Trouble adding comments in new pdf

Just upgraded from Acrobat 8 to 9 PRO.
Frequently, when I create a new pdf (scanned document into computer or "print" photo to a pdf), I am unable to get the commenting tool bar to allow me to add commnets.
This apparently is because the file is protected?
But, if I have created the pdf, how do I remove that protection to allow commenting (arrows, boxes, text boxes, etc.)

Our scanner is Panasonic DP-3010 multi-function machine - high capacity in an office environment.,
My desktop software is set up to automatically save the scanned file as a pdf named by the day's date.
I then open the file and resave it with a name that is appropriate.
If I print a jpg, I open the photo in windows explorer (XP Pro SP3)/ opens Windows Picture and Fax Viewer,  and then "print" choosing "Adobe PDF" from the drop down list of available printers.
All of this is just as in Adobe 8.
I print to adobe and the window pops up with the pdf.  However, the commenting toolbar is not available.  That is the major difficulty that was never an issue with Adobe 7 or 8 but is now my stopping point with 9.  Arggh.

  • Trouble adding comments using Reader X from enabled comments in Acrobat 9

    I am a Technical Writer with Acrobat 9. Regularly I make my documents comment enabled for reader. IT has been updating systems and some of my recipients now have Reader X. Because of the difficulty they have, when they open the commentable PDF they are having trouble adding comments and wind up printing the document, marking up the hard copy, scanning it and emailing it back. What am I doing wrong? Is Reader X not downward compatible? We want to move forward with technology, not backwards.

    Right click the document opened in Reader X and then click "Select Tool".
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks,

  • Trouble adding files with new 7.0

    Ever since I downloaded iTunes 7.0 and the updated 7.01 and I try to add files to my iTunes library from my hard drive it will only allow me to add up to 5 files which is a real pain in the neck. If I am adding a new cd I have to keep going back to "add file to library" and repeating the steps. I never had this problem until the recent update of iTunes. I could add 100 files and they would all make it to my iTunes library. Any ideas?

    No, my hard drive is not full. I am not an idiot. I am far from full. That is not the problem anyway, if you read my post. I do not use iTunes to upload my cds. I use another program because I don't like the way iTunes does it. I add the files from my hard drive to iTunes using "add new files to library" from the file menu. However it will only allow me to add 5 at a time. Very annoying. From the sounds of things they really screwed up with this new 7.0 version. They will never get another dime of my money since my iPod gets a sad face often, won't play, and the only advice I got was "well, you will have to buy a new one, we have a new one coming out in September." Thanks Apple, for making crap products that need to be replaced every 15 months.

  • Having Trouble adding HREFTrack to new video

    Hi! I am trying to add a HREFTrack to a quicktime movie and it is not working!
    The file I am trying to add is formatted like this:
    {QTtext}{font:Geneva}{plain}{size:12}{textColor: 65535, 65535, 65535}{backColor: 0, 0, 0}{justify:center}{timeScale:30}{width:160}{height:48}{timeStamps:absolute}{lan guage:0}{textEncoding:0}
    [00:00:00.00]
    A<http://google.com>
    [00:00:04.15]
    I have it listed as HREFTrack and not enabled in the properties window. I have even downloaded other videos with working HREFTracks and they do not work when I edit them. I do not want my HREFTrack to have a target-- I would like it to refresh the window I am currently in. I have tried to get this working in Firefox 2.0.017 and Safari 3.0.4, neither with any luck. The working videos I have downloaded were tried in the same browsers.
    I have been creating my HREFTrack by pasting the text for the link into my movie at the point I want it to start, then exporting the text as text, re-opening it in QuickTime Pro to make necessary edits, and pasting it back into the correct location in the movie. Then I save the movie as a self-contained movie. The HREFTrack does not work in Quicktime standalone, or in either browser that I mentioned.
    I am having a similar problem adding text links-- although the text links work fine in the QuickTime player standalone version, but not in either browser.
    I am using TextEdit to edit the files, but I have also tried WordWrangler, with identical results.
    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you!

    Come on, guys! Someone must know the answer to this!? Or at least where might be a better place to seek assistance? Anyone? Bueller?

  • IBooks won't open after adding a new PDF

    This topic has been posted before and there are really no resolutions that I can see. I added a 2 page pdf to iBooks and it closes as soon as it encounters the pdf on the shelf. I've tried just about everything suggested. Finally I tried deleting it in finder and iTunes and then deleting iBooks and downloading a new iBooks but it just won't go away. I am SO happy that most of my stuff is on Kindle. I won't use iBooks for anything further. Kindle is great and always there for me. It's terrible all the posts and no help from Apple.

    Hi there Eyes-only, I'll see if I can help you with this problem.
    Try some basic trouble shooting steps first to see if they help the problem:
    • Multi tasking quit iBooks (double click the home button then slide ibooks away)
    • Perform a hard reset on your device (hold down the power button & home button until you see the apple logo)
    If these fail to solve the problem, you're going to have to move onto some more time consuming steps.
    • Backup your device then entirely reset & erase it, then setup your device again restoring it from your backup via iCloud.
    • Failing this, attempt a software reset using iTunes
    Let me know if any of these steps resolve the problem, or get you any further to a solution.
    Kind Regards.
    - Mike.

  • During adding comments PDF got corrupt.

    We have given the PDF to our client created using Export option of Indesign CS5 after that we make them comment enable using Adobe acrobat 9 pro software.
    Our client freelancer used Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) which was updated on 22/05/14 to give comments on that PDF.
    Once again our client wants to add some more comments in the PDF using Adobe acrobat 9 pro. But during this the file got corrupt. Below is the statement given by them.
    "I received the proofread corrections back from the proofreader last week but there were still a few extra corrections to mark on. However when I attempt to mark these extra corrections on the proofs myself and then save it, the pdf immediately becomes corrupt and unreadable. IT were unable to solve the issue but they said that it might be some sort of font error. Could you look into this to see if this is an issue. It might simply be the case that it is a very large file and so it has become corrupt for that reason. I’ve never had this happen before on one of my files though, could you let me know if you have heard of it happening or if you know of any reason why this might happen?"
    We are also trying the same process at our end but there is no such problem face by us. We even try to add the comment in the PDF worked by freelance using Adobe reader XI but everything goes fine.
    We are able to add comment in Adobe acrobat 9 Pro and no file corrupt issue face by us. Is it possible for you to let us know the reason of such problem at our client end. Size of PDF is 178 MB.
    Even in acrobat reader XI we dont face any problem in adding comments.
    Is anyone let me know why our client is facing this type of problem.

    Linda, I'm wondering if there's some "conflict" being triggered because you're using both Win 7 and WinXP --
    Specifically, I wonder if the two systems have off-kilter time stamps, and that's why FM is giving the "newer creation date" problem.
    I don't quite understand what role the XP system has in your test, though -- can you not just use FM == and == make the PDF on the same Win7 box, make the comment on that box, then import the comments?
    Understandably you will probably eventually need to be able to import comments from all sorts of other systems, but for troubleshooting could you try making the full create-comment-import cycle on the Win7 box only?
    If that does work, then you might see of you can set the system time on the XP box to be somewhat slower than the Win7 box, and re-try with the XP box in the mix.
    Edit: changing the system time clock is suggested only as a testing procedure, to see if we can isolate the exact cause, I'm not suggesting that in order to work reliably all your reviewers would need to synchronize their systems :-)

  • Import Comments from PDF to new PDF

    Acrobat Pro 8 - Comments (lines & Text boxes) added to a previous PDF Import rotated 90 degrees. These PDF's are design drawings with comments. The new file is merely an updated version of the design. Need COMMENTS to Import aligned properly.

    I am sooo lost - info shown above might as well be Greek to me! I have tried to follow all the steps to get my info from old computer to new one. Where can I get more detail re the "profile folder". I created one as it stated, but I'm not able to find it again to do the pasting of old info into (ie where it states "open the new Firefos profile folder"). Been at this for hours! Please help...(note, I backed-up old info to flashdrive per one set of instructions). Also, so much backed-up, how do I know what I really need?
    Thanks

  • Allow user to fill in a fillable pdf but disallow adding comments and annotation

    Hi there.  I have a fillable pdf created by livecycle designer.  I want to let users fill in the form but prevant them adding comments and annotatons to the form.  I cannot reset the above requirements in form property - form security if I have already set a password and allowed user to fill in the form.  Can I user javascript to that effect during the document loading?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    If you save the form as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialogue, then the user will not be able to apply comments. They can only do this in flat or static PDF forms.

  • New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?

    0New Zen trouble adding a memory card (not seen)?8I have a new zen 4gb unit and love it, saw it has a memory card slot so i stuck an 8gb sdhc sandisk 3 extreme memory card in there, figured I could dump more fun stuff in there on it but when i use the zen explorer i don't see that card.
    I formatted the sdhc card in fat 32 and named it sd4zen yet when its in the zen and i check my computer I am not seeing the card in the windows menus to drag stuff over onto for the zen nor is it showing in any of the zen media explorer areas.
    Do i need to dump stuff onto the memory card externally (thru a card reader first) then insert it and access that thru the memory part of the zen menu, or are the zens not able to read from an sdhc sd card or is 8 gb too big (compatability)?
    Thanks for any help on this,
    Bill

    I am a dork, a few mins messing with it i realized in the main menu of the zen with the card inserted hit removable disk and hook up via usb, now my computer sees the sd4zen dri've and i can dump more fun stuff for zen on there...
    Sorry to take up space maybe someone will read this and help them with the same issue i was having or mods if you choose just delete.

  • On click of lov new jsp page which has only text area for adding comment

    hi all ,
    please help me to do this task. on click of lov new jsp page should be opend which has only text area for adding comment and upon clicking submit on the jsp page the value entered on the textarea should fall on the text field of lov.
    with regards
    prabhakaran.p

    The only reason I see for such a requirement is "Notes" require more space for entering a detailed note and would be inconvenient to write it in small single-line text input box. But, still in this case, getting the entered text back to the page and displaying it will have the same inconvenience of reading it from that field. And, I still think that removing one amongst the two (text field or image link) would be good, design wise.
    Anyway, did u try the following:
    1. Add a flow layout to the table bean
    2. Add text input and image item to the flow layout.
    3. Attach the notes page as the destination uri for the image.
    Did u start the working on it, let us know how far did u reach so that we can guide you through from that point.

  • Cant save PDF after adding comments

    Is it possible to save a PDF I have added comments to over the original file. The PDF I am currently commenting on is not read only but I get an error when I try save it over the original file.

    I am working in Windows 7. The error I get states something along the lines of " File is currently in use and cant and cant be overwritten, If I enter another file name I can save the file. It could be a number of issues not relating to adobe reader but I am just wondering if Adobe reader allows you to save commented PDFs with the same name as the original document that was opened.

  • Importing forms(FDF) into a new pdf (like you can import FDFs in comments section)

    Hello I would precisely note what I want to do.
    ・I wanted to use the summation function, which I can use in the forms section.
    ・I want to export the form and import it to a different PDF like you can do in the comments section.
    However
    ・It doesn't let me import the text boxes to a new PDF
    Are there any ways that I can import all the text boxes like I can do in the comments section?

    ・Each question has sub-questions (Ex. Q1 having 1a 1b)
    ・I have to add each sub-question's score (Score(1a)+Score(1b)=ScoreQ1)
    ・Also I have to clarify the full mark for the  sub-questions by putting (Ex if the full mark of 1a is 12.  I have to write ／12)

  • Adding a new PDF to the library of books to use in iBooks via iTunes fails

    Hi everyone who is not a beginner at his/her mac,
    I try to add a new PDF file the my iBooks Library using the iTunes app, but this does no more work for me. I looked in the System log and found that there is a problem to put a finder window to front.
    A part of the messages which could be related to this problem are:

    If it's a zip file that just contains the classes,
    then (brilliant insight here) change it's name so
    that it's a jar file. If it's a zip file that
    contains a bunch of documentation and readme files
    and also a jar file that contains the classes, then
    extract that jar file and use it.Do you mean that the only difference between jar files and zip files is the extension name???

  • Adding comments to PDF in Adobe LiveCycle Workspace ES2

    Is it possible to let Adobe LiveCycle Workspace ES2 users to add comments to a PDF document without having to download the document?
    How?
    I have been trying many different ways for the past several weeks, but couldn’t find a way.
    I tried to bring the attachment into a document variable and then using it as the input document for an assign task operation, after reader extending (including online commenting) it in the process. Tried different kinds of PDFs, including documents created from Adobe Acrobat, Adobe LiveCycle designer, static forms, with or without input fields, etc. Nothing seems to work so far.
    Any tips would be welcome.
    Thanks.
    Ali.

    Hi $Nith$,

    Here I am attaching my workflow.
    Here I am entering comments in workspace for this document in reviewer stage.  I want to send this comments along with document for next stage (Approval stage).
    Thanking you in advance.
