Yes - I am opening these in Acrobat Reader 7.0.
I know previous versions of Reader didn't allow adding comments.
but I know version 7.0 allows adding comments.
Hmm... Have you tried opening any other PDFs with Reader 7.0 to see if this
is the case?
Good point.
I have just tried changing a documents security setting in Acrobat 7.0 to allow commenting,
then viewed them in Reader - and Commenting was NOT allowed!
The Acrobat Reader documentation says the creator of the PDF controls this
while the Adobe site says LiveCycle can be used to enable commenting in Reader 7.0.
I will seek clarification from Adobe.
Yes - it would be good to know if it is totally impossible with PDF 1.3 or not.If I find the time, I'll run a few tests *with* encryption, and if necessary do some further lookup in the PDF Specification to see if I can find something WRT PDF code that controls this particular document property (esp. the changes in PDF 1.5 and 1.6) I'm also thinking... Currently FOP 0.20.5 produces PDF conforming to the 1.3 Specification (Acrobat 4.0) --maybe that version still lacks the necessary commands to make it 'commentable' by Reader 7.0 (= PDF version 1.6) (? long shot)
I'll see what I can dig up.
Yet another reason to see if there's any way to help in producing version 1.0 (as if we needed any).!I wondered about encryption in the binary FOP distribution because the DOcs say:
The build process automatically detects JCE presence and installs PDF
encryption support if possible, otherwise a stub is compiled in.
Could be that the binary was still compiled on a machine without JCE present
(Java 1.3 sans JCE), but I can't confirm it myself. Anyone?
Heads-up to all those interested: It still needs to be fully tested, but IIC, the PDF library in FOP's development version solves --at least some of-- these issues.
I really will have to start learning Java soon to help get the best out of all these wonderful Apache tools.
Greetz,
Andreas
