Users with Acrobat Reader Can Not Comment on Document

Reader can only read and print unless additional rights are applied to the PDF.

You have to "Enable for Comments and Analysis in Acrobat Reader...". Look under the menu bar's "Comment" option.

The other special rights are "Forms Rights" and "Signature Rights".

gkaiseril,

Thank you for responding so quickly to my post and solving my Acrobat commenting problem.

Have a great day,
Don

Hi,

I'm having the same problem about documents rights, but where do I enable them? In Reader? I've looked through the menu bars and Preferences, and cannot find anything that allows me to enable document rights. I'm lost.

Thanks

To enable commenting, markup, analysis, etc. one of the following Acrobat releases is required.
Acrobat 7 Professional
Acrobat 3D version 7
Acrobat 8 Professional
Acrobat 3D version 8
Acrobat 9 Professional
Acroba 9 Professional Extended

No release of Adobe Reader can perform the "enable" feature.

Be well...

Thanks daka630,

you confirmed what I thought.

Cheers

I don't think Acrobat 9 Standard can enable commenting for Reader.

Hi try67,
I had thought the same as it is not available in the earlier releases of Standard.
However, some posts here at AUC followed by a look over of the product comparison information is why I included it.

[url=http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.php]Acrobat 9 Product comparison[/url]
"Enable users of Adobe Reader® (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally" is shown as available with Standard, Professional, and Extended.
However, "Enable users of Adobe Reader (version 8 or later) to digitally sign PDF documents" is not available with Acrobat 9 Standard.

Be well...

I just had a look at the exact same place before posting, but what is discussed here is neither forms nor digital signatures, it's comments, which appear under "Review documents using familiar commenting tools such as sticky notes, highlighting, lines, shapes, and stamps", and Reader 9 has an icon that means "When enabled by Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended." Not Standard, then.

Be well...
