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?

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Enable commenting for Reader users

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS8F17CB6D-B39D-4cf6-8060-7907C1AC53F7.w.htm l

    When trying to share a Reader extended PDF, I get this dialog box: "The document you have chose cannot be sent for shared review or collaboration
    because its current security permissions do not allow modifications. Please choose another document or change this document to allow modifications."
    Does this meant that Reader extended PDFs are only sharable as email attachments and cannot be shared via Acrobat.com? If so, how do I get around
    this? My department has Acrobat X, but most of the organization uses Reader X. We frequently need to share PDFs for review.

  • Acrobat Pro Calculating form fields lose functionality after enabling document for Reader

    I have a problem that continues to come up increasingly. I thought I had found a work-around on some forums, but it is still causing trouble. Im hoping you can answer the question.
    I am creating a form that requires simple calculations (sum and add). I can get these calculations to work just fine. However, as soon as I enable the document for Adobe Reader, the form seems to get amnesia. It loses the ability to calculate. When I go into the fields again to look at them, they still show that they are supposed to calculate, but arent working. I have to clear the calculations and completely reset them all in order to get them to function again, but as soon as I save this enabled doc, it loses its functionality all over again.
    Frustrating.
    I did find a work-around on a forum, but have only gotten it to work once. It had something to do with closing and saving the document, then reopening it before entering the calculations.
    Is there a clear-cut solution to this problem? The forums were rife with people experiencing the same frustrations.
    Thanks ahead of time for your assistance.

    Nathan,
    It's fairly straighforward to set up a custom validation script for this, but it might not be immediately obvious how to do it. I'll use your form as an example. In it, you have a number of rows with a Quantity field where the user enters how many items are needed, a Price field that has as its default value the price for the item, and a Total field which is a calculated field and should be the product of the Quantity and Price fields. The only variable in the calculation is the value of the Quantity field, so this will be easy.
    The Validate event of a field gets triggered when the field value is committed. This happens when the user enters a value and presses Enter, Tab, clicks outside of the field, etc. What the script should do is take the value the user entered, multiply it by the value that's in the Price field, and set the value of the Total field. The script could look something like:
    (function () {
        // Get the value of this field, as a number
        var qty = +event.value;
        // Get the value of the Price field, as a number
        var price = +getField("PRICE.0").value;
        // Calculate the total
        var total = qty * price;
        // Set the value of the Total field if not zero,
        // otherwise, blank it out
        getField("TTL.0").value = total ? total : "";
    What you really should do, however, is set up a document-level JavaScript (Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts...) that contains a function you can call from the QTY field of each row. The function will determine which row should be affected based on the field name that triggers it. Something like:
    function calcTotal() {
        // Get the row number from the field name
        // of the field that called this function
        var row = event.target.name.split(".").pop();
        // Get the value of the field that called this function, as a number
        var qty = +event.value;
        // Get the value of the Price field, as a number
        var price = +getField("PRICE." + row).value;
        // Calculate the total
        var total = qty * price;
        // Set the value of the Total field if not zero,
        // otherwise, blank it out
        getField("TTL." + row).value = total ? total : "";
    Than all you have to place as the custom Validate script of each of your QTY fields is the following:
    calcTotal();
    Also, make sure that you remove any calculations that you've set up on the Calculate tab of each TOTAL field. Now that the total fields do not rely on automatic calculations, it does not matter that the document is missing its field calculation order array, though this bug REALLY needs to be fixed. You should consider reporting it to Adobe. I will report it too.
    Note that this code assumes the QTY and PRICE fields are numeric fields, meaning they will either be blank or contain a valid number. You've ensured this by setting up each with a Format category of Number.

  • Convert to a PDF/A-2b w/ "Enable Commenting..."

    Hi,  I work for an Illustration company & we are trying to understand how to get a certain kind of PDF. 
    1)  We use Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.0.2 to create .ai file type illustrations.
    2)  We export the file as a PDF to simplify (make it smaller also) the deliverable for our client.
    3)  We then open the PDF version in Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0 to "Enable Commenting & Measuring..." Our client needs this in case they would like to mark it up in Adobe Reader.
              The problem is now our client would like the files to be a PDF/A-1b  type.  It is my understanding that PDF/A-1b can not have "Enable Commenting & Measuring..." So they will let us deliver a PDF/A-2b  & it is my understanding that this version can have "Enable Commenting & Measuring..."  (We would just have to change the preference in Adobe Reader to allow it)
              My question is how can I easily get a PDF from Adobe Illustrator CS5 converted to a PDF/A-2b with "Enable Commenting & Measuring..." with out any errors?  If you know how this is done & could show us we would be very grateful.  We could do this through email, phone, Skype, whatever would be easiest for you.
              P.S.  If you can not show us, is it possible to point us in the right direction?  Thank you.

    Do you have any idea when this will come out?  Plus do you know what I need to do to get a PDF from Illustrator CS5 to a PDF/A-2b?  I have tried many ways but aleays get this dialog. 
    Then when I look inside Preflight I get this but I do not understand it.
    Any clues?

  • Want to create an add-in/webpart that can enable comments for each day in TimeSheet

    Hi,
    Want to create an add-in/webpart that can enable comments for each day in timesheet.
    I need help how can I achieve that programmatically.
    Regards,
    Mehar

    Hi,
    I already developed this kind of customization. The system offered the possibility to clic on a cell (Project Center, or My Task, or Timesheet), to input a value to store in a custom field, or in a database.
    After clicking, a Popup with different textbox, etc...is displayed:  it is possible to put values, comments, or whatever.
    The benefits is that with this method, you don't have to redevelop the complete timesheet grid, which would be really complex.
    Instead of that, you develop a part of javascript code, which displays a popup containing asp.net code. From the aspx page, you can make what you want: modifying the value of an task/assignment customfield for exemple.
    To start, you can search for the Project Server 2010 SDK, Customize Project Center: it would be a good start point.
    In case of big difficulty, ask again here, and we could get in touch to give more explanations.
    Hope it helps,
    Sylvain

  • My Macbook Pro purchased Dec 2011 has suddenly become very slow after not using for 2 weeks (close to frozen). What is the problem and how to solve it?

    My Macbook Pro purchased Dec 2011 has suddenly become very slow after not using for 2 weeks (close to frozen). What is the problem and how to solve it?

    Need Help Ye,
    boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it still very slow?

  • Enabling comments for Acrobat Reader

    My reviewers are running Reader 9 (we have tried 8 also) and are unable to see the comment bar and therefore cannot review my pdf I sent( via email). In the document properties, when viewed from Reader, it shows commenting is not allowed.  I am running Acrobat 9 and I understand that I have to use the Enable analysis and Review for Reader from the Comments menu. Problem is, that option is not in the menu. How do I enable the menu option for my reviewers to be able to make comments?
    thanks,
    Kelly

    You can find the option in Comments menu (Acrobat->Comments menu->Enable for commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader) after opening the PDF file.

  • 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!

  • Enabling Commenting in Reader 9

    Can anyone help me with this, I think I am just being a bit slow but I would like to be sure.
    I want to allow colleagues to review a PDF document generated using the 'Save as' PDF command in Word 2007.
    The PDF Document Properties show that commenting is 'Not allowed', but I don't know where to enable this feature, or if I need to sign up to another tool or somoething in the Adobe website ?
    If anyone can shine some light on what I am trying to do I would be very grateful.
    Many thanks
    Sean

    Hello Bernd
    Thank you for responding so quickly, unfortunately I don't have Adobe Acrobat. I only have Word 2007 to create the PDF and Adobe Reader to display the final product.
    From your response, I guess the review and commenting features are only supported in Adobe Acrobat ?

  • Failed to enable documento for Reader

    Hello again,
    I just finished doing a fillable PDF with Acrobat 9 and I need to save it as a fillable PDF that can be saved.
    Thus I go to Advanced and clic on Enable Reader users to save form data, but I get a popup error that said "Impossible to save document for Reader" [I am using the Italian version of Acrobat and I translated this error - it may be different in the English version]. No code error is displayed nor a Help link.
    One thing worth mention: when working on this document, I often got the error 14 - Impossible to save the document.After trying another 2 or 3 times the document was saved correctly.
    I tried this solution: http://blog.stronico.com/2009/12/how-to-fix-the-adobe-acrobat-save-as-error/  with no luck.
    Please help!

    I embedded all the fonts in Word 2007 (Word button > Options > Save > Embed only the characters used in this document    - see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/embed-true-type-fonts-in-word-and-powerpoi nt-2007-documents/ )
    Then I saved the Word file as a PDF.
    I opened the old PDF and replaced all the pages with the new embedded PDF, but I still have the error 14 when saving (on the third attempt it saves the PDF, anyway) and I am still unable to save the PDF with extended accessibility.
    Plus, Acrobat crashes....
    Please note that the fillable PDF opens and displays correctly in Reader.
