Re: Enabling a PDF for comments from FrameMaker Settings
Using Acrobat 8 and greater, you may enable a PDF For commenting. The person doing the commenting should have Acrobat Reader 8 or greater.

Hi Scott, Yes, but the question was how to automate this enabling so you don't have to do it one PDF at a time. This you can't do without an expensive server product.

RE: Enabling a PDF for comments from FrameMaker Settings
Thanks Shlomo and Rick for the replies. We'll probably recommend that our customer use Reader X; we don't want to spend a lot of money just for one customer. I forgot to mention that we tested the files using Reader 9, our company standard, so that's why I didn't know about commenting in version X.

RE: Enabling a PDF for comments from FrameMaker Settings
For a standard PDF, only two commenting tools are available in Reader, but for a PDF saved with commenting enabled from Acrobat PRO, Reader will have 20+ tools available. However, I don't think it can be automated in Acrobat Pro unless using an outside macro program to watch a folder. LiveCycle Reader Extensions is your only other option for automation.
