The first thing that comes to mind is Adobe Interactive Forms, but since your requirement is way to general, there is no way of telling you how to use it.
So, first read up on Adobe IF to see what it can do for you.

How to enable commenting into pdf files using java?

Hi All,
Is there any way available to enable comments into pdf files through java.

After enabling the comments in pdf file then only we can place the comments and we can the pdf file with comments.

The end user who uses the web application has Acrobat installed in their mahcine needs it only for the purpose of enabling comments in pdf. If this task of enabling comments in pdf is done through my application there is no need for acrobat in such user's machine which was requested as a cost cuttnig measure.
For this purpose, i need to know about how to enable comments in pdf through java api.

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.

Why can I not make comments on pdf files?

OK this has been driving me nuts for a couple years now. I used to have an earlier versison of Acrobat Reader (5.0 maybe?) where I could freely highlight and make comments throughout the document--very easy and straightforward. When I got a new computer I had to go version 9--and now I cannot highlight, undlerline, comment or do ANYTHING at all with the text--on the very SAME documents I used to do this on (and on new ones as well). Commenting is never allowed on ANY .pdf file I have. WHY has Adobe done this???? Do I have to upgrade to some commercial version or what? Frustrated as hell with this huge step backwards that completely limits my ability to find information in documents quickly.

You probably didn't have Reader before, but Acrobat, which is the non-free
version that allows you to create PDF files and to make comments. With
Reader, you can only create comments if this was specifically allowed by the
creator of the PDF. If you want this functionality you will other need to
ask the creator of your files to enable commenting in Reader, or buy
Acrobat.

Firefox or Adobe will not allow downloading useable PDF files anymore. Started with last update of Adobe/Firefox.

For the last few days, I think it was after an update in Firefox or an update in Adobe reader, I cannot save a PDF file from the web and then open it with either Adobe Reader or PDFlite.
The file opens and I can read it just fine within Firefox using Adobe Reader, I guess as a plug in.
But if I save the file as a PDF it saves just fine, with a PDF extension, but when I try to read the PDF file with Adobe or PDFlite it gives an error message - "Adobe Reader could not open <filename> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I download a lot of datasheets so this is suddenly a major problem for me.
Thanks - Don

Hi Don, there might not be an advantage for you if Adobe works well for you. There are some articles on the motivation for developing a non-proprietary PDF reader -- which is definitely a work-in-progress -- but I don't have the references handy.
Let me tackle some of those individual items:
(1) Unknown publisher warning. This is odd, do you notice that with any other downloads?
It might be a feature of Windows download security. By default, Firefox marks downloads as having come from the internet. You can turn that off by turning off Firefox's antivirus integration. Your real-time AV software still will check files once they are downloaded; this feature is really for people who do not have full-time AV, only on-demand AV.
To toggle that setting:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful. This is Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to switch it from true to false. You're done with about:config.
Does that affect the warning?
(2) Where do you see "Save as PDF"?
I have "Save Page As" on the menu. That worked when I tried a simple PDF. By worked I mean it opened without complaint in Adobe Reader. I suspect it's doing the same thing as the download button.

Can't add notes/comments to PDF files with Acrobat any more

Hello,
There was no problem to add comments/notes to existing PDFs up until now:
While writing a note/comment using the Free Text Tool it looks as if it is alright but when clicking out of it or choosing another tool then the text color goes grey/fades out. Both the fill and stroke color do not apply any more.
Acrobat version 5.0
What could be the cause of the problem?
Kind regards,
laanes

What is the version of the PDF. With AA5, that may be the issue with a version that is 5 back of the current version. Many of the newer versions you may be able to read, but will not be allowed to comment on. This is a version issue. See if you can do a comment on a current PDF version from your own AA5. My guess the answer is yes.

TSN,
No, I'm not "subscribed" to anything and I never, ever access the forum by email. No replies ever "come to me". I don't see any "Link", because I don't get any stinking email.
What you may not realize (my American spelling) is that the forums are designed primarily to be accessed through your web browser in the forum web interface. Another disadvantage to accesing the forum by email is that you cannot see any edits to any post, as edits are not broadcast by email.
When I see a reply addressed to me, I always will try to correct any misunderstandings that may arise in other readers of the forum. It's not all about you.

Why won't Reader 9 for Mac allow commenting on pdf v 1.3 or 1.4?

Hi,
I'm using Reader 9 for Mac, and my editor is sending me pdfs that she has given me permission to edit using the comment feature. I have found that when those pdf are version 1.6 I can edit them, but when they are version 1.3 or 1.4 I cannot. Additionally, those pdfs version 1.3 are create by QuarkExpress (not sure what that is) and those that are 1.6 are created by Acrobat Distiller 7.0 fo Mac. Colleagues who use a PC have no problem editing those same pdfs, regardless of version.
Has anyone encountered this problem and /or know of a way to address it?
Your help would be much appreciated.

The ability to enable commenting didn't come out until version 7 so I would imagine that is why they don't work on those PDF's.
Other people may be able to comment because they "may" be using Acrobat and not Reader.

Comments in a pdf file on Surface RT

The new adobe reader XI is great because it allows to insert directly comments on pdf files.
But I'm wonderind if I can be able to do so on the Surface RT tablet.
That's why i'm hesitating to buy the tablet.
Please tell me.
Can I insert comments directly in a pdf file on Surface RT as on my laptop ??

Adobe Reader XI is a Desktop app that supports viewing and editing of comments. It can only run on Intel-based processor PCs/laptops/tablets.
What it means to you:
* Microsoft Surface with Windows RT (currently available for purchase) or other ARM-based processor tablets
You will not be able to install and run Adobe Reader XI to view or edit comments. However, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer) to view and edit comments, instead. Compared to Adobe Reader XI, Microsoft Reader's commenting feature is somewhat primitive and limited.
* Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro (coming February 9, 2013) or other Intel-based processor PCs/laptops/tablets
You can install and run Adobe Reader XI to view or edit comments.
Adobe Reader for Windows 8 Tablets (Windows Store app) does not support viewing and editing of comments yet as of this writing. But we are working on adding the support in the near future.

What happens (or can happen) when connecting to a website from a pdf file?

(Part of this post was copied from a question I posted earlier, to which I received two correct answers)
I'm working with WIndows 7 Home Edition. I downloaded a pattern in pdf. One of the first times I had the document open, I saw a little message, asking me to allow the document with the website it came from. At that time I didn't want that to happen so I answered 'do not allow' (or words to that effect).
I'm working with Windows 7 HE, Adobe Reader v.10.1.1
I have now changed my 'do not allow' to 'allow' so the pdf file can connect with the website I downloaded it from. But I'm curious: what is or could be the purpose of that connection? Anything I have to be worried about? And from whom does that request come? The Adobe pdf file, or the website where I downloaded it from?
THanks!
Ciske.

"There are a number of things within a PDF file that can request data from a webserver, or post data back to one, but they can only be triggered by the PDF file - not the server.
A form can submit completed fields to the server, and read a response message (e.g. to confirm the data is correct)
A rich media annotation (Flash, video or audio) can download content from the server instead of embedding it in the file
Scripts within a specially-written PDF file can communicate with a server using protocols such as SOAP, to retrieve data (e.g. to look up information in a remote database)
There's no immediately-obvious way to tell exactly what information is being sent or received unless you inspect the PDF in some detail; but because of the security models used by Acrobat and Adobe Reader, files which communicate with a remote server cannot read or write data from your own computer without your interaction - so they cannot secretly upload files, passwords, etc."
Thank you very much for your explanation.
I understand the three points you explaned. It is just hard to apply them to the kind of pdf file I am referring to. But I don't know anything about adobe reader, and that may very well be the reason for my lack of understanding.
The file is an explanation, a pattern of a craft project, with extensive drawings to help understanding the directions. The website has many patterns (all pdf files) of the very same kind available.
I believe I understand your explanation, but again, it is hard to imagine why a simple pdf file like the one we're talking about would need to connect with the website it came from. But then again, I know NOTHING about pdf files.
So, in my simple mind, I felt I had to deny permission to connect which I have now made possible again. It's annoying to see something like this happen and not have a CLUE what it is about
Thank you again for your help.

"Placing" linked PDF File in Illustrator for Markup Edits?

When I highlight text in a PDF file that is linked to an Illustrator file (PDF is "Placed" in the Illustrator file as a linked object), text highlights in the PDF file do not show up in Illustrator when I update the link. Does anybody know why, or is there some setting or workaround to force the PDF markups to show up in Illustrator?
Reason for Question
I often use Illustrator as a PDF editor because it is much more flexible than Acrobat's clunky editing tools. There are some significant problems however. If you open a PDF page in Illustrator, you lose some stuff like paragraph formatting, which Illustrator wants to left justify (same problem when opening an AutoCAD file in Illustrator). You can also have trouble with missing fonts like Helvetica, which isn't a default system font because it is licensed and expensive. Illustrator will swap the missing font out with a substitute so it can edit the text. (Acrobat will do the same thing if you try to edit a font that isn't loaded in your system).
A workaround to maintain exact registration if I just want to mark up a PDF file (rather than changing the text) is to "Place" the PDF file in Illustrator. When Placed, the file behaves like an object the isn't editable in Illustrator (you can edit a Placed object from Illustrator, but Illustrator will use the authoring application to do the edits, in this case, Acrobat). I you are interested doing the same thing,... when I use Illustrator to mark up another file like PSD, JPG or PDF, I initially open the file in Illustrator to capture the dimensions, and then delete everything, and then "Place" the file back into Illustrator. You can optionally link or embed the Placed object. After Placing, I use the transform tool to move the Placed Object's upper left corner to 0,0 (XY Coordinates) to acquire registration, lock the layer, and do my markups on separate layers.
This procedure is a bit clunky and requires multiple construction files but Illustrator's vector tools are much better than the most of the markup tools (but not all) in Photoshop or Acrobat. A Photoshop file will link to Illustrator, and you can export it back to Photoshop, but the Illustrator construction file will not be "linked" into Photoshop, so if you need to make changes with Illustrator you have a couple of options. You can open the Illustrator smart object from Photoshop (Photoshop will launch Illustrator to do the edits), or you can delete the smart object and work on the Illustrator construction file directly and re-import.
Since you can't select the text of a Placed PDF file object in Illustrator to highlight text, I'd like to do some of the text highlighting in the linked Acrobat file upstream of Illustrator. I should be able to bounce back and forth with both files open, the Illustrator construction file and the linked PDF file. Problem is that when I add a highlight to the PDF file, it does not show up in the Illustrator placed object that is linked to the PDF file.
So back to my original question. Does anybody know why PDF text highlights do not show up in Illustrator when the PDF file is placed as an object in Illustrator? Is there a workaround to force the PDF text highlights to display in Illustrator?
FYI, I working on a business presentation and need to mark up a few pages of IRS publication 463, which is a 58 page PDF document with a bunch of "destination" links (10 to 20 links per page). I can extract a page, do my markup edits, and then "replace" the page back into the original Acrobat file and all the links and bookmarks will still work, but registration is critical.
I'm using CS6
Thanks in advance for your insight.

Mylenium, Thank you for your on-point explanation of why the markups don't import into Illustrator. Based on your input, I did some digging and discovered:
I can export the Acrobat "Comments" (text highlights, but not markups?) to a FDF file
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS40A4853E-0D48-46a6-8AB6-6B9A27A22D83.html
and then optionally re-import them to another PDF, including a blank document (with the same dimensions to maintain registration) or the final output file. I can then open the PDF (that contains the comments only) using Photoshop and save as a PSD file. Photoshop captures the text highlight color graphic without the white background or text so I am able to achieve transparency. I can then "Place" the Photoshop file as an object on its own layer in the Illustrator construction file as either an embed object or a linked object, but I tend to link for a number of workflow reasons.
Quite clunky, but it seems to maintain exact registration (although for some reason, whenever I place an object in either Illustrator or Photoshop I need to move (transform) the object corner to 0,0 because it is typically off by a pixel or 2). Not sure if there is a way to also export PDF "Markups", but my objective was to use Acrobat's highlighting tools combined with Illustrator's vector graphic tools for markups, so even if I can only export the Acrobat text highlights and not the "Markups", I can still achieve my objective.
From a work flow perspective, I may optionally choose to use the text highlights only as a reference in the Illustrator construction file and turn them off when saving back to PDF. I would then import the text highlights (FDF file) into the final PDF so they are actual Acrobat highlights rather than raster objects, but I do have the option.
I have also noted that I can print an Acrobat file to PDF to capture the text highlights, but that method introduces problems with registration and transparency (the white paper background). I'll often print my final output to PDF rather than saving to achieve a small flat file that will render consistently on different computers, but in this case registration is important so it is better to save to PDF and live with the larger files size.
Why all the fuss? Acrobat is good at highlighting text and Illustrator is good at drawing stuff like curvy paths with variable strokes. Illustrator also has layers and stacking order control. (Acrobat has clunky wannabe layers that are good for limited stuff like multiple versions, but not much help with graphic composition or stacking order). I need workflows that can merge tools from multiple programs (Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, Autocad, and Solidworks). I could do my vector markups in Illustrator, then save to PDF and do the highlights in the final Acrobat file, but if I need to change the vector graphics later I would lose the highlights. Doing the highlights in a separate PDF file and then exporting to a FDF file lets me make changes in Illustrator without having to recreate the highlights from scratch.
Thank you for your assistance. If you have any additional suggestions I am always striving to improve my workflows. btw, I've experimented with some of the 3rd party PDF editor's, but not the expensive ones (less than a few hundred dollars). Most of them do a few things better than Acrobat, but they all have their shortcomings and I'm leery of investing my time in applications that might be obsolete in few years. Perhaps this discussion is better suited to the Acrobat Forum, but I do a lot of PDF editing with Illustrator despite its limitations.
