Use of Comments & Markup Highlight Option

When I use
the highlight option, the text is outlined in a dotted line instead
of over coloring. On another computer th
at I use, the highlight is the normal fill in. How do I get the highlight to fill in for eas
ier notification?

Update...My monitor died a couple of days after posting the forum note. Upon replacing the monitor with a new 20" LCD, the problem miraculously disappeared. The issue appears to be hardware related, not software!

"Stamping " PDF documents using "Tools / Comment & Markup"

I used to be able to "stamp" PDF documents using "Tools/ Comment & Markup/ Stamp", then PDF the document, and the stamp became part of the document.
Now it is not "saving" the stamp. It stamp no longer shows on the PDF'd document after I run the "PDF"
Any ideas anyone?? thanks much

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF's and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools Comment

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and I had to reload it on my computer due to my hard drive crashing. Now I can only open and view PDF’s and I cannot edit them as I could before such as using Tools>Comment&Markup or Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Text Tool. All the functions are greyed out. Please advise.

What's your OS? Acrobat 8 is not compatible with any modern OS.

Creating Electronic Binders Using PDF Portfolio - Commenting and Highlighting

For a few years now I have been using Portfolios to create electronic versions of binders. Users want to be able to review, search, highlight and comment within the PDFs - and each have a copy with their comments. Security is also a big deal. My main question is: Is using Adobe Portfolios the best solution for making an electronic binder, or does Adobe or another vendor offer a better one? Recently I saw a product called GDoc Binder that looks promising. For now using the Portfolios is the best solution I know of.
Problems with the current solution: Right now I have to create multiple copies of the document to allow users to comment and highlight on their own copy. File size can be problematic - if it's too big searching can take a long time even after I index the file. Updating and adding sections is problematic since if you update a page or file you could lose their comments, and so I have to update multiple copies of the same file. I know you can export and import comments but that can be complex/time consuming. One question I have: Is there a search and/or report on comments and highlights from the full Portfolio rather than just one at a time?
Since Adobe Pro X I have had to use a custom template from PracticalPDF.com to recreate the list navigation of Adobe Pro 9. I did see another post saying that the use of Flash with Portfolios mean that it's day are numbered. Question: I am curious if this is true, and if Portfolios using Flash are becoming obsolete, what Adobe Pro would use for an alternative?
Thank you in advance for any insight and answers - it is greatly appreciated.

Want to use Reader Extensions for highlighting and adding comments

Hi,
The basic use for which we plan to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions is for highlighting and adding comments.
In a J2EE application, we create PDF document at runtime using (PDFBox). The purpose to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions is when the end user sees the PDF created he/she should be able to add highlights and add comments to the PDF document and save it back to server.
The question is what all I need to do. Just install Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions on the server. What should be done specifically when the PDF is created using PDFBox? Add any information to the PDF so that when PDF is viewed by the user he/she can add comments or highlight.
Can I get sample application and I also need Developer Guide. I think Developer guide comes with the setup? Did not find any place where I can down load a demo setup of Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
Can you please guide me in the right direction? I am collecting more information as I search the internet and go through the forum, but it will be very helpful if someone can give correct information.
Thank You.
Regards,
Jay Chandran.

Hi,
I was reading Adobe Reader SDK document (Acrobat_SDK_overview.pdf), in that it is mentioned under
About rights-enabled documents:
You cannot programmatically rights-enable a PDF file.
Well I am confused, because my requirement is like this:
1. PDF is created using (PDFBox) as part in a J2EE application.
2. After the PDF has been created, from the J2EE application, the PDF will be send to LiveCycle Extensions to right enable it. (There is no user interface, and it is planned to be done programatically using Adobe libraries. The PDF will be send to LiveCycle Server and Right Enabled PDF will be returned.)
So if there is no way to "programmatically rights-enable a PDF file", how can it be done without having an web interface?
Just to confirm, PDF can be prgramatically right-enabled using LiveCycle libraries right? I have to right enable PDF files prgramatically and not using LiveCycle web interface.
Thank You.
Regards,
Jay Chandran.

Missing Comment & Markups Toolbar in Acrobat Pro 8

I had Acrobat Pro 8 (version 8.2.1) intsalled on my machine last week. I had been using Pro 7, but due to problems with it my IT folks upgraded me. At first, all was well. However, two days ago I went to highlight a document and the highlight tool was missing (I had made shortuts to it and other frequently used tools). Per Pro 8s' Help:
You can use the Highlight Text tool, Cross-Out Text tool, and the Underline Text tool to add comments by themselves or in conjunction with notes. The Cross-Out Text tool and the Underline Text tool don’t appear in the Comment & Markup toolbar, by default. You can add a highlight with a note or cross out text by selecting the text using the Select tool or Text Edits tool or and choosing that option from the menu that appears. However, if you’re marking up a lot of text, the specialized tools are faster and easier to use.
Choose Tools > Comment & Markups, and select the Highlight Text tool , the Cross-Out Text tool , or the Underline Text tool...
Comment & Markups doesn't appear in either View>Toolbars or Tools. Anyone have any ideas where it's gone to?
Thanks, kratsmit

Yes, it's sitting in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins. Reader's version's at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\plug_ins. I have a theory, but not sure it's accurate.
As I mentioned earlier, I was having trouble with Pro 7, which is why IT installed Pro 8. However, they didn't bother uninstalling/rebooting the machine before Pro 8 was loaded, which is something that I always do on computers where I have Admin rights. I'm wondering if this latest Acrobat problem is in some way related to earlier issues that I had with 7...?
I'm going to try to see if Acrobat will do a repair with my limited rights and then restart the machine. Will post afterwards what I find.

Export comments AND highlighted text?

I know there are several options for exporting comments associated with highlighted text in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but is there a way to export both the comment AND the highlighted text?
Thanks.

Hi,
Any of the annotations on the Comment & Markup toolbar (including those not place with defaults but available via "More Tools") can be exported to a separate PDF file.
Use Summarize Comments or use Create PDF of Comments Summary.
In the options dialog that is presented, select 'Comments only'.
Regarding character strings that have the Highlight annotation "laid" over them;
Go into Acrobat's Preferences.
Select the Category "Commenting".
Look over the configuration settings in the 'Pop-Up Open Behavior'
and the 'Making Comments' panes.
Specifically, select "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups"
Cross-Out and Underline can be added to the Comment & Markup toolbar via the "More Tools" menu which is available on the default toolbar "ribbon" context menu.
Be well...

How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

Hi,
You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
Following idea could be your task flow
Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
|
v
Router
1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
hope it helps,
Zeeshan

How do I get more color highlighting options in preview, how do I get more color highlighting options in preview

The new version of Preview on Mountain Lion has limited the colors available when using the annotate tool (highlighter), how can I access more options?

Preview used to allow the user to select highlight colors from the color picker. This is no longer the case.
I have requested that Apple add it back at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html.

How to expose Comment & Markup toolbar without Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab?

Is there any way to expose the Comment & Markup toolbar from within a plug-in without setting Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = true via AFExecuteThisScript()?
I think I have found the correct toolbar and associated menu items using the SDK calls -- AVAppGetToolBarByName("Annots:TopLevelMenuComments") and AVMenubarAcquireMenuByName("Annots:TopLevelMenuComments") -- but cannot I cannot make either the toolbar or the menu item visible.
Please note that I can expose the tool bar by setting "Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = true" via AFExecuteThisScript() and subsequently calling AVMenuItemExecute() on the "ShowHideToolbarCommenting" menu item. However, what I want to do is to implement the functionality of "Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = true" without using Javascript.
I'm trying to do this with Acrobat 9 from a browser.

That's what I figured. What I need to know is what those other things are. More importantly, is what I am attempting to do even possible using the API? Can I expose the Comment & Markup toolbar with enabled buttons via the API?
I've now tried creating my own menubar and add the buttons from the Commenting toolbar. I've had to implement the AVToolButtonSetComputeEnabledProc and AVToolButtonSetComputeVisibleProc callbacks, which work. However, clicking on the button doesn't do anything, presumably because I did not implement theAVToolButtonSetExecuteProc callback. But I want to use the ExecuteProc that's implemented with the native button. Is there anyway to call that ExecuteProc function?
If Adobe considers this a trade secret, then just say so.
Thanks.

Show Comment & Markup Toolbar automatically with Browser Based Review

Hi,
We have a web-based application which displays PDFs in a browser-window for review using a SOAP collaboration. In all versions of Acrobat prior to v8.2, once the Comment & Markup toolbar was set to show for a PDF in the browser-window - the toolbar would always show when subsequent PDFs were opened in the browser-window (as you would expect).
However, since Acrobat v8.2 the Comment & Markup toolbar has to be manually set to show each time a PDF is opened in a browser-window (by clicking Comment > Show Comment & Markup toolbar).
This is very frustrating for users - does anyone know of a way (plug-in or otherwise) that Acrobat can be forced to show the Comment & Markup toolbar automatically whenever a PDF is opened in a browser-window?
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can provide.

Try refreshing the browser instance.

Enable comments & markup

Hello all,
We create postscript files and then have the distiller convert the files to PDF.
A user with adobe reader 9 is trying to use comments & markup to write his comments etc... Just until recently when he upgraded to 9, he can't add comments anymore.
When i create the PDF i dont put any restrictions on it at all, because i never set the security.
I checked the Documents Properties and the "Commenting" is listed as "Not Allowed".

OK, I have a .pdf form.
It was created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.
I open it in Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 and go to "Comments > Enable For Commenting And Analysis In Adobe Reader".
This is the message I get:
"This form is interactive and has special features. To save a copy of it that you can treat as any other PDF file, choose File > Print and then choose the Adobe PDF printer. This creates a PDF file that does not have special features, so you can add comments to it or send it out for review."
So I create this special pdf file and then I open in Reader 9 and voila!
There is no comment toolbar, no way to comment.
Tell us all then: what is the PROCESS to go from enabling for commenting in Reader (using Acrobat) to opening the document in Reader and making comments.
Please tell us what we are all missing here. OR if there is some version disparity that we don't know about.
Thank you!

Where is the Comment & Markup toolbar now?

I have recently upgraded to Acrobat Professional 8.1.2. First time I try to add comments... I don't find the command anymore. On-line help refers to a "View > Toolbars > Comment & Markup" menu which I don't have. Right-clicking on the toolbars I don't find a "Comment & Markup" toolbar listed. Nor do I find any comment related item in the menus. Surely I must be overlooking something obvious.

Bernd and graffiti, first thing I did was to check the on-line help, which states
"You use commenting and markup tools (View > Toolbars > Comment & Markup) to add comments."
Now I happen to have no "Toolbars" item in the "View" menu, hence my posting to the forum.
However, I do have a Comments menu in the top bar, which is in fact the obvious thing I was missing.

When use *"af:inputComboboxListOfValues"* partial trigger option, values no

Dear All,
When use *"af:inputComboboxListOfValues"* partial trigger option, values not refresh correctly.
My code steps as follows :
(Step 1). create as "af:inputComboboxListOfValue" attach a VO to it ...
<af:inputComboboxListOfValues id="lovDescriptionId"
popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.Description.hints.label}"
value="#{bindings.Description.inputValue}"
label="Reason"
model="#{bindings.Description.listOfValuesModel}"
required="#{bindings.Description.hints.mandatory}"
columns="#{bindings.Description.hints.displayWidth}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.Description.hints.tooltip}"
binding="#{backing_pages_MainProfileAction.lovDescriptionId}"
disabled="false"
partialTriggers="soc3 si1 si2">
<f:validator binding="#{bindings.Description.validator}"/>
</af:inputComboboxListOfValues>
(Step 2). In a extrnal event change (say a button click) the VO data of above filted. So as a final case of this button action it should invoke partialTriggers.
But this not working...?
Please be kind enough to give solutions based on this case....
Thanks,
Sagara.

Dear Frank,
From your suggestion I research continued until today.
Thanks for your highlighted point. By that I could resolve about 80% of my problem.
There have to think another small area of regarding my entire problem.
In af:inputComboboxListOfValues only acsept view Accessor or LOV which based on a main VO.
So you say pass bind variable parameter value to ViewCriteria of LOV. I could do this & get filtered data to inputComboboxListOfValues.
But is ther way to pass value to this bind variable by programmatically?
(Currently I could do, pass value to the LOV ViewCriteria via field of main VO)
Sagara.
