Default Note Velocity for a Newly Placed Note (User Tip)

When placing notes on the piano roll, it seemed like I had no control over the initial velocity. If I have the velocity slider set to some value, it can change to some other unseen value when I place a new note. So now I think I have figured out a workaround for this bug.
To set the default velocity:
1. Find a note, any note, and change its velocity to the desired default value.
2. Move the note on the grid, either in note value or in time. This will change the default. If you do not move the note, then the default velocity will/may not change.

As far as I know you should be able to select all the notes (I would do it in the "piano roll" view) and change the velocity. (Although I don't know why you'd want to. I think you'd lose the human element. Some sounds may be different but It's usually recommended to vary the velocities since no person can play with the exact same "velocity" note after note. Although I guess if you're doing techno or something you might want it that way).

Sticky notes for user sometimes are huge amongst other errors acrobat 9.5.5... repair did not fix

The user writes:
Hi,
Lately my PDF has been having small issues when I use it in engagement. Work paper references come up either giant or tiny. If I want to leave a "sticky note" it comes up as giant and then if I try to click on it to write in it its super
zoomed in and I can't even see where I would write, sometimes work paper references want me to do this too. When I try to resize tick marks they will also sometimes zoom in as a comment section. Today it has been occasionally freezing on a page and not letting
me scroll at all unless I toggle between the fit to screen and show one page buttons- it's like that resets the scrolling. It never used to do this so I'm not sure why it is now.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Dan
Edit: I should add we tested and indeed it's with all pdfs not just ones coming through engagement.

This problem was solved; the above note is just an aid for users experiencing similar problems.

How do I insert the logged in application username programmatically in sticky notes.

We have a multiuser application where different users can access the same PDF document and can add sticky notes,
The application uses Acrobat PDF Control for displaying the PDF content. Is there any option to add the logged in user's username through the program with the sticky notes?

This is forum for Adobe Acrobat issues not some open source project. You might want to contact the developer of PDF Viewer Control with your issue.

User Tip: MBPr + USB issue and how to recover hard drives.

I did want to share this in case someone runs into this problem:
Since I bought this MPBr in June it has "destroyed" my external USB drives on at least 7 ocassions. By "destroyed" I mean this: Either during a "Wake up failure" or ususally after reboot the drives suddenly were not "recognized" and I would get that dreaded "Initialize, Eject or Ignore" screen we all fear. When it happened and I tried all the standard repair tools (TechTool Pro, Disk Warrior, Data Rescue, etc) most often I ended up wiping the drives since they didn't hold much data, the important stuff safely away inside firewire drives not connected to the MPRr.
That was until last week.
A fact checklist:
All the drives were from different makers and different ages (some brand new, some 1-2 years old). Made no difference.
The drives were both powered and unpowered. Made no difference.
The "destruction" would happen either when the computer went to sleep or simply when trying to use a USB hub.
I tried 5 different USB hub models. All of them did the same thing.
To avoid issues, I was reduced to NOT using USB hubs (or even trying) and unplugging EVERYTHING at the end of the day.
An assistant who was not aware of these problems made the horrible mistake of getting a USB hub and pluging these drives which now held VERY IMPORTANT information, some backed up, some which it had not been backed up yet. Almost INSTANTLY all the drives went bad: Unrecognized. Now, I really couldn't get mad at her because - let's be honest- using a USB hub is not "up there" in the scale of "dangeorus activities" in the computing the world, but it left me 3 dead large size USB drives..And they all had the same problem:
When plugged in, the system would simply not recognize them.
Pluging them into an older mac or another mac had the same response.
In a few occassions the drives would actually appear briefly and disappear again. We are talking seconds here.
NONE of the repair tools could fix them: TechTool Pro, Disk Warrior and fdsk were helpless.
Data Rescue could actually see the partitions greyed out but could not access them
After some digging around it seems whatever is happening with MBPr's USB/Mac OSX/Firmaware is destroying the PARTITION TABLES of USB drives. The data is still there, the system simply cannot access it.
Eventually I came up with the solution which involves recovering the partition tables via Terminal using an open source program TestDisk. The name of "Stellar Phoenix Recovery" software also popped into from time to time (which I do remember from the old days), but I could not find an actual example of a succesful recovery.
What you will need:
This program runs in the Terminal with a very basic interface that uses arrow keys, enter and a few letters. That said, if you have never used Terminal or are not familiar with the terminology I suggest you find someone who does.
Get the software here: TestDisk - http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk If everything goes well, this will be the one time you will truly be motivated to donate some cash. The euphory alone will do it. I know it for me, that's for sure.
For my recovery I followed this step-by-step tutorial by Perro Hunter, but BE AWARE that it was written at an earlier date as apparently some of the features that the tutorial mentions as "not working yet" are now.
http://perrohunter.com/repair-a-mac-os-x-hfs-partition-table/
In my case I did not need to go past step 7, which is good because the warning it gives is pretty bone-chilling. In my case the software was able to write the recovered partition tables by itself and then when I restarted....the drives were there. DO NOT IGNORE THE BACK UP AND LOG INSTRUCTIONS. EVER.
Keep in mind that my drives were formatted as Mac OS X HFS+ / GUID partitions. I have no idea how it will work with other types of formatting. The process itself is very fast. if IN DOUBT, just quit terminal and start over (I did twice until I finally figure out what I was doing). Also, take screen shots as you move along the steps it helps.
Needless to say, after recovery use Disk Utility, Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro to get the drives back in shape, and if possible, back up everything and wipe them clean which is what I did just to be sure.
I hope that helps somebody and good luck to you in the process.

Sticky notes in Acrobat X default to off-the-page and extremely large

Hi!
I'm fighting an issue where sticky notes that I add to any PDF will always default to the far right (off of the screen) and they tend to be large (as in, the size of about 2 letter pages). Everytime I add a sticky note to a PDF I must zoom out such that I can see multiple pages on my screen in order to get to the corner of the sticky note and proceed to make it smaller. This is getting unbelievably tedious as I often review 100's of pages of PDF documents and make comments throughout. I've tried deleting all of my Acrobat folders in C:\Users\<me>\AppData but the problem persists. I did not have this issue in Acrobat 7.
I'm on Windows 7 Profession 64bit and am using Acrobat X Standard. I hope I do not need to reinstall acrobat as I will have to get IT invoved to do that.
Thanks for any help.

What is the OS and Acrobat language?

Reader 9.1 won't print Sticky Notes/Comments

I had recently updated my organization to version 9.1 of Adobe Acrobat Reader from 7. I had to perform the reg hack on 7 to be able to let my users print the Sticky notes, but that does not work in 9 and I don't see a setting. How do I get around this? We can view the notes just fine, via screen, but who would have thought, we actually need to print these comments on our proofs from our customers.
Anyway, hope someone has an answer so we can continue on 9 and don't have to roll back.
Thanks.

I'm still getting emails relating to this issue, so I thought I would post an update here...
I've now created a tool for Reader that allows you to print the contents of sticky notes as a part of the original document, without needing the expensive File Attachment right. All you need are the standard Commenting rights, which can be added in Acrobat.
See here: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/06/reader-print-sticky-notes.html

Sticky notes icon position

Is there any way to position sticky notes icon more accurately on the page?
Default anchor point of the note is the center of an icon, not the tip of the arrow below or some corner. Consequently, the icon covers some of the text or small graphics and at low zoom level you can't see exactly which text the note is concerning.
We lose a lot of time zooming in and out on pages with large amount of relatively small text, icons or pictograms and with many comments on it, sent from our customer. Because they have smaller monitors, they see the position of the note a bit different than us and it takes time for us to figure out what they're actually commenting.
This has been a pain in the back for us as far as I can remember.
If there is nothing we can do, let this post be a sort of a feature request. ;)
Thanks,
Tomaz

Thanks. Of course I know the note can be moved.
The problem is, if the icon is on top of a block of small text, the icon can cover 3 or 5 lines of text and you have too zoom in to see which line it belongs to. I can't move it before I see where it belongs.
It becomes annoying if you have 20+ notes on a page and 60 pages of text.
I hope I've explained my problem understandably.

How do I add a User Tip in this community?

How do I add a User Tip? I can read them, but I can't figure out how to add one.

Not sure, but I believe it's level 6 and above.
That's correct

New "SQL Developer Team Announcements" sticky note

In the new SQL Developer Team Announcements sticky note posted a couple of days ago:
<li>Is "SQL Developer Team Announcements" the right title? It appears to be hard enough to get people to read these things anyway, and this suggests that it's either targetted at the SQL Developer Team, or contains information about them.
<li>The SQL Developer Exchange link for Enhancement Requests links to the sticky note, not the Exchange Feature Requests page.
<li>Suggest using "Forum Tips" or some other alternative instead of "Forum Etiquette": "etiquette" too obscure a term?
<li>"When asking a question, provide all the details that someone would need to answer it.": Can these be spelled out? e.g. SQL Developer version, DB version, Java version, OS etc.

Sue, thanks for the prompt attention.
3 sounds good: News, Posting Guidelines, and a FAQ for the rest? (sorry, I'd lump "collateral" in with "etiquette" as clarity goes).
A FAQ with Qs like:
<li>How do I report bugs?
<li>Where do I request enhancements?
<li>Where can I find extensions?
may be the best way to handle the "collateral" as it can retain the same (easily understood title) whilst being extendable to cover virtually anything.
As an example, I think Mark Drake has handled this well on the {forum:id=34} forum.

Sticky notes/comments

I'm having no luck trying to add comments/sticky notes to a large pdf file in a trial version of Acrobat 9.3. I'm assured I have document rights enabled. I can't access the Navigation toolbar. I can't access the sticky note cursor. My email is [email address deleted by host] Thank you. Adrian

Yes,
Adobe Reader does not provided comment & mark up functionality by itself.
It is simply a "viewer".
If a PDF is "enabled" or "extended" with Acrobat Professional (8 or 9) then Adobe Reader can permit a user to make comments.
Be well....

PDF sticky notes

Hello all,
I have a project in which i have to do following things:
1. Open the PDF in the browser.
2. Write sticky notes on it.
3. Extract those sticky notes from the PDF and save it to database.
(meaning there should be some button on the PDF which will ave those sticky notes)
4. Next time when the PDF is open it should be linked to those sticky notes in the same place.
Is it possible to get sticky notes feature on the web browser and also is it possible seperate out the sticky notes from PDF.
Thnaks,
Rohan

George,
Thanks for your reply.
Using FF6 now (FF4? previously), andagainAcrobat 8 (full version).
Yes, Acrobat toolbar appears in browser. Even within the browser, I'm
able to rt-click to choose "Customize," then "More tools" + "Comment &
Markup Toolbar" + check the checkbox for "Sticky Note"--but when I hit
"OK," it just goes back to the previous Acrobat toolbar (without Sticky
Note ). For one thing, if it's
not going to let you select those things, the option shouldn't be
thereat best, the options should be there but GREYED OUTbut that's a
whole other level of usability problem.
I recall having had this frustration long ago, and then spending an
inordinate amount of time figuring out how to fix the problem--which I
did, but I have NO IDEA what was done to fix it. It seems like it was
enabling some feature within Acrobat--like "enable review groups" or
some such seemingly random thing as that. ("Random" to me because I
just use sticky notes to make notes for myself [or other subsequent
readers of the document]; I've never used group review features [or
whatever they call them now, or whatever they used to call them...!)
I'm just a standalone user who just simply wants to put sticky notes in
documents I read on the web, and THEN (with a single click) save the
result locally. (Yes, I know I can save the document somewhere, open
Acrobat, FIND the document, etc., etc., etc.--but what an INCREDIBLE
waste of time that is!!)
I've poked around in Acrobat options, and spent another inordinate
amount of time looking for a solution on the web, but still haven't
(re-)figured out how to fix this problem. Interestingly, my internet
search for the problem almost immediately brought up someone else who
had the exact same problem--but that person was ME!! ...and,
unfortunately, it wasn't a thread that anyone answered.
Am very appreciative of your attention to this issue, and would love it
if you had some insights you could share RE: a solution.
Aloha,

Size limitation in Sticky Notes?

We have a user who, upon opening her PDF in Adobe Acrobat 7, has difficulty opening and editing some sticky notes. I noted that one in particular had a large amount of text, and was wondering if there is a size/text limitation in sticky notes?
Thank you!

Working as designed... MM only does up to 2G. Personally I think MM is complete crap and would never put it on another computer.

Sticky notes in safari disabled?

Hi Everyone,
I'm a new mac user, but am loving it so far. I'm wondering if I have to enable the sticky note function in safari? It's greyed out, and I tried it in Firefox and Word as well with the same results. Any advise would be appreciated...Thanks!
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi,
In general for the Services menu options to work (this is what I guess you're referring to) you need to select some text/graphics before the option is selectable (this is the case with Safari).
The applications in question need to provide some support for the services menu and for Word/Firefox it appears they don't unfortunately.
