Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / May 2005adobe acrobat acting crazy on me
lets say that I put comments into and adobe reader document, then I quit for the day. next time I come back the comments are nowhere to be found. ???? this is not a very funny joke adobe is playing > lets say that I put comments into and adobe reader document, then I > quit for the day. > > next time I come back the comments are nowhere to be found. Is this in a form? At one point I noticed that if you enter some text in a form field and quit without clicking the mouse outside of that field, the text will be discarded. miguel  SignatureHit The Road!

What version of Reader? Signature~ Stay Calm... Be Brave... Wait for the Signs ~ ------------------------------------------------------ One site: <http://www.balderstone.ca> The other site, with ww links<http://www.woodenwabbits.com> version 7.0 > version 7.0 I only have version 4 but I remember this happening to me. Go to Tools/annotations/Filter manager You have to highlight an author on the left and stuff on the right and select it. Doesn't work as I expected in version 4, but if you just select all you should be ok. (i.e. the dialog should show Deselect all in both parts so you know it's in Select All). I don't think I quite understand how it works, but I often lose my annotations and this brings them back. May be different in version 7. Maire Black this solution you suggest does not do the trick for me. I still find that I lose comments from session to session and selecting who the reviewer is does not help. > this solution you suggest does not do the trick for me. > > I still find that I lose comments from session to session > and selecting who the reviewer is does not help. You have to select a reviewer AND something else as well, such as pencil, or whatever the reviewer has used. If no author is selected you won't see anything, but even if an author is selected, unless the correct tools such as pencil or highlighter are selected, you will still see nothing. (Best to select all the tools probably.) It is totally confusing. Take any pdf file. Use the pencil to draw a sguiggle. Also use the highlighter to highlight some text. You can see both of these annotations. Now go to Tools/annotations/Filter Manager and the dialog comes up. On the left you have the authors, on the right you have the various annotation tools. If you now deselect the author (you) so that there is no blob at the author and click OK, all your annotations disappear. Now select your author again (click OK) and your annotations reappear. Now deselect the pencil only on the right side. Only the pencil annotation disappears. Deselect the highlighter and it also disappears. It took me ages to realise that you have to select an author (always me in my case) and a tool as well. I just make sure to Select All on both sides so that it shows "Deselect All" on both sides. That way all annotations should be visible. What I have never been able to understand is why they sometimes disappear from session to session. You would think the preferences would hold. I'm still on version 4 though so I don't know how it behaves in later versions. Maire Black (lot of useful stuff) Penalty for providing all this helpful info: another question. (No good deed goes unpunished.) I'd like to create PDF documents (seminar presentations, actually) in which all the "regular pages" are slides, but interleaved between or attached to these slides are notes pages for the speaker's notes and text which can be globally hidden or revealed, so you can project or print the presentation without the notes pages, or print a copy for the speaker with the notes pages. To say this in another way, pages with comments that can be turned on or off globally; that will appear on and be printed on a separate, immediately following page when they're turned on; and that will disappear (along with the page they're on) when turned off. I understand that comments can be printed separately but the idea is to be able to edit them and print them immediately adjacent to but on a subsequent page from the page to which they refer (thus mimicing the "Notes" capability in PowerPoint). Any easy way to do this? (Acrobat 7.0) > (lot of useful stuff) > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Any easy way to do this? (Acrobat 7.0) Short answer: I don't know. I'm not really good with this. I only know about the comments thing because it drove me crazy and I figured it out. There are some very knowledgeable people here though. Some of them should be able to help. Good luck Maire Black My menus are not the same as yours as I am on 7.0 In any case, the issue is important enough to me that I am taking the plunge and taking the extreme step of signing up for a year of expert support from the Adobe company on acrobat reader. It sounds extreme, but reading is life to me, and eBooks are therefore something imporant as well. Doug |
