Problems sending comments in Acrobat Standard X

I am using a Dell laptop running Windows 7 64 bit OS and Outlook 2010. We use Acrobat Standard X to stamp approvals on PDFs (that are sent as attachments to an email) and then use "Send Comments" to send back to the person that orignated the email. On this one laptop the process had been working correctly. To correct some errors in another program with sending email on this machine, I ran the fixmapi.exe command from a command prompt (this did fix those errors).
Immediately after this the user reported that when that click on the "Send Comments" button in Acrobat, we are now receving the error : Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

So, my understanding is that the Portfolio option isn't available in Standard. Are there any workarounds to accomplish this in Standard, such as saving the documents in another format? Or is our only option to bite the bullet and purchase Pro?

Problem sending email from Acrobat

I cannot send email from within Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I was told it was because I use Outlook 2011 as my default mail program. I was also told that I could send the email from Acrobat through the MAC OS. Do I have to go back to using the mail.app as my default mail application to do this, or is there a way to continue using Outlook as my default mail app, and use the MAC OS for sending mail from within other applications?

I don't think that you can, I switched from Entourage to Outlook and neither of them would so now I use Mac Mail.

"Send Comments" button missing in Acrobat 9

I have seen several other people with the same problem, just wondering if there is a solution. We have Acrobat 9 pro and we need to use the email review collaboration tool. When I send off a document for email review, the recipient person with Acrobat 9 does not get the "Send Comments" button. I have already check to make sure Java was check in the preferences and that all of the extend features and security options are correct. We updated recently from using Acrobat version 8 to 9. This feature worked fine in version 8. I have tried this on multiple machines with multiple individuals and it does not show up under any circumstances. Any suggestions?

I guess I will answer my own question. The problem stems from selections made when installing. Our enterprise edition had access points to adobe.com disabled which is selection option you get when installing. The solution is a simple registry change. The send comments button is present now.
For Acrobat pro 9 users
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\Workflows ] “bEnableWorkflowPart”=dword:00000000 to 1
For systems with Acrobat Reader, use the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Reader\9.0\Workflows ] “bEnableWorkflowPart”=dword:00000000 to 1

Intermittent problem with Email Review for Acrobat Standard 9

We're using the Comment & Mark-up tools in Acrobat to co-ordinate reviews of document deliverables. In the main we're working with Acrobat 8, however following a PC upgrade a colleague is now on Acrobat 9. I should be upgrading soon and may have more information of what's exactly happening then if I also get this problem - however from my investigations I can advise the following symptoms which I'm hoping someone may be able to help with.
The problem is that an email review appears to be successfully set up and is sent via email client, however when the review is completed and email responses are received by the review initiator the 'Merge Comments' dialogue is not available. So far there doesn't appear to be a pattern to when this problem occurs but the majority of the time the process works smoothly with returned comments merged into the original file. In looking into the problem I can see that the docs that have this problem are not present in the review tracker, even though the review is successfully sent by the originator and the recipients have the 'send comments' button available so some aspects of the review have been successfully been set-up but obviously not all.
The workaround is to export the comments to a datafile and import to the original file, but this can be a real grind where a large review team is involved.
Any thoughts on what might be happening or pointers to assist the fault finding will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
John

John,
We need some more information from you on this.
1. After initiating the review, do you see a 'Send Comments' button in the Comment and Markup toolbar?( If you don't see it then go to Comments > Show Comment & Markup Toolbar).
2. Also, could you please provide us with a copy of your Workflows file, for win-xp it is at the following location
...\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Collab.
Please mail the workflows file in this folder to richaa#adobe.com(replace # with @,forum rules).
Also, are you using Acrobat 9 installations that have have been customised for internal distribution. If so, you maye like to verify if any collaborate and/or review functionality has been modified.
Thanks,
Richa

Delete Comments - Adobe Acrobat 9.0 - Problems.

We use Acrobat 9.0 for shared reviews using Lotus Notes. Recently on a shared review we have been getting messages after publishing comments and trying to exit the review. The first one reads.
"There are unpublished comments in the file.
You can publish them so that all reviewer can see them, save these comments as a private draft, or delete them."
With these buttons:
[Publish Comments] [Save Draft] [Delete Comments] [Cancel]
To be on the safe side I select [Publish Comments]to be on the safe side.
Then when I try to exit the following dialog pops up in a box.
"The shared review document contains several comments from other reviewers that have not yet been published to the server. You can take ownership of the comments and publish them on behalf of the reviewers. Your name appears in the title bar of the comments and the original reviewer name appears in the body of the comment.
Do you want to publish these comments."
This dialog has these buttons
[Yes] [No]
I select [No] and so far there hasn't been a problem.
Other times this scenario goes on. This dialog box pops up with the following message.
"You have previously saved this file with unpublished comments. Click Publish Comments to automatically share these comments with other reviewers. Click save draft to keep them unpublished."
With these buttons:
[Publish Comments] [Save Draft] [Cancel]
I select [Publish Comments]. Which brings up the next dialog box with the following text.
"The document could not be saved. The file maybe read-only or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
This dialog box has just an [OK] button, which I choose which brings up
this dialog box again.
"You have previously saved this file with unpublished comments. Click Publish Comments to automatically share these comments with other reviewers. Click save draft to keep them unpublished."
With these buttons:
[Publish Comments] [Save Draft] [Cancel]
The only way to close the document and get out of Acrobat is to choose [Save Draft.
My understanding on how this all is supposed to work is:
Create a document for reveiw.
Invite Reviewers to review.
Reviews post their own comments and publish them separately, without disturbing other reviewers and their comments or commenting.
When reviewers do not know what to do with all the above messages, my phone rings off the hook with what should I do questions, th
at I don't even know the answer to, much less why this is happening.
Then they are able to exit Acrobat.
I am running XP Pro, with three gig of memory on an IBM Think Centere, printing to a Toshiba printer.

I'm having a similar problem with comments posted "on behalf of" (on another post), but I did learn something that may help your problem about saving the file. Before closing the file try publishing comments and then do File > Save first. Then close Acrobat. When I do this, Acrobat does not prompt to save and then force a Save As.
Acrobat does not seem to work as one would expect, and messages presented to the user are not informative enough. Also, I have not been able to find documentation on the various messages that appear, and good troubleshooting instructions.
I hope this is an easy software fix. The concept for shared reviews is great, and I want to use it. But with a 500 page document, 3,500 comments, and dozens of reviewers, little problems waste a lot of time, money and energy.

Acrobat Standard 9.1.2 update problem?

I'm running Acrobat Standard 9 on Windows Vista Ultimate.
Right after installing the Acrobat 9.1.2 update, but before restarting my system, I tried to open a PDF file, and experienced cascading file openings, where Acrobat seemed to be trying to open every PDF file on my hard drive in a separate window. Each window header contains the statement: "Adobe Acrobat not responding." After shutting down Acrobat through Task Manager, I then restarted my system, thinking that the problem was a failure to complete the update installation, but when I just tried to start Acrobat (without trying to open any file), it automatically began opening multiple PDF files again.
At that point, I ran a restore to a previous Acrobat version, but did not restart my system. After the restore was complete, my desktop displayed two Acrobat startup icons, one for v9.1.2 and one for the previous version. I tried to start Acrobat by clicking the previous verion icon, but had the same problem with automatic multiple file openings. When I checked the software list in Control Panel, I found that it only contained v9.1.2, and not the supposedly restored version. Does anyone know if I had to restart my system to make the restore work?
When it looked like the restore to previous version had not worked, I did an Acrobat program repair through Control Panel, and restarted my system, but when I tried to start Acrobat, the same problem occurred. Every time it occurs, I have to shut down Acrobat through Task Manager.
I never experienced this problem until I installed the 9.1.2 update. Has anyone else experienced problems with this update? Does anyone here know the cause of the automatic multiple file opening problem?

As far as I'm concerned, there is something screwy about this whole release. I have used Acrobat Standard since v4.0, and was forced to buy v8 or v9 when I upgraded my OS to Vista, so I chose v9. However, the most important feature to me (besides converting other documents to PDF files), something called FreeText, was replaced by something now called Typewriter. Unfortunately, where FreeText was intuitive and seamless, I cannot view the result of a Typewriter session in my document, after entering new text and closing the feature. On top of that, Adobe tech support seems to have gotten less accessible over the years.
This new problem has now rendered my Acrobat program completely unusable, and for some reason, Adobe's Internet support contact form doesn't even interact with my inputs. This forum has proved useless to me for any problem-solving. Anybody from Adobe Engineering listening?

Acrobat Standard XI - Sending fillable forms to people who only have Reader?

Hi there,
I really hope someone can help me, as I am quite frustrated. I have thought about buying Acrobat for a while but my most recent need is what really encouraged me to buy it --
I want to create an interactive, fillable form for our customers to fill out and resubmit. Although I can create the document with the form fields fine, my co-workers who only have Adobe Reader either can't fill it out, or can't save it once it's filled out, and have been returning them to me blank.
Is there an extra step I need to take to ensure that people who can only VIEW pdf's (such as people with Adobe Reader) can interact with the form and send it back to me filled out? Not all of our customers are going to have shelled out $300 for Acrobat. If this is something that I can't accomplish with Acrobat Standard, then I essentially wasted $300, which is a pretty sizable amount of money. I will not be spending an additional $200 for Acrobat Pro and I will feel kinda duped by Adobe, to be honest.
Please help.

Try67, I appreciate the response.
However, when I go to Save As Other, my only options are "Text" and "Word or Excel Online."
Is it true that I can't save it as a Reader Extended PDF in Standard, and that I have to upgrade to Pro? Seems kind of ridiculous to have to spend an extra $200 for this simple tiny capability.
Any other insight you have would be very, very, very much appreciated.

Having problems download Adobe Acrobat Standard using dell digital delivery.

The dell digital delivery and the dell website are both giving us problems. We have the serial/product key but just need a reliable place to download and activate the application from. Is there anyway to download a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Standard and then activate the install with the serial key we have?

Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
Tdavis710 you may want to try a different web browser. What version of Acrobat Standard are you trying to download?

Problem with recent Acrobat Standard subscription and opening up PDF's

After doing a 1-month trial for Adobe XI Pro, I completed online purchase yesterday (11/8/14) for annual subscription for Adobe Standard.
And now I can no longer open or read any PDFs on my computer. A prompt comes up that trial period has ended and I need to subscribe (which I have done). I did not expect this and am very frustrated. Is there a lag time for processing the subscription, or is this something related to updates of older version Adobe? I have Windows Vista.

Hi create shortcut,
Acrobat XI isn't supported on Windows Vista, so that could be what the problem is (see Tech specs | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro). Although, it sounds like you were using Acrobat Pro XI on Vista, is that correct?
Your subscription is indeed, active. So, you should be able to simply sign in and use Acrobat Standard (but know that Adobe can't support any technical issues that might arise when using it on an unsupported OS).
Best,
Sara

Acrobat Standard XI key verification problem

There is not an option to select Acrobat Standard XI to verify the product key. I read some other posts related to this. I bought the program from the website. I have never purchased a program from adobe before now. I have downloaded reader in the past. I'm also not horribly knowledgeable with all of this so simple fix suggestions are best, Thanks!

As "Test Screen Name" have said correctly this is verification steps to check upgrade eligibility.
Which means you have purchased Acrobat XI standard as Upgrade from the previous version. It is looking for the serial number for the previous version you own.

Acrobat standard 9.0 error while enabling commets option using Java script object

I'm using the below java script code in my VB 6.0 application for enabling commets options in the PDF file
Dim oJSO As Object
Set oJSO = mPDDoc.GetJSObject
oJSO.Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True
It is working fine till Acrobat 8.0. Now I'm trying with Acrobat 9.0 standard edition, it is throwing scripting error 'An unhandled Win32 exception occured in Acrobat.exe[308].
Can anyone suggest the way to enable 'comment' options in Acrobat Standard 9.0 using Java Script Object?
Thanks

I get much the same problem with VB6, Acrobat 9 Pro and WinXP SP3. When I single step the line:
oJSO.Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True
in debug I go to the error handler for my Sub. Inspecting the VB Err object has Number = -2147417851 and Description = "Automation error
The server threw an exception." I get a Microsoft crash notice about Acrobat a short while later.
I've experimented with the JavaScript debugger in Acrobat and you can execute Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True and reference the value of Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab in the console. The problem appears only when accessing Acrobat Javascript through the Interapplication Communication API.
If anyone can help it would be appreciated. I tried Adobe's Acrobat support and they were no help at all.
