Commenting in PDF files from Acrobat 6.0
Readers or reviewers who have the full-feature editor/reader tool that comes with the full Acrobat product (and which Adobe, in their wisdom, chose to call by exactly the same name as the full product suite, e.g. Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Deluxe or Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional) can add comments and other markup to any PDF file that doesn't have security settings that prevent commenting. Reviewers/readers who do not have the full Acrobat product suite can only add comments to a PDF if *both* the following conditions are true: 1) The reviewer is using Adobe Reader 7.0 or later. (Acrobat Reader 6.x is not good enough). 2) The PDF must have been specifically enabled for commenting via Adobe Reader 7.x using the Adobe Acrobat 7.x editor/reader tool. This is *never* the default state for PDFs; it *must* be explicitly enabled after the PDF has been generated. Note that because this is a post process step, you can use Acrobat 7.x to enable commenting on PDFs that were created with older versions of Acrobat. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

RE: Commenting in PDF files from Acrobat 6.0
The first thing I'd suggest is to look at the security settings. 'Ctrl+d' will display them; it's possible that comments are disabled. -HTH, Nicole -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] .com] On Behalf Of Jon Harvey Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 2:36 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: OT:Commenting in PDF files from Acrobat 6.0 Hi all, One of my colleagues created a PDF of her document and is passing it around to reviewers for comment.

RE: Commenting in PDF files from Acrobat 6.0
She needs to use Acrobat 7 Pro if she wants to get the full advantage of the commenting feature. It's a great feature with very few problems (for its first release). I'd recommend it to anyone who is tired of getting comments back in varied formats. The auto online help feature is great as well.

RE: Commenting in PDF files from Acrobat 6.0
Hi, Jon: Are there error messages? They would help to focus the trouble shooting. More likely, the problem stems from a combination of Acrobat 7 settings and whatever Acrobat viewers are used to view the file. In Acrobat 7 Professional, Document Enable For Commenting in Acrobat Reader is a new setting that works with Reader 7 to do what it says. You don't state if your colleague can open and comment her own documents in her Acrobat 6. If her reviewers can't open her files for commenting, they may have a version of Reader. So, the two-part solution might be: * Save the files in Acrobat 7 Professional with Document Enable for Commenting * Have reviewers use Reader 7 to comment the files.
