, Is there any good software for Mac that will, remove virus, spy-ware, and do disk maintenance, or are they all junk? I used to use Tech-tool Pro when I was running OS 9 but people have told me that the OS X version was messing up there OS. Has that been fixed?
    Any way, Thanks for your help; I wish I had asked around about this before I bought anything.

  • I was on the airplane during which my keyboard pressed wrong passcode, I guess. I found my iPad was diabled to connet to iTunes. I don't have any access to my pc. How can I make my iPad abled?

    Please help me make my iPad abled without access to iTunes. I have iphone with me. Is it possible to resolve diabled iPad?

    You always want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings ..... but you can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    Instructions can be found here.

    Make sure that you pay attention to the section at the very of the article that talks about having never synced your iPad with iTunes. You may need have to restore the iPad that way.

  • How can I make firefox highlight new unread items on Drudge when the page auto-refreshes

    So I read Drudge Report and checkit a few times a day. It would be nice to have the unread news items highlighted. The new items that appear after the page auto refreshes. It just occurred to me whilst writing this that I would have to open every link on the page to make the task of highlighting new content easier. I don't know but if there's a way to have the new unread items highlighted it would save time scanning the whole page for new stuff.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • How can I make the highlighted area smaller in Preview?

    When I try to highlight a passage in Preview it is huge! I would think that when you choose to highlight something it should litteraly just highlight THOSE lines.  However, it looks like a scribble that takes up more than the passage above and below many lines, as if its been scribbled back and forth ***?

    I don't seem to see the same thing:
    I can't find any preferences that control the highlighting.

    I hope you can work magic. I have tried to use: Adobe Acrobat 11.0.03, Adobe Reader 9.2.0, Adobe Reader 10.0.03. Use Safari 6.0.5 with Apple OSX 10.2.4 I try and get my bank statements from US Bank and all I can download or look at is some kind of code. Looks like source code. My wife OSX 10.2.4 works with Adobe Reader 9.2.0 on her new iMac desktop.
    Thank you for your help and/or anyone out there that has an idea.

    There IS NO WAY that a NEW iMac, which is a Intel Mac, is running OS 10.2.4, which is a PowerPC Operating system. OS 10.2.4 was OBSOLETE in  April 2003. The final update for OS 10.2 was 10.2.8 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1194.

  • How can I make sure under Windows 8 in Explorer to get a real pdf document content file miniature and not the Adobe logo miniature?

    This is not a typical Windows 8 problem, I had the same problem with all my previous Acrobat versions on all previous Windows versions.
    How can I make sure that when consulting pdf files via Windows explorer the pdf file is represented as a genuine miniature of the document content itself and noit just a document icon with Adobe logo?

    Hi Josialaers,
    Turn the 'Preview Pane' ON and you should be able to see the content of the pdf when clicked.
    When 'Show preview handlers in preview pane ON' is checked in 'Folder Options' of Windows Explorer.

  • How can i make the report previewer show a PDF file instead of HTML?

    Hi there,
    i made a report which can be called within a form by a button. This report is a PDF-report.
    I also have an option in the application to start the report from the menu. Then i get the Launch Report Form by Headstart. Here i can fill in for Desformat (in the options) PDF and Output to PREVIEW. Still it generates me a HTML report in my browser. How can i make it work so that the PREVIEWER will show me a PDF-report instead of the HTML?
    Kind regards,
    Dave

    You can not use PREVIEW as output type in webbased forms/reports. Try using as output type CACHE or FILE.

  • How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

    How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages)  with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

    Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
    You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.

    If an image opens in a different application but you want it to always open in Preview when you double-click it, do this one time: Control-click the file, let go of the Control key, press the Option key, then choose Always Open With > Preview. Or, select the image file, choose Get Info from the File menu, then change the "Opens with:" pop-up menu choice to Preview.

    When a document is signed, the signer has the option of locking the document. The links won't be active if the document is locked, so to avoid this, instruct the signer not to lock when signing.

  • How would I be able to bring the GHz and memory up on an Air?  How can I make it badass?

    How would I be able to bring the GHz and memory up on an Air?  How can I make it badass?

    I should clarify a point ...
    Macbook Air solders memory onto the motherboard.  It cannot be upgraded.
    Macbook Pro has memory slots that allow SODIMMs (the memory cards) to be replaced, up to the limit of the motherboard.
    My 15 in MBP can upgrade to 16 GB.  But 16 GB for my machine is still $600 at cheapest.  I will be staying at 8 GB for a while.
