Non active drawing markup features

several of my drawing markup icons are not active and I have the monthly subscription for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro through the creative cloud app. Anyone know how to activate these features (it is the clouding feature, polygon feature and line drawing)

You probably just need to turn off Touch mode. There's a toolbar button for this as well as the following user preference: Edit > Preferences > Touch Mode > Never

How can I add a Drawing Markup/Annotation to my stamp while it's being stamped?

I have created Dynamic Stamp and works perfect and its located in my user profile:
C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Stamps\symbols.php
And this works just fine...
Now I want to add a line to the stamp.
I want the user to introduce the length of the line using a response box (app.response)
For some reason when I try to add the line using:
var new_line = this.addAnnot({
type:"Line",
page:6,
points:[[36,373],[613,373]],
width:2,
style:"S ",
strokeColor:color.black,
arrowEnd:"None",
arrowBegin:"None"
After this, the variable "new_line" is NULL, can somebody help me here?
So I cant add the line using JavaScript
Ironically when I try to create a field (text box) using JavaScript it works perfectly ....
var oField=this.addField({
cName: "info",
cFieldType: "text",
nPageNum: 6,
oCoords: [ 20, 20, 1, 1 ]
oField.value = "Hello World !!!";
I am able to insert the line manually when I open the stamp file in Acrobat and add the line under Comment->Drawing Markups->Draw Line. However I want the length of the line to be inserted by the user when the user applies the stamp... Can anybody help me here?

I added 4 annotations to the stamps (2 Lines, 1 Circle and 1 text box)
Then I tried to get the Annotation properties and still no good luck.
The variable is NULL
I used this script:
var aAnnots = this.getAnnots(6);
app.alert("There are: " + aAnnots.length + " annots");
Note: The scrip is in the "calculate" section of one of the field text of the stamp (Custom Calculation script)
Do you want me to send the stamp?

Can you define a specific size of a Drawing Markup rectangle?

Hi all,
I am using Acrobat X and have been asked to find an answer to a 'problem' someone is having.
If you have a site plan of one's property and they submit it to me for comment (as a pdf file) can I draw a box to a specific size? Say I set the 'scale ratio' to what the drawing scale is, I go to 'comments' and from the 'Drawing Markups' pane I choose 'draw rectangle; square', I then draw a rectangle to represent a shed of a specific size. I can dimension how far the rectangle/shed is to be from the property lines and I can dimension the rectangle/shed but I have to play with stretching it to get it to my desired size based on the scale I set.
My question; is there anyway, when I am drawing the box, to either specify an x by y size or see the lenghts of their sides once I pick a corner and start to drag the box to the other corner?
If not, would there be a java script that could accomplish this task?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Sabian, I understand that Acrobat is not a vector drawing application and I have been using all those programs (illustrator, AutoCAD, CorelDRAW etc.) for the past 20+ years. It wouldn't seem too much to ask considering that I can set a scale to my page (in Acrobat) and I can get Acrobat to give me a dimension from point A to point B based on that said scale, so why couldn't I expect to put a rectangle markup based on that same scale?
As for the right tool? We are a municipality that is trying to make it easier for the public to submit applications online. Those submissions are in the format of a PDF because it is unrealistic to assume the everyone in the public has access to or can afford a program like AutoCAD or illustrator. Likewise it is too COSTLY to have everyone in the city have say 'AutoCAD' or even 'illustrator' to view the application documents to markup and send back.
I believe In 1991, Adobe Systems co-founder John Warnock outlined a system called "Camelot"[3] that evolved into PDF (from Wikipedia) and it was a way to have an independent viewing format regardless of what software application created it. I truly believe that Acrobat for what it's initial intent was that it should incorporate some of these features as it only makes sense in an evolutionary sense. Not to be a 'drawing package' but in it's markup/comments palette to expand on them.
So keep your comments to 'no at this time acrobat does not allow this type of functionality but who knows in the future' and don't treat me as though I don't know anything about anything. In my decades of using these applications I have seen them evolve to include more functions and do more then when the product was originally released.
I will now go on and recommend that they seriously look at Bluebeam Revu as it is not only cheaper but it has a ton more functionality specifically designed for the needs as listed above working with PDF's (and bitmap images to boot). I was just wanting to cover all bases and give all programs a fair look.
Thanks again for your intuitive insight.

Editing Pdfs using the Annotations and Drawing Markups

I regularly use the Annotations and Drawing markups on Pdfs on Mac to edit, but since updating to Adobe Reader 11 everything has gone haywire. The Pdf freezes constantly. Although I can still edit on screen, none of the Markup shows in the toolbar so I can't use it to review or navigate around the Pdf. I can't delete the Pop-ups or markup by right clicking as usual. The Save button in the top toolbar doesn't work - I have to go to the Drop down menu, which takes longer. It's impossible to close any Pdfs by clicking the red top left button - I have to go to the Drop down menu to close. It's hopeless! Any suggestions?

I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.9 and Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I wonder now if I have the right version ...

Drawing Markup and Annotations using Reader with Commenting-Enabled PDFs

I recently purchased Acrobat Standard to produce commentable PDFs for my contributors who use Acrobat Reader.
The page linked below says that I can use Acrobat Standard to "Manage shared reviews, collecting everyone's feedback in one PDF and letting reviewers build on one another's comments‡"
Adobe Acrobat XI
I have used these features in the past with Acrobat Pro, but there wasn't any documentation that hinted at what appear to be limitations. For example, using Acrobat Standard I can send a PDF for email review, but the only tools that my contributors can use with Reader are the sticky note and highlighter. In the past, when I used Pro, the whole suite of markup capabilities including Drawing Markup and annotations like strikethrough were available.
I have looked everywhere for information about how to enable these other commenting tools, but can't find anything. Am I missing something or is this some misleading marketing materials that have led me astray.

You either need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro or the users need to upgrade to
Reader XI, where all of the commenting tools are available by default.

Why is there is no colour difference in FF4 between an active and an non-active tab?

Tabbed browsing is one of the best features of Firefox. In previous versions the active or selected tab is a lighter colour than the non-active tabs, making it easier to navigate between tabs.
In Firefox 4 (Windows) all the tabs are the same colour. Installing the coloured tabs add-on does not help, because it relies on the shading that FF4 provides (or does not provide in this case).

I am using XP and I can see no difference.
I have gone back to FF3.6 because it is easier to see which tab is active and which tab I am about to select when I hover the mouse over it. FF4 is just dead man. :(

Can not use all the tools in my drawing markups any ideas on getting them to work?

Can not use all the tools in my drawing markups any ideas on getting them to work?

Hi tonys60181,
Could you please let me know what version of Adobe Acrobat are you using.
What all drawing tools are you unable to access?
Is this issue specific to one PDF file or all?
What exactly happens when you try to use any drawing markup?
Please let me know.
Regards,

HT2623 how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

If the iCloud account you are trying to delete is old ID that was later updated to change it to your current ID, you can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now, if desired, you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How to minimize the file size of a file with drawing markups

Scenario:
I need to turn a sample of a report into a report template, so I am deleting as many objects as I can with the Tools>Content>Edit Object. For text that I cannot delete that way, I am covering it up with a white box (Comment>Drawing Markups>square and setting outline = white and fill = white). On this particular PDF, there are about 20 of these white boxes. I'm then using Preflight>Flatten annotations and form fields to flatten all of the markups.
Problem:
Unfortunately, even after using Preflight and Save As>Reduced Size PDF, the file size is still over 900 kb. The original file size before I make any changes is less than 150 kb. I need the final file size to be 200-300 kb.
Settings:
Windows 7
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
Solutions?
I may be going about this all wrong, so any advice you have is much appreciated! The only other thing I can think of to do (since I can't get a blank sample report), is to recreate the report in Word and then PDF it. I'm hoping there's a better solution. I tried Photoshop first and the file sizes were in the MBs, so I switched to Acrobat. Maybe a different program would work even better?

Basically that is what Bill is telling you. The best method is to:
create the design of the form in Word.
Save as a PDF (on a Mac the best method is to go to print menu click pdf and hold mouse or track pad button down, and Chose Adobe PDF) .
Then open PDF in Acrobat
Click on Tools
Click on Forms and create form. Either letting acrobat create the fields and add or take away fields as need. Or create fields manually.
This way should you need to make correction you can open the original Word Document, Make chages save as PDF The in open original in PDF. Click on Tools > Pages and choose replace pages and replace desired page(s) as needed. Then readjust fields if needed or add or take fields as needed.

Trouble with Drawing Markups in Acrobat Pro XI

Hello all and thank you for any help that comes out of this.
I use Acrobat XI for several forms for work. They are timesheets. I created these forms from another PDF that was given to me. Part of the use of these forms involves adding Drawing Markups and editing the Markups later. The Markups in this case are simple lines. In Acrobat 9, this was an easy task. I could easily grab the Markups I had inserted and manipulate them any way I chose.
Now, in Acrobat XI, once I insert a line, I basically can no longer touch it without doing a very clumsy work-around. Every once in a great while, I get lucky and am able to get my mouse over that one magic hidden pixel and then I can grab the Markup and do what I need.
It just seems much, much more difficult working with Drawing Markups in the new version.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there an option I don't know about?
Thank you in advance.
Dave

Gilad:
The only choices Acrobat XI gives me are the "Selection tool for text and images" and the hand-shaped "Click to pan around the document" button.
There is a "Tool Set" option under the View menu, but there is no "Interactive Objects" submenu.
Please note the image I have included of the toolbar that I am presented with in Acrobat XI. Does the button you are suggesting I use exist anymore? I haven't seen it since Acobat 9 and I have scanned through menus and see no way to add another Selection Tool to the toolbar. If it does exist, please tell me how to turn it on.
Thank you!

Cannot edit text in Drawing Markup Text Box

I cannot edit text in Drawing Markup Text Box after saving and closing the pdf file and then reopening it. I go to add additional text in the Text Box, and nothing happens.
Hope you can lend me a hand,

Adobe X Pro 10.1.4

In the previous print screen, the layer icon has a paintbrush in it. In the new menu page I cut and pasted the text is still 'text' layer. I am not able to format it other than change font color. I want to make it two columns of text like the original pdf, and change the font.

Why does Apple support not have the manual for iPad and iOS5 available? The manual on the site has none of the new features.

Has anyone else noticed that the manual has none of the new features, for example iCloud in it? The iPhone iOS5 manual is correct.

I am no longer able to rotate drawing markups

I am no longer able to rotate drawing markups - I am using Acrobat X 10.1.4. What happened to this function of drawing markups such as circles, lines, squares?

Neither of the shapes have fill.
Wait! I thought that neither of these had fill, but the one I can manipulate has fill and when I added fill to the "after' shape I could manipulate it as I normally would. So it appears that I am a moron and was not used to dealing with just the border path, but an acutal filled shape.
Sorry for the waste of time and thank you for the help!

Pencil mark-ups disappear and Drawing Markups box goes black

As I use Adobe Reader X, after a few pages of using the Comment--Drawing Markups tools, like the pencil marks, these start going goofy, disappearing an reappearing. Also the Drawing Markups box goes black, the "find" windows starts to disappear too. Seems like something's corrupted. Can anyone help?
Thanks much.

Hi there
I also bought mine from the US, can't believe the sickening price difference. I've kept the powerlead for when I visit the states and want to use on my iPod charger and as Winston said, just used an existing powerlead (figure of eight). They're actually cheaper to buy than an airport-esque US to UK plug adaptor. The unit automatically does the 110/240v thing, so don't worry.
Regards
