IBooks - PDF Files that a reader can highlight and write notes in?

Hi,
I would like to create a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat in Windows that a reader can highlight the text in and write notes. Is this possible? I can get it to show bookmarks and such, but the other two things would be great to be able to do.
THANKS!

The point is to be able to use the iBooks functionality.
iBooks doesn't have the functionality you want. Here is a chart that may be useful.

  • How do I disable the paste function on a PDF so that the reader can write text on it but not copy and paste text onto it?

    I'm trying to create a PDF for my students to take notes on during class but I don't want them to be able to copy and paste the notes. I'm using adobe professional to create the PDF.

    Why do you want to prevent copy and paste? They can take screen shots of the pdf if they are real insistent? If you password protect your file, to prevent copy and paste, but that is trivial to circumvent. You can convert your pdf to tiff and then re-import, the resulting file will be an image pdf file.The contents will be an image which doesn’t prevent copy and paste, will prevent it being done as text.

  • Pdf files open in microsoft office pictures and will not open

    when trying to open a pdf file of pictures or an emailed document it goesinto microsoft office pictures...a blank screen appears with a small square in the center with the office picture logo and nothing opens

    If you are on Windows, the easiest would be to run a repair install on Adobe Reader:
    *Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs
    *select Adobe Reader, then click on 'Change'
    *click '>Next', select 'Repair', click '>Next'
    This should repair your PDF file association.

  • I receive pdf files that open with checkered background and I can't read them.

    Lately, whenever I open a pdf attachment  from someone, it opens in Adobe with a checkered background.  How do I get rid of this background?

    Hi Barbara:
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have a PC.  How do you set the Reader to open pdf instead of Elements?  When I open my email and it has a pdf attachment, I click on it, it scans it and asks if I want to open it.  It then opens automatically in Elements - with no other option.

  • How can I lock the annotations on my PDF file in Adobe reader version 5 with write access

    I have Adobe Acrobat ver 5.0.
    I have labelled (annotated) certain fields in my files. Now I need to lock the label to make it write protected.

    You just apply security. Not full proof, but it is what Acrobat offers.

  • Free way to dynamically build a form that adobe reader can fill out?

    It's 2008 and we don't have a open, free way to dynamically build a pdf form that adobe reader can populate with data? Why is Adobe charging for this sort of thing? Does this make sense to anybody?

    > Why is Adobe charging for this sort of thing?
    That seems to me the way economics works. People charge for things
    that other people are prepared to pay for. It's no good trying to
    charge for things that nobody will pay for.
    >Does this make sense to anybody?
    Adobe's shareholders, I would think, who will sack Adobe's management
    if they do not make money.
    By the way, the PDF specification is open. If you want something for
    free, why not implement it and share it with the world, who will
    surely be pleased. (You will not be able to implement a form that
    Reader can save, however, this is based on trade secrets).

    My reader will not open a PDF file that I have downloaded from a government web site (an application form) - it states that the file is not good.  I can open on the web site but not from my mac computer.

    Maybe this: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html ?
    Do you have a link to that document?

  • Reader prints pdf file in mirror image, can't set off as a default that holds.

    reader prin
    ts pdf file in mirror image, can't set
    off in advanced printer preferences as the default,
    has to be turned off each time4 manually.

    Same here using Adobe 9.3.2 this appears to be an adobe latest version programming issue.  Can workaround by manually resetting before printing but that is not the point.  Many others on here with same prob.  Is there a fix?

  • Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader...

    Adobe Reader Splash--I have a PDF file that whenever I try to open it suggests using Adobe Reader with a link to download Adobe Reader. I can't get beyond this. I have made Preview the default for all PDF's and yet this persists. I have also deleted Adobe Reader. This particular file is a portfolio, btw.

    I have similar issue. Did u find an answer?

  • How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

    How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??  I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it.  There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing.  How do I get rid of it?  Cannot select it.  Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it.  The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it.  I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

    Hey needadobehelp10,
    Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
    Is this really you wish for?
    Please let me know.

  • I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get the error message that adobe could not

    I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get an adobe error message that it can not print with an ok to check and when i do I get another adobe error message that says I did not select a page to print. I have downloaded the latest adobe download.  I forwarded the email to my husband and he printed the document just fine.

    This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
    For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

    Ps: which jdev version do you use?

  • Why can I not open PDF files using adobe reader in firefox?

    When I try to read a PDF file with adobe reader the file looks like it starts to load, I see in the tool bar the page count but the file never opens.

    You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
    You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu.

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them
    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • I cannot ope PDF files that are within a web link.  Neither Safari nor Firefox will work.  If I receive a PDF file as an email attachment, I can open it with either Adobe or Preview.  I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac.

    I'm going to re-state this.  Several weeks ago, I had installed Security Update 2012-004 on my iMac.  I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  Immediately afterwards, my Mail 4.6 was GONE.  Mail 4.2 was there, but the system would not open it.  The Apple Support Communites quickly solved my problem.  The problem lay within the Update.  Now, I cannot open PDF files that are contained within a website, i.e. a lunch menu that is on a restaurant website.  This happens on both Safari and Firefox.  If someone sends me an email with an attached PDF file, I can open the file with either Adobe or Preview.  This is happening only on my iMac.  My MacBook Pro, also running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 has not experienced either the first or second problem.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Does this help with Firefox?
