Unable to comment with Acrobat 9 Standard

I am having problem commenting on a PDF file that I have received. All the commenting tools are grayed out, and it looks like a security setting that is preventing it. But when I go to Document Properties, almost everything is grayed out and under Security it shows "No Security."
My question is, if it is indeed a matter of security setting, am I able to at least see that security settings has been applied? Where else can I check for possible cause for me unable to comment?
I am using Acrobat 9 Standard.
Thanks!

Ok... Never mind. The problem was how the PDF was generated. My colleague used the Create PDF from scanner feature in Acrobat, and somehow he had the Make PDF/A compliant checked. I guess that took out the advanced features like commenting from a PDF file.
All is good now... Hope this helps someone that just happens to be in the same situtaion. Cheers!

  • I need create a lof of files with the same password with Acrobat Standard 9

    Good Morning:
    I need create a lot of pdf files with password. After I put all files in a directory and with the Acrobat Writer Version 4 selected this directory and the program Acrobat automaticly put the same password in all the files. After as well, I could select files with the same password and changed the password automaticly of this files.
    Now with the Acrobat Standard 9, I don't know make this taskes. My cuestion is "Can I make this things with acrobat Standard 9 or I need other version?"
    Thank you

    Thank you for your help
    Your solution is different from the other members' opinion. ¿Is This option  available in the Adobe Standard ? Because I have not found it in Adobe Standard.
    Your option is with   Edit > Preferences > Batch Processing Security Method "Password Security" and the option of the other members is with Advance > Batch Process.
    I have tried to change some pdf files that had password with Adobe Pro, so I tried to remove the security password from the pdf files, with Advance > Batch Process.
    I created a new secuence with security through  the Option "Whithout Password" but when I executed the secuence, the program showed me a window with this message "OPERATION NO AVAILABLE".
    ¿Can you help me? I don't kown how I can remove the password of this pdfs, yet.
    Thank you in advance.

  • 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?

  • Adobe Reader 8 compatible with Acrobat Standard and Pro 7?

    Our organization has Adobe Reader 7 deployed to all users. Some users also have Acrobat Standard 7 or Acrobat Pro 7. We want to upgrade all users to Adobe Reader 8 (or maybe 9) but do not want to upgrade Standard and Pro users yet.
    I have not been able to find any information about compatibility issues with Reader 8 and older versions of Acrobat, but last time we did an upgrade in similar fashion we experienced issues. Any insight?

    Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

    created by Sara.Forsberg in Acrobat Reader - View the full discussionHi verlaa73828618, It sounds, then, that you can't even open Adobe Reader. Is that correct? What version of Reader are you currently using (and are you on Mac OS or Windows)? Have you tried reinstalling Reader? Best,Sara If the reply above answers your question, please take a moment to mark this answer as correct by visiting: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7446005#7446005 and clicking ‘Correct’ below the answer Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

  • Add the bookmark by coding with Acrobat Standard 9.0

    I adds the bookmark by the Acrobat SDK, the method is OK in the ACrobat 8.0, but in the Acrobat Standard 9.0, it's NOT steady, sometimes it's OK,
    but NOT always.
    My code is as follows:
    ==================================================
    CAcroApp oMainAcroApp;
    oMainAcroApp.CreateDispatch("AcroExch.App",&e);
    CAcroAVDoc oAcroAVDoc;
    oAcroAVDoc.CreateDispatch ("AcroExch.AVDoc")

    oAcroAVDoc.OpenInWindowEx (...);
    CAcroPDBookmark oBookmark;
    oBookmark.CreateDispatch("AcroExch.PDBookmark");
    pAVApp->MenuItemExecute("NewBookmark");
    //Save the file
    ==================================================
    The code refers to the sample of the Acrobat SDK, but it runs failurely.
    How should I revise the code or is there other method to add the bookmarks?
    Please help me as soon as possible.
    Thank you very much!

  • Using the SDK in a C# program with Acrobat Standard (License question)

    Hi,
    we have purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard and installed it on a Computer to edit pdf documents.
    Basically, we delete some pages at the end of document as they contain superfluos information.
    As there is a naming convention in these files that tells us how many pages have to be deleted, we want to use the Acrobat SDK to delete the pages automatically.
    Is that ok or would we need to purchase a special license for the Acrobat SDK?
    Cheers,
    Helmut

    As long as the computer is only performing the task for a single individual (since you only have a single copy) - that’s fine.  It cannot, however, perform this operation for multiple people.

  • Commenting with Acrobat Reader 9

    We're trying to create PDFs that our clients can notate comments on and send back to us for routing purposes.
    Our problems relate specifically to Acrobat Reader 9. Weve tried creating PDFs from InDesign and from a web browser (for our web jobs), but when the recipient opens the PDFs in Acrobat Reader 9 theyre unable to add comments to them, and we cant figure out why.
    Can you tell me how to make comments on a PDF using Acrobat Reader 9?? We use Mac OSX to create the PDFs and all of our clients are on Windows XP to do commenting.
    Thanks!
    -r

    Hey graffiti-
    Thanks for the response!
    We figured out how to get it to work but the method you described wouldn't do it for us. When I opened the PDF in pro and enabled it for commenting in reader like you suggested, our tester using Acrobat Reader 9 still couldnt make comments.
    The only way I could get the document to be accessible in Reader was to open the PDF in pro, choose attach for email review from the COMMENTING menu, and then on step 2 of the process (where you add your email addresses for recipients) cilck on the button to customize review options and make sure the checkbox for allow Acrobat Reader users to comment.
    Not sure why it wouldnt work the way you outlined... Certainly seems logical that that your method should work also.

  • Unable to save a document after signing it in Adobe Acrobat Standard XI.

    I have a user who is unable to save .PDF files that he is opening in Outlook via an embedded link in the email.
    When he clicks on the link, Acrobat opens the document without issue. However, when he applies his signature and goes to save it over the existing document on our internal network file server, he gets the following message: "The document could be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk."
    The network drive has a significant amount of space available, at least 500 gigs.
    This was not an issue up until Friday of last week. Prior to Friday, he had no issue signing documents emailed to him that contained a embedded link pointing back to the file on our internal network file server.  If I have him browse directly to the file in Windows Explorer however, he can open sign the document and overwrite the existing copy.  While that works, I would like him to regain the ability to save his file after opening it from his email; as unless I show him how to get to the file directly via Explorer, he is unable to do so. (And he has to sign many documents a day as well)
    Other users on my network are not encountering this issue, however some are running a different mix of Office and Acrobat. (Such as Office 2010  and Acrobat X, etc)
    I've researched this issue for prior versions of Acrobat and tried to applied the same resolutions for this issue without a positive result. So far I have been unable to find any solutions for this issue dealing with XI. 
    Has anyone else run ino this issue with Acrobat Standard XI? If so what did you do to resolve the issue? Thank you for any help that you can give me.
    Here is the basic setup that his computer is running:
    Windows 7 Profesional 64 bit
    Microsoft Office 2013 Professional
    Adobe Acrobat Standard XI
    Internet Explorer 9
    Also my user is has full Admin rights to his workstation and has the appropriate security rights to the folders he is trying to save the signed document to.

    I would like to confirm the exact same message is happening with us.
    Several users have been receiving the error message shown below when trying to save PDF’s to their desktop or other server.
    We are experiencing the issue with earlier versions of Acrobat (8 & 9) as well.
    This is only started happening this week?

  • Unable to associate PDF files to Acrobat Standard 7 after latest reader 9 patch

    I am unable to
    make PDF files open as Acrobat standard 7 as my default PDF viewer. I have tried to right click open with, more, browse to acrobat standard 7 folder, coose acrobat program, then open. The acorbat standard 7 program never gets listed in the other programs list. I have also deleted the pdf file type extension and browsed over to Acrobat standard 7 folder and chose program and it still opens in Reader 9.  The one bright sopt in all this is I still have the right click open with Acrobat Standard 7 listed.
    My users want to just open PDF attachments from outlook without having to save the PDF's first to thier hard drive, open with acrobat standard 7, then save them again, then reattach to to email and foward on with approval stamp. This is on at least 2 machines, an Xp and Vista machine.

    OK Here is my fix.
    I reran the Acrobat Standard 7 install from control panel and chose to "Repair" the installation. After rebooting I could just double click on a PDF and it opens up in Acrobat Standard 7.

  • Acrobat Standard 6 and Reader 9: Outlook opens PDF with Standard

    Background: We have one PC with Acrobat Standard 6 serving well enough for creating PDF's, but we also have Reader 9 installed on that machine to open certain newer-format PDF's that we download or that are emailed to us.
    Issue: Reader 9 opens PDF's on the hard drive and PDF's online via either Internet Explorer or Firefox (so the Windows file type associations seems to be OK), but Outlook Express persists in opening PDF email attachments with Acrobat Standard 6.
    Anyone know how to fix this? (I'm fine with making changes to the Registry if that will do it.)
    --John Hupp

    I'm having a similar problem and am totally frustrated.
    I have an old version of acrobat reader 5, but today I downloaded reader 9, but when I click on .pdf files online, I get the same message saying that I need reader 8 or 9 to open files on the web.... which I have!
    I went in, after reading this thread, and made sure my 5 had the "display PDF in browser" UNCHECKED, and that it WAS checked in 9... but still no dice. For a few years now I've been unable to just click on and open pdf files online, and have been going a long route around by right clicking pdf's, clicking on "save target as", saving the files to my desktop, then opening reader 5 and going to file, open, and opening the file. What a huge pain in the butt though... all I want to do is be able to click pdf files and open them in my browser!!
    Oh, and another bizarre thing that has happened is that since installing reader 9, all the icons on every pdf file on my computer has changed to the icon windows uses for files of an unknown type. Can't figure out why since when I double click any of these files, they open right up in reader 9.
    I'm beyond irritated with trying to figure this out, so I'm open to any suggestions anyone has!
