Problems saving PDF comments in Reader X

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this behavior?
I created a PDF from FrameMaker 8 using Acrobat 8. A collegue reviewed the file and made comments using the Comment and Markup Tools feature in Acrobat Reader 9. Later he upgraded to Reader X and commented in the same file again. When he saved the file from Reader X, all of the comments (aproximately 95 of them) were wiped out of the PDF. Operating system is Windows XP, service pack 3.
Is there a limit to the number of comments/markups that can be made? Could this be a version compaibility issue?
Thanks,
Darci

  • HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

    I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari.  I don't have this problem with firefox.

    do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
    If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
    Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
    Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
    Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

  • Problem saving pdf from preview

    Since upgrading to 10.4.3 I have noticed that preview behaves strangely when re-saving pdf files. If I preview a pdf document and the use the "save" function to make a copy, the copied file is about twice the size of the original, and the Table of Contents data seems to be lost. I've noticed this for files produced from the TeX package, such as are on the physics electronic archives (http://arxiv/org). Any explanation would be appreciated! I realise that I could just save a copy directly, but it is sometimes handy to preview first, and I am a little disturbed to discover that preview appears to be changing pdf files unnecessarily when saving them.

    I can't help you, but I'm having the same problem with version 9.4.1
    I have been trying to "save as" some .pdf documents (monthly statements) from a financial institution, but it does not work when I right click on the file, or when I right click on the document.  Like you, I click on the "disc" icon, and nothing happens.  I was able to save these in August and prior, but not now.  It makes no sense.
    When I open these documents, they appear in a web window, not in the Reader software, so there is no tool bar showing "file", "edit", "view", etc, like what appearsw in Acrobat.  I'm stumped.  I posted this several days before you, but no replies yet.  I'm not real eager to pay $39 for the adobe help desk just yet.

  • Problem Saving PDF with Opacity Masks in Illustrator CS3

    I'm having trouble exporting an Illlustrator CS3 file to PDF. I have two layers in the the .ai file that have opacity masks applied. When I save the file as a PDF, the two layers with opacity masks seem to disappear (or they are flattened down to white/100% transparency.) They do not show on screen nor when printing. I've tried opening the saved PDF in Illustrator to investigate, and the layers are still there, but with no opacity mask. Where am I going wrong? I've tried a new file with a simple shape and a simple opacity mask, and it exports fine to PDF. So something is wrong with my file set up, but I can't pinpoint what! I have also tried exporting to various versions of PDF, and nothing works. Help!
    Screen cap from Illustrator:
    Screen cap of PDF:
    Correct (Illustrator) with subtle starburst effect:
    Wrong (Acrobat PDf), no starburst!
    Thanks for looking!

    Not sure what's going on in your file, but it's definately having a problem with the Steaks layer. Trying to release the clipping mask and ungrouping all the layers is having a problem so it might have something to do with the way the streaks layer was built.
    Using your file I replaced the streaks layer and put a starburst that's clipped to the icon shape. I've attached two files. One is for Illustrator CC so you can retain the gradient fill on the stroke which is only available in newer versions of Illustrator. The other has the starburst I created expanded so that you can open the file and retain the startburst look.

  • Problems opening PDF in Adobe Reader

    When I try to open a PDF using Adobe Reader the Adobe Reader page opens but not my PDF. The computer freezes for a few seconds and then the Sdobe Reader page shuts down. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no sucess. If it makes any difference I am using Firefox but I tried Explorer as well with the same result. Please help if you are able.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Adobe forums.
    Are you trying to open the PDF in web browser, or you are trying to open a PDF locally in Adobe Reader application ?
    - please save a PDF file locally and then open Adobe Reader to view the PDF file.
    Please share the result with me, so that I can help you accordingly.
    If you are able to open the PDF file locally, please see the document (to open the PDF file in Web Browsers) : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html

  • Reader, IE8, Win7, and Oracle - Problems saving PDF

    Hi there! I have an odd annoying issue. In short, my problem is that I cannot save PDF's generated by Orace in a browser window on my Windows 7 PC. My Windows XP machine does this just fine. Both are using IE8.
    My work uses Oracle for a good bit of our tasks. I frequently have to save generated PDF's from the Oracle system. The work flow is like this:
    1) Login to Oracle in IE8. Then open Oracle via IE8. This process opens up a Java window that houses the actual Oracle app.
    2) Generate file from within Oracle. This opens another IE8 window in which I can choose the format of the file (RTF or PDF). When I click next it will generate the file...if a PDF it will normally open inside the browser window.
    3) At this point on my Windows XP/IE8 machine, I can click save and a dialog box opens allowing me to choose location and name for the file. On my Windows 7/IE8 machine, when I click save, nothing happens.
    If I change the settings in Reader to dissalow opening the file in the browser (forcing Reader to open), I can navigate to "Save As" and save the file. This just requires several more clicks (and to anyone that has used Oracle, you know that the last thing I need is several more clicks for a task).
    I can print fine, so I can use a PDF printer to "save" the file, but again, this is more clicks.
    If I navigate to a PDF on the web (I used the IRS as a test), I can save just fine, same as on my XP machine.
    I've tried disabling UAC in Win7, doesn't help. I've tried adding my company's Oracle website to the trusted list, doesn't help (PDFs come up in an Unkonwn Zone no matter what I do). I tried manually enabling every item under the security settings of IE8 and it didn't help. I've tried running IE8 as an administrator, didn't help.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I found a decent workaround (not a true solution)...remove Adobe Reader and install PDF Xchange Viewer instead. Its free and has browser integration that actually works correctly. Looking over this forum, it seems that Adobe Reader has a number of problems with Windows 7...I would have thought that Adobe would have their act together better. I guess I was wrong.

  • After saving PDF static files, reader extended privileges (ARES) are lost

    Hi,
    Technical information:
    LiveCycle 7.0 (which came with Acrobat Professional)
    ARES 7.0
    Reader 7.0.0, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2
    Windows 2000
    PDF Static file type (as we are not dynamically adding/removing document objects)
    Scenario:
    PDF contains javascript to change the background and border colour of form fields (e.g. node.fillColor = '255,255,170' changed to '192,192,192') to denote enabled/disabled fields.
    PDFs are reader extended, so, user should be able to enter and save data on the documents multiple times.
    Problem:
    Reader extension rights of PDFs were lost. For example, in Reader, open document, update/enter data, save, and close. Do this multiple times and make sure one of the form fields background colour changes. When the document is re-opened its reader extension privileges are lost and user is no longer able to update/enter data on the document.
    This worked with our pilot forms (using AcroForm and ARES 6.0)
    ADOBE Explanation:
    The underlying XFA document is changed when the form field's background property was changed, hence, it is no longer a static form and its reader extended rights has changed.
    Resolution:
    PDF's file type changed from Static to Dynamic. Some logically driven functions will have to be changed/duplicated (e.g. calling enabling/disabling function(s) from the documents' docReady event).
    Have to use Reader 7.0.2 to be able to open, update, save, and close document multiple times without loosing reader extended rights.
    Hope this helps others
    Regards
    Jen

    Hi <br /><br />I think I am experiencing with similar issue , I am trying to do dynamic form filling using java. For this I created template wtih 4 text fields using adbobe Life Cycle designer 7.0. When I try to populate these fields through my java program, I am getting the below error<br />Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1        at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.x.a(Unknown Source)<br />        at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.x.<init>(Unknown Source)<br />        at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.PdfDocument.j(Unknown Source)<br />        at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.PdfDocument.<init>(Unknown rce)<br />      at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.PdfDocument.<init>(Unknown Source)<br />    at com.cete.dynamicpdf.merger.MergeDocument.<init>(Unknown Source)<br />        at CitiAcroFormFill.main(CitiAcroFormFill.java:26)<br /><br />I think the template had saved with Cross reference .when I use designer 7.0. How do I create and save my template as static pdf templates without having cross reference stuff?

  • Problem opening pdf documents with reader

    We have an hp computer running on windows 8.  It came with adobe reader installed which worked fine until about a month ago.  Since then when you try to open a pdf document on an online page, a message comes up "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader.  If it is running, pleae exit and try again."  When you try to open other documents that have been saved to the computer a message comes up Adobe Reader Protected Mode which indicates that Adobe Reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration.  It then asks if you want to open reader with protected mode disabled, always open it that way or not open with protected mode disabled.  If you choose the open it with protected mode disabled this time, a message comes back indicating Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL.
    We've uninstalled reader and downloaded apparently successfully the version for windows 8 several times, but without any success - same messages come up.  Sound familiar at all?  I don't want to have to pay a computer guy for something that really seems like it should be an easy fix (though I'm not a tech person, so not sure I find too many fixes easy!). 
    Thanks in advance for whatever anyone can offer.

  • Problem saving pdfs

    Any ideas, anyone? I am preparing artwork for big display walls, CS3, and am working in 10% scale. Images are in 720 ppi, embedded so that they will give 72 ppi output in actual size. When saving as pdf and opening the file in Acrobat I get an error message that the file is not pdf compatible, even though it is saved as pdf, and the image is blank. I have often done this before on CS2 without problems. Was ist los?

    The stuff is going to be viewed at about arm's length in a narrow corridor. And there's quite a bit of fine detail so I don't dare reduce the resolution.
    I eventually solved the problem by making the pdfs out of InDesign, placing Illy pdf compatible files. O.k., I get heavy files, but that's what I expected. About 200 MB for a 112 x 170 cm image in 72 ppi with jpg High compression. Like I said, the original was in 10% scale, hence 720 ppi to alllow for scaling up in final output.
    I eventually managed to coax a pdf direct out of Illy by saving as pdf compatible, opening the Illy file in Acrobat and saving from there, but the file was nearly twice as heavy as out of InDesign (398 MB which I knew straight away was ridiculous. I know all about compression for pdf - have done a lot of experimenting and a lot of display work - but this is the first time things have gone badly wrong and also the first time I have tried doing it out of CS3. Never had any problems with CS2.
    Although the problem is "solved" in a roundabout way I am still open to further suggestions. There's definitely something fishy going on.

  • Unwanted duplicates when saving pdf's in Reader

    Compared to other problems, more of an inconvenience -
    but time consuming none-the-less:
    using Adobe Reader 10.1.1
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74):
    when I request to "save as" a pdf,
    Reader will save a duplicate copy -
    to both the location I specify (with a chosenfilename.pdf)
    as well as
    to my desktop (with originalfilename.pdf).
    This has been happening for the last several itterations of Reader,
    but did not happen with Reader version 9.
    Suggestions on how to augment this duplication so that
    only my specified copy, with specified location and filename,
    is saved?

    There is nothing Reader is doing that could be the cause of this. Where are you doing a save as from? Where is the original file? The two possible causes or human error (we can figure out if you are doing something to cause this) or machine error (your hard drive is corrupt with cross directories, this means you need to either erase your drive and restore from backup or try to boot from your hidden OS X.7 Restore partition and try running Disk Utilities.) Let us hope that this is just something you are doing inadvertently.

  • Saving pdf documents in reader?

    I can open and mark on pdf documents in the Adobe reader for ipad, but then when I click save it saves the marked up document over the original. Is there a way to do a save as or rename the document so it does not write over the original?  Also, how do you change the pen color from red?

    Hi Jeljohn,
    Thanks for contacting us.
    Indeed there is way to save as (duplicate) the document. for this you have to tap on Document from left pane, then tap on "Edit" from right corner of toolbar , Select the file/files which you want to duplicate via the checkbox, then tap on 'two file icon'(second from the left). This will create the duplicate file of your original file named as "Original FIle Name(1).pdf" .
    For Rename of the document follow same steps as above and after select the file for rename tap on 'Square icon with three dot' (second from right side/ next to trash icon), This will leads to appear rename dialog on the screen and finally enter desired name .
    for change the pen color from red -> Tap on the comment (drawing) which you made , this will lead to bounding box with context menu, Select color from the context menu and choose the desired color.
    I hope above will solove your all query. Let us know if you face any difficulty with this .
    Thanks

  • Problems saving pdfs in IE "not enough disk space"

    After updating Adobe Reader from 9.... to Adobe Reader X 10.1.23 I cannot save a pfd file opened with a browser, wether using Internet Explorer 8 nor the actual firefox. The error message is something like .." not enough disk space" , what's not right!!!
    I reinstalled 'Reader X - no solution
    I deinstalled Reader X and installed the old Version 9 - saving is no problem!!
    What can I do ??? Thanks..

    when you make a dvd using dvdsp, you need to build it on a local drive before dvdsp can burn the dvd.  So more than likely, .... there's "not enough space" on that drive.
    You should always have a minimum of 10% free space on ALL drives and at least 20% free space on your startup drive.  Having less space can create all sorts of problems and the data on the drive can get corrupted and unusable.

  • Saving PDF Locally from Reader XI

    I created a form with FLOWED content. I sent the form out to be tested and found out that in order for the user to save the form locally they would need Reader XI. We were able to upgrade one user to Reader 11.03 (not 11.06 due to other app conflicts) to test the form and they still couldn't save locally. I tried saving the doc as XML file, Dynamic XML file, PDF, and PDF with reader extensions. The user was able to save the document with reader extensions but the FLOWED content was disabled.
    Is there a way for users with READER to be able to save the form locally AND have the capabilities of the form I created?
    PLEASE HELP!

    Reader Extending shouldn't cause a dynamic form to stop working.  Is there a chance you could send me the form to test?

  • Problems importing PDF comments

    Hello,
    I've read the previous discussions regarding this issue and have not found any answers. I have FM 11 and Acrobat 10. I am not changing the source file after creating the tagged PDF but FM states that the source file has changed and insists on only placing markers randomly in the FM document instead of importing the comments. I work with multiple users and this feature would greatly help our team since converting from Word to Frame and back is nearly impossible. Please help!

    In pre-FM12, even a Save (or auto-save in the background) counted as a change, so you really have to be extra careful if you want to get this working. FM12 has improved it immeasurably.
