How to enable comments on Reader

Hello,
One of the main uses I had of Acrobat 9 was to enable comments on my PDF files for Adobe Reader. Now I upgraded to Acrobat XI, and I could not locate that option anywhere. I looked for it in the menus and the help, Googled it and searched here, to no avail.
I understand that Adobe Reader XI does not need that permission to put comments on files. But I still need to enable the comments, for users who will get my files that do not have Adobe Reader XI - in particular Linux users, given that the most recent Reader for Linux is 9.5.5.
Can anyone help me? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Paulo

What do you mean you are "using Adobe Reader'? Inside of a browser? Inside of your application? Stand-alone?
What version of Reader?
Is the PDF Reader-Enabled??

How to enable commenting into pdf files using java?

Hi All,
Is there any way available to enable comments into pdf files through java. I have a Adobe Reader 9 and also I want put some comments into pdf file, but the reader is not allowed to place a comment into pdf file before enabling the Comments into pdf. After enabling the comments in pdf file then only we can place the comments and we can the pdf file with comments.
Is there any way available to enable comments into pdf file to view acrobat reader.
Thanks in advance.

The end user who uses the web application has Acrobat installed in their mahcine needs it only for the purpose of enabling comments in pdf. If this task of enabling comments in pdf is done through my application there is no need for acrobat in such user's machine which was requested as a cost cuttnig measure.
For this purpose, i need to know about how to enable comments in pdf through java api.
I have used itext java api for other pdf related manipulation in java. But it does not have feature as per the requirement posted above. Can any body suggest relevant java api to achieve the task requested?
Tahnks in Advance.

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 Enable Commenting By Others??

Could you tell me how to enable commenting by the individuals I send 3D PDF's to. It is my understanding that recipients of my 3D PDF's do have the ability to measure and comment on my PDF's. Thank you in advance.

In Acrobat 3D or Acrobat Pro, open the document, go to Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader...

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).

How to enable commenting for Adobe Reader users--missing menu option?

According to the help file, I can enable commenting in Acrobat Pro X so that Adobe Reader users can use annotation and commenting tools. The help file says:
"In an open PDF, choose Comments > Enable For Commenting In Adobe Reader, and then save the PDF.:"
However, all is see on my menubar is:
According to the help file, I *should* see something like the following:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro X. I have installed Acrobat Pro X on a machine that has never had Acrobat Pro installed on it. Each time I see only the shortened version of menu options.
So, why do I only see File, Edit, View, Window and Help? Where are the other menu items, such as Comments, Forms, Tools, etc? Is there something I need to do to enable them?

*Thank you*. That worked. How odd that the help file was out-of-date with my version of Acrobat. Thanks you again!

How to enable commenting in PDF?

Using RH9. Generating a PDF for review from WebHelp. RH shows me the Create PDF for review dialog box but the Enable commenting in Adobe Reader option is dimmed. How can I activate this feature?

Hi there
Just a comment and observation here on a couple of things.
Sure, it's Adobe's sandbox and they are free to do what they like with their products. However, they do tend to listen to customers in order to decide which features to add, remove or enhance. And if they hear from several different customers, they pay more attention. You get their ear by completing a Wish Form/Bug Report. These are always read by the product teams.
Soooo, you (and any others reading this that feel this way) should please submit a Wish Form to advise Adobe that you want to see these "suite only" features work with the stand alone versions of the product. But here's the kicker. The features should only work if you have the other required Adobe software. What I mean by this is that many folks purchase Acrobat separately and RoboHelp separately as individual items. It seems ridiculous to me (as I'm sure it does to you) that if you have both pieces of the required software, that a feature requiring both would also require a "special version" of both so they are now integrated. It forces the customers into making an additional purchase and duplicating software just to get a feature working.
And your comment about Ankur? Well, completing that Wish Form (link is in my sig) will put your comment in front of his eyes. Really it will! Posting here probably won't do it. It's like shouting at the wind and hoping the president hears it. Completing the Wish Form is like making a direct telephone call to the president's answering machine.
Cheers... Rick

How to enable Comment functionality in Design Studio

Hi Experts,
How can we enable comment functionality in Design studio? This is important for users:
a) To enter comments in the application
b) To see the comments after reopening the application again. This means, it needs to be stored somewhere.
This application is built on top of a BEx Query.
Really appreciate your help here!!
Thanks,
Jomy

Hi Jomy - I see your point
Looking at Figure 7 here Lumira and Design Studio Updates Roadmap from ASUG Annual Conference - Part 2 it is not going to be built in Design Studio
So my opinion only here - either you buy CubeServ add-on or you build SDK yourself. As an accountant I would do cost-benefit - how long (cost) would it take for someone other than CubeServ to do it versus buying from CubeServ.
Maybe others have ideas?

Enabling Commenting with Reader for multiple files

Hello,
I am trying to enable a great amount of files for commenting with Adobe Reader 9. I know how to enable each single file through the comments menu, but doing this for 1000+ files could take me quite a bit of time. Is there any way to automatize this process? Somehow I can't find that option through batch processing... Thanks!

Specifically, NO, with Acrobat. Adobe sell a high end product, once
called LiveCycle Reader Extensions but I've lost track of the name,
which will do this - hence the absence in Acrobat.

PDF opens slower after enabling comments for Reader

I enabled commenting for Adobe Reader to my PDF and now when I try to open the document in Reader it takes about 15 seconds longer. Ok, its just 15 seconds, but still...all my other pdf documents open instantly. Is Adobe Reader loading/checking the entire document for comments?--maybe that's why it takes longer?

How to enable commenting in RH8

In the Adobe online help, it states that one can "enable commenting" and the comments are stored to a shared folder somewhere. How to enable this in RH8?

I think that only applies to the locally-installed flavour of AIRHelp

How to Enable/Disable MessageTextInput Read Only property in PFR?

Dear All,
When i click on a submit button i need to enable/disable the Read only property of MessageTextInput item.
Can any one tell me how to do this?
I am executing the code
if (pageContext.getParameter("EnableBT") != null) {
OAMessageTextInputBean beanEmployeeIdCL = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("EmployeeIdCL");
beanEmployeeIdCL.setReadOnly(false);
When i used the above code in Process Form Request method it is showing developer mode exception in run time as we can call the above code only in Process Request form.
Request to please help regarding this.
Thanks & Regards,
CAK

CAK,
You need to make use of Partial Page Rendering (PPR) & SPELL. Modifying the bean property in PFR is not supported in OAF.
Refer - PPR section of Devguide for more.

How to enable the NTFS Read/Write support without 3rd party software?

Is there a way to enable the NTFS Read/Write support of Mac OS X 10.6.8?

Well, I've used Paragon NTFS, but if you don't want to use 3rd party software, you should do this AT YOUR OWN RISK:
Open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
Type "diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name" and copy the Volume UUID (bunch of numbers).
Backup /etc/fstab if you have it, shouldn't be there in a default install.
Type "sudo nano /etc/fstab".
Type in "UUID=paste_the_uuid_here none ntfs rw" or "LABEL=volume_name none ntfs rw" (if you don't have UUID for the disk).
Repeat for other NTFS partitions.
Save the file (ctrl-x then y) and restart your system.
After reboot, NTFS partitions should natively have read and write support. This works in both 32 and 64-bit kernels. Support is quite good and fast, it even recognizes file attributes such as hidden files.
Good luck!

New User Question: How do I enable comments in Reader when this option is greyed out on my menu?

I cannot figure out what I am missing here. I have a PDF Portfolio completed and now want to E-Mail for Review. But this option is greyed out on my Comment Menu dropdown list. What to do? Thanks!

Two Places to Check
In iChat in the Video menu (May say Audio) to the right of the Buddies one there is Camera Enabled. It should show a tick next to it.
Next in the View Menu the Show Video Status item also needs a tick.
If those two items are ticked then go to the Apple icon top left > About this Mac > More Info button to open the System Profiler.
Use the reveal Triangles and go to Hardware > USB and see if the camera is listed.
