 As far as I know Acrobat Reader does not allow highlighting and adding
 notes. You need at least Acrobat Standard for that:
 http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html

 See the second FAQ here:
  http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrfaq.html

 Also the online help of Adobe Reader 7 indicates that it has a comment
 toolbar that will be visible if the PDF allows it.  It looks like
 Adobe Acrobat is the only piece of software that is able to make a PDF
 file allow it (see below).

 By default, FOP does not prohibit annotation for the PDF it creates.
 Only if you encrypt the PDF and set the right switches will this
 functionality be disabled.

 Yes, that's what I figured out during last night's googling.

 See http://www.renderx.net/lists/xep-support/4108.html

 It looks like Adobe disabled the annotation/commenting feature of
 Adobe Reader when going from version 5 to version 6.  And the only
 thing that can make Adobe Reader 6 and 7 show this feature, is someone
 applying a digital signature on the PDF file.

Now I've installed Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.08.

When I open a PDF file created by FOP in Acrobat Professional, and
enable commenting, and then save it back, and then try opening it in
Adobe Reader 7, I get a dialog with the following warning:
   This document contained certain rights to enable special
features in Adobe Reader.  The document has been
changed since it was created and these rights are no
longer valid.  Please contact the author for the original
version of this document.

And except that Adobe Reader says that You can attach files to this
documents, I haven't been able to find any commenting facilities.

I have tried saving back to the original file, and I have tried saving
to a new file.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?  Is there a workaround?

Thanx!

Allow commenting in Adobe reader

2006-04-03 Thread Steinar Bang 
Platform: Ubuntu 5.10, FOP 0.91beta, Adobe reader 7.0

I'm using xsltproc and FOP to create PDF from DocBook XML.

I would like the PDF to be commentable in Adobe reader, ie. allow
Adobe reader users to add highlights and notes to the PDF document.

Is there any way to do this with FOP?  Some hidden option or setting I
could use?

Using FOP out of the box the comment tools don't seem to be available,
at least...?

Thanx!
