Need help creating PDF in InDesign w/ comment tools available in Reader!!

I'm trying to create a PDF that you can use the "comment" and other proofing tools in Reader. I've tried using Acrobat Pro to adjust the settings so the "comment" and other tools are available in Reader but it isn't working.
Here's what I'm really trying to do (if anyone might have an amazing idea). My company produces a 1300 pg catalog that the entire departmentaround 20 people in totalhave to proof. In an effort to reduce how much paper we use in our proofing process I'm trying to move the department to an "electronic" proofing process as much as possible.
I know that in Acrobat Pro you can comment and mark up a PDF and that you're able to do the same in Acrobat Reader (only the artist have Pro, the rest of the department just has Reader). I just can't seem to find a way to take my InDesign document and allow the "comment" tool to be accessible in Reader.
Anyone know? I know there is a "Review" session thing you can set up, but that's turning into a huge pain since Adobe doesn't want to work with our Mac based network...blah blah, way over my head.
Thanks for the help! (Sorry to be so long winded...)

Open the PDF in Acrobat Pro 7 or later.
Under the
Comments menu, select
Enable Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader....
This will spawn an
Save As... dialog. Save to a new filename is recommended (such as
[filename] for review.pdf), although you can save over the existing file if you choose or to another location.
Send the resulting PDF for review.
So long as the reviewer has access to Acrobat Reader 7 or later (or whatever version your Acrobat Pro is), there should not be any issues with them adding comments.
I use this all the time, exchanging files for review between Dallas, TX (on OSX) and Birmingham, AL (on Windows).
Older versions of Acrobat Reader will not work.

I suspect I already know the answer to this question; however I'll ask anyway in case I'm incorrect. Our Trust only supplies Acrobat 8 Standard or the standalone reader application. Is it possible to use Acrobat 8 Standard to enable a .pdf for commenting in Reader 6+?

Need help creating pdf contracts: Reader vs. Acrobat

I am needing some help regarding creating pdf contracts to send to clients. It will basically need to have info input by 2 different parties, the catering company and their client. I am on a Mac and will be originally creating the pdf contract. It will then be used by a catering company, who is using Windows. They will need to input information into this contract, such as dates, client info, prices, menus, etc. Then, they will email it to the client (probably using Windows) for their electronic signatures, ability to print for their files, etc., and then return the signed pdf to the catering company.
I have been going through Reader and Acrobat to see which application would be better to use. In Acrobat, I exported the pdf to Word to input info, but Word changes the appearance/formatting of things. The catering personnel don't need to have to rearrange the appearance, they need something they can simply fill in info on. Is there a way around this?? I then made a new pdf and the rest of the process seemed to function okay.
In Reader, I couldn't find a way to export to Word in order to fill in info and create a new pdf...is this correct? So it seems that I would have to create forms for both parties originally, then have the catering company fill out their portions, and then send the pdf onto the client to fill in their portions. But, if the client highlights the fields, all will be highlighted, not just the ones they need to complete. And, would they be able to alter the fields that the catering company filled out?
Could somebody PLEASE help me out with the logistics of this process???
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Boy - it's been a year and a half since you asked this question! So not sure if you're still out there.....
Looks like no one replied. Did you ever figure it out? I need to do the same thing...

I need help creating PDF files from Outlook .msg files.

I am trying to create a single PDF file from a group of Outlook .msg files. I need the attachments to be preserved and I am hoping that the individual .msg messages will be separated / bookmarked.
I am trying to remove large quantities messages from my mailbox and store them elsewhere as a record of correspondence.

Try running Repair Disk on the external drive.
With the drive connected go to Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility and double click DU.
In the left column click to select the name of the external (the item indented to the right).
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Unless you get a message the drive cannot be repaired, you should run Repair Disk again and again until you see green text saying the disk was repaired.
Quit DU.
If you get the message that the disk cannot be repaired, you will need a more powerful repair utility.

Uber Noob Needs Help Creating website!

I need help creating my webpage: It has a textbox on it were
the user enters a URL and it then redirects the end user to that
URL when they press the GO Button. It also has a check box saying
"Hide my IP", If the end user clicks this box and then clicks go
they will be directed to the website they stateted in the Textbox
but this time it shall mask there IP Address so they can bypass
proxys and surf anonomosly. Please can someone give me some HTML
code i could use for this site or a Link to a website that can give
me the code.

I assume the application is connecting to Oracle using an application ID/password. If so, check to see if that user has a private synonyn to the table. If so drop it since you have a public synonym.
Verify that the public synonym is in fact correct. Drop and recreate the public synonym if you cannot select against the synonym name using an ID that can perform select * from inhouse.icltm where rownum = 1. That is if this other user cannot issue select * from icltm where rownum = 1 without an error.
Check that the application ID has the necessary object privileges on the table.
Queries you need
select * from dba_synonyms
where table_owner = 'INHOUSE'
and table_name = 'ICLTM'
You may find both public and private synonms. Either fix or delete. (Some may reference someelses.icltm table if one exists)
select * from dba_tab_privs
where table_name = 'ICLTM'
and owner = 'INHOUSE'
Note - it is possible to create mixed case or lower case object names in Oracle by using double quotes around the name. Do not do this, but do look to see that this was not done.
You could also query dba_objects for all object types that have the object_name = 'ICLTM'

Created Graphics Using InDesign's Drawing Tools

Hello,
I Created Graphics Using InDesign’s Drawing Tools, but when I published to Kindle or EPUB, the graphics do not appear? All other raster images that are on the same page appear in Kindle Previewer. Is there a hidden button I must enable for Graphics created with InDesign’s own tools to get them to publish to Kindle?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
iaustin

I tried your suggestions(group, achor) and it still did not resolve my Kindle image issue.
I also tried exporting to EPUB format and the InDesign created images appear as drawn.
I conclude that have a Kindle ONLY related issue. (Tried in both PC Kindle and Amazon previewers).
I wonder what else can I try?
Can you clarify your statement... "but at least one line above where the images are visible?"

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
Can anyone here help me?

Vincent,
If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

Need big help creating PDF/X-1a compliant document.

Hi all,
I have tried this on my own but cannot make it work as I am not so computer savy. I have created all the files to specifications as best I can but when I try and use the preset PDF/X-1a it says violation both artbox and trimbox for every page. Ive tried fixing this manually and by using Preflight but it doesnt work for me. Can someone please help me create a PDF/X-1a complient document? I am desperate as I am trying to do this for a friend who needs my help. Looking for a good savior/Samaratin for help. My email is [email removed by host] Any help at all would be greatly appreciated either in an answer here or an email.
Thank you in advance

I create the files in photoshop and saved as PDF with the preset PDF/X-1a_2001 but I cant or at least I dont know how to define the bounding boxes like Trim Box and etc. in photoshop. The problem I am facing is that the pages are supposed to be set as 11.5 x8.75 for printing at 11.0 and 8.5. So I made my files the 11.5 x 8.75 size but now I cant set them to be printed at the right size(if that makes any sense-sorry I am a noob). So I am not sure what to do. I thought saving it as a PDF in photoshop and then fixing it in Acrobat was what I was supposed to do? I tried manually to set the artbox to 0 and set the trimbox to where it needed to be 11.0x8.5 with different parts cut off for the odds and even pages. But still when I try to save as PDF/X-1a it gives me error messages. I have searched the web but cant figure it out. It seems so easy for people to do it but I cant figure it out and I am panicking and need help. Can anyone help me?

I need to create pdf to certain printer standards - how do I do it?

I am creating an advert and never before have I been asked to do the following:
(They have attached the relevant files in the email for me but I have no idea how to do it. A step by step guide for dummies would be greatly appreciated. I am working on Windows)
Hereby the profiles (in zip files) which are needed to maken a certified pdf to our printer standards
-------------------------------------------------------------------->
Change the profile for images in Photoshop:
ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc
Place in the Library: Application Support - Adobe - Color - Profiles -
-------------------------------------------------------------------->
Make a pdf in InDesign:
WebCmykHiRes_1v4_IND4.joboptions
Place in the Library: Application Support - Adobe - Adobe PDF - Settings -
This profile is already fully confirm to our printer standards. (you don't have to change anything)
Choose this profile for PDF (Export) this preset WebCmykHiRes_1v4_IND4.
If it does not apear in inDesign, import Document, Presets Adobe PDF
-------------------------------------------------------------------->
Check the pdf in Pitstop:
WebCmykHiRes_1v4.ppp
Browse the profile in Enfocus Pitstop when you want to certifie your pdf.
Mistakes will show and explaned in a status report.
EDIT: It seems like they have given me steps to follow, like place in library, etc. but even this I don't know where to find. Could this be a mac/windows difference? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the instructions seem a little vague. For example, where it says "change the profile" I think it means to choose Edit > Convert to Profile. But you should verify that because there are other possible interpretations of "change the profile."

Yes, you have been given Mac instructions. The [username]/Library/Application Support path does not exist in Windows. In general, where it says to look in [username]/Library/Application Support, in Windows you should instead look in [username]/AppData/Roaming/ . You might find the following document useful as a guide, because it compares Mac and Windows folder paths for the same files: Preference filenames and locations in Photoshop CS6

Error message when creating PDF from Indesign and Photoshop

Hi, I reinstalled my Adobe CS2 product, and now get an error message each time I create a PDF from either InDesign or Photoshop. The message reads:
The instruction at "0x0045c9e5" referenced memory at "0x0215ebdc". The memory could not be "read".
I appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
Thanks --Alex

How do you create the PDF? There are multiple ways and it might make a difference.

Need help opening pdf files

I have a cd, which I have had for several years, and was able to use until the last year. Suddenly, Adobe Reader (I have tried several versions, updates, fixes, whatever!) says that each and every pdf file on the disk is damaged.
This is a cd that used to be able to start up on its own, and had various menus to get to the final pdf pages. I cannot open the files through windows explorer, nor by going through the menus. Each time, the error message tells me the file(s) was damaged because it was sent via e-mail or some other method that caused the files to be damaged. The problem with that is that the files and the cd were never altered, as the cd is not a rewritable one. It is also not pirated, if anyone is going to ask that question.
The cd is a manual for my vehicle. It has a parts manual, and a workshop manual along with other items. When the cd is put into the drive, it starts automatically, but cannot get a single file open. I have tried this in two different systems, and I get the same results. The strange thing is that I have files made under earlier Reader versions that still work. So why not this one, and why isn't someone at Adobe available to help me straighten this out? Shame on them!

I am facing the similar problem. Not able to open some PDFs. Was able to open till 2-3 months back. Did some analysis that not able to open the files created with version older the 9.0 of Adobe Reader. Also tried to open the same PDFs in my colleagues' Laptops and my home PC. No Success.
NEED SERIOUS ATTENTION FROM ADOBE.
You are in a user to user forum. If you want attention from Adobe, you'll have to contact Adobe and pay for the attention, as they don't provide free attention for problems related with the free Reader.
Adobe Reader cannot create PDF files, only open (read) them. If you cannot open some PDFs from within Reader in your machine and others, most probably they are damaged. Are you receiving any error messages when you try to open them? "Not able to open" doesn't say much, really.

Need to create pdf using adobe live cycle designer using function module

Hi,
Needed some help regarding creating a pdf at the backend. I will have function module in the backend which contains all my data and also an image represented as a Base64 encoded string.
What i need to do is pass this data onto adobe live cycle designer fromthe function module and create a pdf at a particular location. Please let me know how can we achieve this. if there is any function module to do the same. how does the function module i have defined call the adobe live cycle designer transaction or module to create a pdf. i am not an abaper so dont have much idea about the details.
Thanks.
Regards
Srikumar V

Hi,
I will try to find the standard function module. If there is no such standard function module, then we need to create a custom function module.
Check this link:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe]
Points that you can note:
1) Adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using ABAP Workbench, through WebDynpro.
2) Also adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using Transaction SFP.
3) And for both of the above 'Adobe Live cycle Designer' should be installed on the front end.

Problems in creating PDFs from Indesign under Snow Leopard

The Acrobat PDF Printer does not work under Snow Leopard anymore.
Adobe gives this alternative:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
After an update to Acrobat 9.1.3 PDFs should now be generated through a new "Save as Adobe PDF" option under the "PDF" button in the system print dialog.
This does not at all work in Adobe Indesign with it's proprietary print dialog. The PDF-Button is only available in the system print dialog (I know it is accessible from within the Indesign print dialog panel, yet clicking on the PDF button and selecting "Save as Adobe PDF" is ignored).
To make things worse: If you follow the advice to delete the Acrobat Printer from the "Print & Fax" panel this deletes the ADPDF9.PPD from the Library/PPD folder! You even cannot produce .ps files and distill them manually. Fortunately I was able to restore the ADPDF9.PPD from a backup.
This is really annoying: How can Adobe state everything works fine under Snow Leopard if you are not able to create PDFs any more? Or did I miss something?

Hi.
make this.
1. Go to the Apple> System Preferences...
2. Open the "Print & Fax" preference panel.
3. Select the Printing tab, to get to the printers list.
4. Select the printer "Adobe PDF 9.0".
5. Click the options and supplies button.
6. Choose the Drive.
Now I have reinstalled Leopard. but first like a Drive I have listed only a "Generic Printer".
I tried to reassign it ADPDF9.PPD but is not recognized and automatically resets to a generic printer.
So after some tests that I have found here
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
I have reinstall leopard
This has been my problem.
