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. Trouble is, the reviewers can't add comments and she doesn't know why. This is the first time she's done it and doesn't know whether it's her security settings, preferences, or version of the software. She is using the full version of Acrobat 6.0. Does 6.0 allow recipients to comment or does she have to upgrade to Acrobat 7.0 or 7.0 Pro? I have 7.0 Pro on my machine and haven't had any problems.

The first thing I'd suggest is to look at the security settings.

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.

That feature didn't come in until Acrobat Pro 7.

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.

renaming a variable
I thank the kind folks who replied to my request. I guess I was not quite clear about what I am trying to accomplish. I succeeded in changing the variable name, but the problem comes in replicating the change across about 50 chapters in four books. I can copy the newly-renamed variable into the chapter, but all the existing variables still have their old names. I am anxious about the copy-and-paste method for the reasons Rebecca mentioned. My example was a formatted variable, but I actually use many variables, some formatted and some not. Because I use so many variables, I am looking into Leximation's Bookvars today. It looks like just the tool I need! -Original Message- From: Combs, Richard [mailto:richard.co...@polycom.com] Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 11:17 AM To: Peter Gold; John Sgammato; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: renaming a variable John Sgammato wrote: >I want to rename the user variable BoldProduct to B-BoldProduct so I >can get to it quickly from Ctrl-0.

I am very happy with BookVars. When I go to create a new folder for a book/part of a book, the first thing I do is create the book file. The *second* thing I do is create the BookVars file.
