What happened to my sticky notes in preview?

I spent a lot of time adding comments to a pdf file. I used Preview. Now when I go to the document, all of the yellow squares are there, but there is no content inside. In fact, when I double click on the sticky notes, the boxes don't even open. But if I click on Annotate in the toolbar and click on the yellow box, it opens, but it's blank.
I put in a lot of work on the two documents and now it's all gone. It's the first time I've ever tried doing comments in Preview (I've always used Adobe Reader and never had a problem. I've been trying to stick with the Mac OS tools instead of downloading readers and such, but now I'm having second thoughts about this.
Normally I would do tracking in Word for comments/corrections like this, but I had to work with a pdf because the original document was generated in Pages and I can't seem to open Pages.
Are my comments lost forever?

Good to know. Thanks for replying. It would never have occurred to me to press the option key. Seems weird that they "hid" the solution when it would've been so easy to just include it in the regular menu as they do in all other programs. Equally weird that the Export as PDF function isn't working (it saves the little yellow boxes, but erases their contents).
Jeff, I really appreciate your response. I'm going to make a note of it so I can remember it for futures.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • I was almost done my project. I hadn't published it anywhere. Then, the next day, the clips from my timeline went all grey and there was an "out of date" icon. My project was lost. What happened? It's not the first time it's done that!

    You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
    (1) Page Info > Permissions tab
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
    (2) about:permissions
    In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
    Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
    Any luck?

  • What happen to my iPhone notes?

    I went to look at some info I had on my Notes app and I noticed their gone. I tried looking for them on iTunes somewhere but found them no where. Anyone knows what may have happen?

    Don't know what happened, but iTunes doesn't store notes. You can sync notes between your iPhone and a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process or with an Apple iCloud account.

  • What happened to my iCloud notes?

    Yesterday night I was on skype with someone while writing notes on my Mac via iCloud.com. I scrolled a bit to look at some other notes and when I scrolled back up my most recent note was completely gone. It completely disappeared from my phone as well. I have my phone set to icloud as the default account and of course icloud doesn't save the notes in an email. I had to switch from Yahoo because the same vanishing note issue happened there except on my phone. I never deleted it or changed anything, it simply vanished before my eyes. I use this app very frequently because it is convenient and good for keeping track of a lot of things, but I am getting fed up since I have problems with it all the time. Why does Apple continue to peddle such broken software?

    You will need to contact Apple to see what exactly is going on with your Apple ID before continuing.

  • What happened to the "overview" button in Preview?

    When I try to use preview to scan, the menu doesn't show the "overview" button. There's a nameless blank button to the left of "scan," but it doesn't perform the overview function; it merely starts the scan just as does the button to its right.

    Nope, still does not allow saving.
    I just want to save each page as a JPG and then save to my website. This way users can simply view the page without having to open another app like preview or acrobat viewer to see the page.
    Point is, in the previous version of Preview in Panther, exporting each page to whatever format was a simple thing. File, Export, select format and directory, Save, done! It gave a warning that only single page exports were supported, but that's what I wanted anyway.
    Luckily, I copied my entire boot drive onto a secondary drive before upgrading to 10.4, so I have Preview 2.1 still, and it works.
    Still, any clues as to why they changed/removed this Export feature to a clunky and PITA, many step, not as good, way of doing a thing?

  • What happened to the Export feature in Preview?

    In Panther, I used to be able to export from .pdf files to .jpg easily. Now, not so much. You have to grab the section you want to export as jpeg and save it and go through a lot of garbage. What gives, and is this fixed in 10.5?

  • What happens when I can not buy OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion?

    Hi,
         I tried to buy OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and it said that my imac is not compatible with the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion App.  What now?
    Thanks,
    relaxed4102

    If your system is not one of the ones listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
    then there's nothing you can do to get and install Mountain Lion. If your system is one of those listed, you need to have Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Mac OS X 10.7 to be able to buy and install Mountain Lion. You cannot upgrade from Mac OS X 10.5.2 which is the OS version shown in your profile.
    Regards.

  • What happened to the "command not found" hook?

    Since pkgfile has been split off from pkgtools, the "command not found" hook doesn't work anymore. Has it been removed, or does it need to be configured in some other way now?

    pkgfile is now what used to be known as nosr.
    The hooks (both for zsh and bash) exist in /usr/share/doc/pkgfile/.
    EDIT: that's in the AUR -git package. In the community/ package, they don't exist (as of ver. 1-2).

    The option to update OTA did not become available until iOS5. You will need to connect the phone to the computer and iTunes and update in that method.

  • What happens if I do not pay the reconnect fee?

    If my bill is behind and they cut off the phone service, can I pay what I owe but Opt out of the reconnect fee? And what happensif I do not pay the reconnect fee? Does the contract void itself or ill they end up charging me the disconnect fee?

        Hi wonderingmind12,
    As a consumer I realize how overwhelming bills can be and I am here to help! We don't want your service to get suspended, because you will be assessed a $15 per line reconnect fee. Our Financial Services department can assist you with setting up a payment arrangement in an effort to prevent your services from being suspended.  Financial Services can be reached at 866-266-1445.  If an account remains suspended for non-payment without setting arrangements to restore service, the account will eventually be disconnected for non-payment and any applicable Early Termination Fees will added to the final bill. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.^AB

  • What happened to my Synching Notes

    I can write notes on my iPhone and they used to show on my desktop in the mail program.  I've checked to have them synch but on my newly set up iMac 27 inch I don't see the notes and don't know where to find them. Any ideas?

    Oh I see. I don't use Gmail and don't know how that works with Notes. I thought you were having issues with Notes only where you were inputing text in Notes on your iPhone and it wasn't syncing across to your iMac's Notes.
    If you sign out of your iCloud account on your iMac, you may see the various screens to delete off your Mac or save. As long as you are using iCloud for your Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, etc. you won't lose anything. You're simply deleting anything that you kept "On My Mac" and not in iCloud. So, when you sign back into iCloud from your iMac, everything in iCloud will come back down and sync with your iMac.

  • What happens if close_from FM not specified in Scripts?

    Hi,
    if close_form FM is not mentioned, will u be able to open another form with open_form FM
    or does it give error?
    please answer.

    Hi,
       Calling a SAPSCRIPT form from an ABAP program
    There are <b>five basic</b> function modules used for communication between the ABAP runtime environment and the, so called, "Composer" of the SAPSCRIPT tool:
    OPEN_FORM starts the communication between the ABAP runtime and the Composer
    START_FORM introduces a blank SAPSCRIPT form which can be filled with data from the ABAP runtime.
    WRITE_FORM fills the SAPSCRIPT form with values from the ABAP runtime.
    END_FORM completes the writing to the SAPSCRIPT form.
    CLOSE_FORM closes the communication between the ABAP runtime and the Composer.
