PDF Proofing Problems in Acrobat Reader

I have initiated a PDF Review for Comments and Markups in Adobe Acrobat Pro. My reviewers all have Adobe Reader and when they open the document, they are able to view it, but not able to comment and mark it up. They can't even access the Comment & Markup toolbar. Is this a function of the fact that they are in Reader and not a version of Writer? I was under the impression that when you are invited to a review, it would give you the tools needed to complete that task. Any thoughts/suggestions/help or insight would be much appreciated. This is probably a novice question, so I apologize for the elementary nature of it. 

The reviewers must use Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader 7 and higher.

  • Collation problem in Acrobat Reader X

    I have a collation problem with Acrobat Reader X and HP LaserJet M2727 nf (using HP Universal Printing PCL 6 driver)
    When printing multiple copies of a PDF, the result is always in the order 1,2,3 1,2,3 etc. (for a 3 page document for example)
    This is the case even when I uncheck the default collate option.
    How can I disable the collation option in this version?
    Thanks,
    Eran

    HELP!  This is a killer problem.   Everyone is banking on PDF documents and Adobe Reader.  YOU CAN NOT IGNORE THIS ANY MORE!
    There was a registry setting in Reader 8 to force host collation.. it doesn't work any more.  Please respond immediately !!!!

  • Problem with Acrobat Reader Browser Control (LoadFile)

    Hi
    I am trying to use the Acrobat Reader Browser ActiveX Control to show a PDF file in a window from my application but I am finding a problem. It all works fine, unless I have the exact same PDF file open in Acrobat Reader at the same time. If I have the exact same PDF file open, the Browser Control appears to completely fail when I tell it to LoadFile. No errors are raised, but the control simply appears as a white rectangle with no controls at all. In fact, it is the same appearance that it has if you don't call LoadFile at all.
    I have Reader 9.3.4, I am using VB6, I have drawn an instance of the control at design time. I am only calling LoadFile, like this
    Private Sub Form_Load()
        AcroPDF1.LoadFile "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    End Sub
    I have read the OLE parts of the interapplication developer guide and the interapplication communication api reference and I can't see that I am doing anything wrong.
    Can anyone help? Is this perhaps a known problem in Reader?
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    Hi everyone,
    I have found a workaround, inspired by another post about LoadFile problems. Rather than LoadFile I am now using the "src" property of the control. This works even when the PDF file is open in Acrobat Reader. My code is now
    Private Sub Form_Load()
        AcroPDF1.src = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
    End Sub
    I don't understand why this should work, but it does.
    Thanks
    Mark

  • PDF Documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0

    Which version (Standard, Pro or Ext Pro) of Adobe Acrobat 9.0  family should I buy to create PDF documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0 ????
    Is it possible to create PDF files from HTML and navigate through the links ????
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your answer.
    Related to my first question (compatibility with Acrobat Reader 5.0), how should I save the PDF created ????  Saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0 with standard save option makes the document not readable by Acrobat Reader 5.0.
    Should I save the document as PDF/A, PDF/X or any other subset ?????  If so, I'm not sure if they are included in the Standard.
    Thank you in advance.

    can I batch print PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader X?  I have tried from Windows Exploer (Windows XP) and it looks like the files are opening but they do not print.

    Very strange!  What is your installed Reader version?
    Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

    There is not modern program called Acrobat Reader. There is an Adobe Reader program, there is an Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Std) program. Which program are you using? Under which OS?

  • Multiple Problems with PDF InDesign, Bridge, and Acrobat Reader

    I create proof books with a blend of Adobe Bridge & InDesign.
    Here is my work flow: I will BOLD the errors I am having and need help with.
    Step 1.) I create contact sheets in Bridge and save them as PDF's
    Problem with Bridge ( I have another posting for this thread as well under Bridge) I cannot save PDF's larger than 400ish photos at 300ppi (important for my printer) without it saving as a blank PDF. COMPLETELY EMTPY! So I have to split up my photos into groups of 400 or less photos then patch them back together.
    Problem with Acrobat: If I patch those PDF’s back together with Adobe Acrobat (a suggestion from another person on here) they save great but I get an error when I try to import them in indesign. The error reading: ERROR. Cannot determine page count.
    Please open the PDF file in Acrobat, do a “Save As…” and try again. (99)
    Step 2.) I use a script (MultiPageImporter2.2.1.jsx) to import the PDF's into Indesign. (if saved as one pdf in acrobat I get the above error)
    Problem With InDesign: I run this importer script in InDesign to create my books with a template I use from my printers. Well since I have to import multiple pdf with multiple pages ( because I can’t piece them together without the above error. Then I have this problem:
    I place a pdf with 1-226 pages in. I start this on page 1.
    I place the next pdf with 1-141 pages in. I start this on page 227.
    An error pops up that says I MUST start my import on page 226!!!!!!!!!! I don’t want to import on page 226 because I have two photos on that page!
    I tried it several ways and no matter what I loose my last page of my first import.
    PLEASE someone help me! I feel like I might be doing something really silly but I’ve spent 7.5 hours today working on this books with error after error.
    I have done all the updates on my computers and nothing works. I use two macs and both have the same errors. I have a mac-book Pro | snow leopard and a Imac | snow leopard.
    Thanks much!

    All your problems seem to stem from the PDFs that you are making from Bridge.  What you are describing should be perfectly possible, but the fact that Bridge doesn't want to make a PDF with more than 400 photos and it all goes downhill from there makes me suspect Bridge.
    Here's a plugin that may help?  Looks pretty cheap for what it does.
    Apart from that I'd try to clean up the PDFs that Bridge is producing if Indesign doesn't like them.  One way would be to print to a new PDF, after you've combined them as necessary.
    As to the last pronlem you mention, where it forces you to place on page 226, have you tried creating a blank page 227 first, before you try placing?

  • Problem in openig some PDF file names in Acrobat Reader

    I didn't test in other versions of the OS or with other versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader, but in Windows 7 Enterprise (with SP1) 64 bit, vith virtual apllications service installed, when a PDF file has in the name the letters CR (caps), tries to open Adobe Acrobat Reader with the VAppLaucher and says
    "Before proceeding you must first lauch Adobe Acrobat and accept the End User Licence Agreement",
    even with the normal Adobe Acrobat Reader already configured in the local machine.
    As soon as I change the name of the PDF file, it works without any problem.

    Hi,
    This bug was fixed with the latest release of Adobe reader i.e. Version 10.1.1 (Please refer to the Bug Fixes section in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.1.pdf).

  • Problems viewing pdfs after upgrade to acrobat reader 8.0

    After uograding to acrobat reader 8.0, employees are getting garbage characters when they open docs created in acrobat 7.0.  Everyone is running Windows XP.  They have saved docs to desktop and tried to open but still no luck... any suggestions?

    Try re-starting Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
    If your Finder functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Let us know.

  • How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

    I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents.  When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
    "The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
    The document is not read only and no other user has it open.  If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes.  I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
    Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
    Best,

  • PDF Opens Fine in Acrobat Reader (Windows), Won't Open in Acrobat Reader (Playbook)

    Hi.  Anyone have a suggestion for a PDF file that opens fine in Adobe Acrobat Reader on one platform (in my case, both Windows Vista and Windows 7), but won't open on another (in my case, Blackberry Playbook)? This is a camera operation manual from Pentax: I have downloaded it from Canadian, US and Japanese websites (different file names, same file size), but always get the same result.
    Here are some of the details:
    1. I can see the PDF file on both platforms, and it's the same size on both platforms (i.e. it's not a copying error creating a null-sized file on the Playbook).
    2. Technically, you could say it "opens" on the Playbook, because Adobe Acrobat Reader launches... but the document reads like a zero-page blank file.
    3. All the other PDFs I've ever used on the Playbook are fine: I have PDFs with hundreds more pages than this one, and they read and open OK.
    I would get around the problem by saving the PDF in a different format, but password protection is preventing me from doing that.
    Any suggestions you can offer will be welcome.
    Thanks.

    Hi Kenneth, I am having this same issue but I am in a domain controlled environment.  What I discovered is that I had to go to the actual exe file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe then right click on the exe, run as local administrator.  Then I got a pop-up talking about this protected mode that I have seen in other places.  I chose to ALWAYS open with protected mode disabled.  Then my reader opened and worked perfectly.  UNTIL I closed it and tried to open it again as my user.  My problem is that I can't even get to the settings as my user to be able to disable protected mode.  It seems the setting change is user to user not system wide.  I hope this helps.  Hopefully though I can get some help on being able to disable protected mode for the whole system.  I currently can't find a registry key...there must be one!!

  • Color saturation problem in Acrobat Reader 7.0.9 under Linux

    Hi,
    I'm working with a guy who is producing PDFs of my work with Indesign.
    Using acrobat reader under Linux (version 7.0.1 and also 7.0.9), the colours in these PDFs always appear very saturated. This is a big problem for me because I cannot see with the reference viewer the results of PDFs to be sent to print.
    I tried the same pdf file under OS X & Windows, it appears OK with Acrobat reader. Other free pdf readers under Linux also show the right colours (but not always the transparency ;-).
    Does anybody has an idea to help me?
    @Adobe people: in case you want to test, I drop a copy of my PDF file at: http://cardot.net/files/pdfcolours.pdf (2.24 MB)
    Thanks in advance
    Jean-Christophe Cardot

    We are able to reproduce color saturation problem at our end. We have noted down and will work on this.
    Thanks.

  • Indesign CS4 button flashes after exported to PDF and viewed in Acrobat Reader/Professional X

    Hey everyone,
    Greetings!
    I've encountered this odd problem when preparing my portfolio.
    I've created some 40 buttons in InDesign CS4 (all according to the official tutorial) to Show/Hide Fields (specificly images), and navigate through the pages.
    The buttons all have their own Normal and Rollover states, but no Click states.
    After exporting the file to PDF, I tested the buttons in Acrobat Reader 9 and Acrobat Pro 9, and both the actions and the states worked fine.
    BUT that's not the case with Acrobat Reader X or Acrobat Pro X.
    The actions are still there, showing the images and navigating, but the states are not!
    The buttons' rollover states just flashes when the mouse hover above them, and even in Normal state, they kept *blinking* randomly.
    Frustrated for a week.
    PS. I suspected and used a Indesign file with only one simple button to rule out the following:
    1. Overlapping buttons
    2. Slow processing due to large image size
    3. Mishandling of transparency
    At this moment I'm pretty sure it's an Acrobat thing...Help!

    Thanks Dave! I was in the middle of writing this when your post came in:
    Not sure if this will help anyone, but I changed the button fill color to white and it seemed to fix the flicker. I exported each state from indesign as a PDF and recreated the button from scratch. This still had the flicker. I'm guessing something strange is happening with the transparancy of the states.
    Glad to hear it's fixed!

  • Open a pdf directly in IE11 (ACrobat Reader VI, Windows 8.1)

    Hello!
    We use Acrobat Reader, Windows 8.1 and IE11 in our company.
    Unfortunately no user is able to open a pdf directly with IE11.
    Instead of opening the pdf there is a popup which asked what to do with the pdf -open, save or saveas
    I couldn't find a way to setup a default action (open)
    In earlier versions it was possible to set the option "open in Browser".
    This option is missing in AR11.
    But why?
    How can i set the deafult action?
    thx

    Hello together!
    the problem was still there, so i decided to modify my search.
    Fortunately i found a technet-post, which described our problem.
    The following solution worked in our enviroment. PDF-documents will now be opened directly in IE11.
    In Windows 7 (also Win8.1!!!!!), there is not the key AttachmentExecute by default. For this reason, Checkbox for "always ask before opening this type of file" is missing in the Download prompt window.
    Actually, you can choose to add this key in your Registry by following txt, Copy them to notepad, then renamed as .reg file. After that, import to Registry.
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000- C000-000000000046}] 
    " AcroPDF.PDF.1"=hex(0):
    Many Thanks to Roger Lu from the technet community support!
