Problems with comments-enabled PDF: I can't see my client's comments

Hello,
I really hope somebody can help me.
THE SITUATION: I have a comments-enabled PDF. The comments repository is located on my externally hosted webdav server. Both my client and I have local copies of the PDF, and up until today, my client was able to post comments on the PDF.
THE PROBLEM:
- Today, my client suddenly noticed that the review had "expired" and she can't post her comments.
- I am able to see and post my own comments in the PDF, but I can't see my client's comments in the PDF.
- My client can see her own comments. (I don't know if she can see mine.)
- If I log into my webdav site with FTP, I can see my client's XML file which contains all her comments. I can also see my own XML file which contains my comments, and it is indeed updating each time I add a new comment.
I thought it would be possible to import the XML file containing all her comments into the PDF. However XML is not a format that Acrobat allows you to import!!! It only will accept FDF, XFDF, or PDF!
Phone tech support was spectacularly unhelpful. I seriously doubt "Nelson" from Bombay has ever used Acrobat in his life. He asked me to send the file to him, which I did, but I haven't heard back.
So my question is:
1) How can I get my Acrobat file to view the comments which are sitting on the comments server in an xml file? Why would it see mine but ignore hers?
2) If I can't get the comments to show up, then can I at least import my client's comments, which are currently sitting in an XML file, into my PDF?
bonus question: Why is there so little documentation about dealing with webdav comments repositories? Is it considered better to use acrobat.com instead of our own webdav server or something?
This is Acrobat 9.1.0 Pro for Leopard.

Thanks for your reply, Steve. Yes, she did say that there was an end date, but when I go there, I don't see one. Baffling.
I have decided to go over to her office, create an archive of her PDF, then try to pull those comments into a new PDF.
This is a GIANT PAIN. And egg in my face, after I've sold this client on the ease and convenience of a PDF workflow!
So is there any way to get xml comments back into a PDF???

  • Problems with JFileChooser and Windows 2000 (can't see mydocuments contents

    Hi! I've an applet which has a JFileChooser component. In other Windows, I can select the MyDocuments folder and it goes there and list all the contents OK. But, in Windows 2000, when I go to MyDocuments, none of the contents is listed in the file chooser. I need to navigate through all the directories to get there (C:\documents and settings\user\my documents) and then, it shows its contents, but obviously, I don't want it to be this way because is difficult for the common user.
    Any idea of why is going on this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello, You need to use something like o=isp as the
    root DN, then o=yourorg.com goes beneath it.
    i.e.
    For the other questions on setup, just choose o=isp
    as base DN when you set up the directory server. When
    you run ims_dssetup.pl, choose o=internet as the DC
    tree base, then choose o=isp as the user/groups base
    suffix.
    When you are installing messaging server it will ask
    where to put the default organization, this is where
    you would choose o=abc.com, o=isp
    For more info on how this structure works please take
    a look at this link and it will all fit into place:
    http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6017-10/changes.htm#170
    8Alright, I got ims_dssetup to run successfully. But now when the ims 5.2 installation is about 50% done, I get the message:
    A serious problem occurred while installing the iPlanet Messaging Server Messaging SIE entry in LDAP (msg.cfgldap.sie.inf). It reported the following problem:
    The server configuration for the Messaging SIE entry in LDAP (msg.cfgldap.sie.inf) cannot be created.

  • Problems with filling out PDF forms

    We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

    You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
    It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

  • How to get crop tool in comment enabled pdf file?

    Hi,
    I want to place comments in pdf file using Reader 9. So i opened the pdf file in acrobat 8 and did 'Enable for commenting in Adobe Reader' so that i place the comments in Reader. I need all advanced editing tools. But when i comment enabled Crop tool will disappear. How can i enable crop tool in comment enable pdf?
    Thanks in advance...

    You can't. By enabling commenting, you're adding certain usage rights to the document. In order for those usage rights to be preserved, certain types of changes (most) need to be prevented. If such changes were allowed (and actually made), the usage rights would be invalid and Reader would no longer be able to add comments to the file. So you can enable commenting in Reader, or allow for other changes in Acrobat, but not both with the same file.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

  • Problem with printing a PDF

    Hi All,
    I'm developing a web application written in J2EE that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports from some filters recovered from a jsp and passed to a report .rpt previously designed and invoked just at runtime.
    I have a problem with printing a PDF:
    I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
    with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
    Can anyone help me?
    I wish a great day to You all.

    Hi Ted Ueda,
    sorry for the delay of my answer.
    I understand very well the problems related to security.
    With the following code that I used to produce a report (PDF) at runtime,
    is the PDF created on the server and then sent to the client, or is it directly created on the client as PDF
    from RTF previously realized?
    ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
    String report = report path;
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
    reportClientDoc.open(report, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
    Object reportSource = null;
    reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
    //The method setConnectionProperties() stores all the connection parameters in the collection
    //ConnectioInfos
    ConnectionInfos connInfos = setConnectionProperties(request, reportClientDoc);
    exportControl.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
    exportControl.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
    exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
    exportControl.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos);
    //Single method to pass parameters to Crystal Reports. Using classes ParameterFieldController and
    //ParameterFieldDiscreteValue
    setReportParametersValue(reportClientDoc, reportParameters, subReportParameters);
    ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
    //Set the export format (PDF)
    exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
    PDFExportFormatOptions PDFExpOpts = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
    exportOptions.setFormatOptions(PDFExpOpts);
    exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
    exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
    try {
          exportControl.getHtmlContent(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext());
    } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {
    throw new ApplicationException("error code", ": error message"); }               
    As, however, I predicted in my previous message about the direct printing on the client,
    I read about ActiveX, but I don't know how to use them.
    I read this information in the 'Crystal Reports for Eclipse Developer Guide' about "printMode" attribute:
    "In ActiveX print mode, an ActiveX control is downloaded to the client machine and the report is send directly to the printer...."
    The ActiveX alternative is a java applet that runs on the client and takes the pdf from the server and prints directly onto the clients through the commands that I used in the DOS command line:
    1)     AcroRd32.exe /p /h FILENAME
    where
    /p = print
    /h = hide window
    to print the report and
    2)     tkill AcroRd32
    to close Adobe Reader, because it doesn't end automatically after printing and the command  /h  is used just to minimize the process.
    I hope you can give me advice because I need to print directly on the client. Thank you

  • Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents

    Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents
    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Computer
    I have read all the suggestions and I have tried downloading multiple versions of Adobe Reader for Windows 7 and Vista from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/.
    Prior to downloading each version I would delete the current version using  control panel programs uninstall.
    After each new installation I would shut down the computer and then restart the computer.
    I have tried downloading versions with and without having my antivirus (CA Total Defence) running.
    I am told after download that the version downloaded successfully.
    I have read Acrobat Help http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-reader-installation-windows.html and followed the instructions.
    None of the above has helped.
    The problem is no matter what version of Adobe Reader I download, I cannot seem to open a PDF and read it. Nor will the Reader itself stay open.
    1. If I try opening the reader from the desktop link or from the actual program menu, the reader opens for about 5 seconds and then closes of its own accord. If I try to click on any of the reader menus (eg File, Edit, View, Window, Help, Tools) then a warning bell is sounded and the menu does not open. Shortly thereafter the reader closes.
    2. If I try to open the reader by double clicking on a PDF document then the reader opens but the document is not shown (only the grey PDF reader screen is shown) and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
    The desktop shortcut shows as the 'red Adobe Reader icon'. But the actual program menu icon shows as a blank folder icon.  All PDF documents show as the PDF Adobe icon.
    I have tested various PDFs and none will open on this computer but they will open on other computers.
    I have created a word document and saved it as a PDF. It looked like it had save correctly (has the appropriate icon) but when I try to open it as per step 2 above then the document is not shown and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
    Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix this?
    Could you please answer in this forum and email me at [removed]
    I am so puzzled and frustrated.

    Thank you so much this did the trick.
    I spent so many hours on trying to sort this out and your answer was so  simple and clear.
    Regards

  • Problem with opening of PDF in my webmail application

    I have a problem with opening a pdf file in my webmail application of my internet provider in apple safari since yesterday. When I wanted to open up a pdf file I got a pop up message to allow a connection between adobe and the webmail application which I did. Since then I can not open up a pdf file. If I go to another browser or if I use email from another internet provider I use too it works and I can open up. It seems to be a blockage of the specific combination of this webmail application and safari.
    What can I do ?
