What do you mean you are "using Adobe Reader'? Inside of a browser? Inside of your application? Stand-alone?

What version of Reader?

Is the PDF Reader-Enabled??

Hi

Iam using Adobe Reader 10. Iam using it inside a stand alone application in C#. The PDF Reader is comment enabled. Iam able to see the comment tools when adobe document is opened outside the application.

Please advise on how to enable the commenting tools for acrobat inside the standalone application.

Thanks,

Vidhya

Not is the Reader comment enabled, but is the PDF itself enabled? Are you only seeing two tools or the complete set of tools?

You cannot enable those in external application – that is not supported.

Commenting tools are always available in Acrobat Pro & Standard, but only a limited set are available in Reader (by default).

Acrobat Professional can also take a PDF and add some “special sauce” so that the Reader will display the full set of commenting tools.

In my external application, Acrobat Reader X is showing the commenting tools but they are disabled. Is there any way of enabling them

Only by Reader Enabling the PDFs themselves.

How can this be done. Can you please advise the steps? In my case when opening the Acrobat Reader outside the external application it is showing commenting tools(sticky notes and highlighting) but when used inside the external application the reader is showing all the commenting tools but all are disabled.

To enable commenting tools for Pro/Std we had used Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = true. But I dont know how to use that for Acrobat Reader. Your feedback will be appreciated

Yes, because those tools are disabled in external/hosted environments except for Reader Enabled files.

Reader (stand-alone) supports some basic tools.

Open them in Adobe Acrobat Professional and do File->Save as->Reader Extended.

Thanks for your suggestion. But even when I make the file Reader Enabled, the commenting tools are not getting enabled for reader inside the external application. Am I missing something?
