The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

No commenting toolbar in Adobe Acrobat Reader 6

Asked by SpaceClav in Miscellaneous Software

Tags: reader, acrobat, adobe

I cannot get commenting to work on Adobe Acrobat Reader 6. I don't have the commenting toolbar!

Commenting is a new feature with Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0. However "my" Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 doesn't seem to have it! In the online help of the Reader it is explained how to turn the commenting toolbar on - just like any other toolbar. But my toolbar list doesn't contain Commenting toolbar (I have tried all the different ways they describe in the help file - I don't see it anywhere).

It is mentioned in the online help, that commenting features are only available if the PDF file has Commenting enabled in the security settings. So I have tried different PDF files - ones with no security, ones with 128bit security and all features enabled - still I can not see any commenting tools in my Reader. I have also opened the Reader with no file - all toolbars are there - except Commenting.

I have checked registry entries for Adobe Acrobat Reader. All the toolbars are defined there (with their positions and so on). And teh Commenting toolbar is there!!! The key is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars. However the Commenting toolbar definition in the registry has bHidden and bWindowHidden properites set to 1, just as the toolbars which are turned off. It also has some crazy values for window position: 0x80000000 for bottom, top, left and right. I have tries to manualy set those to some reasonable values and tried to delete bHidden and bWindowHidden properties (and also tried to set them to 0). But is deosn't help. I start the Reader and still have to Commenting toolbar. After I exit the Reader - registry values are back to what they were - hidden and 80000000 positions.

Of course I have been through all Preferences settings but can not find anything applicable.

I have the latest Acrobat Reader 6.0.1 2003-11-03. I have just downloaded it today and reinstalled it just in case.

I am using Windows 2000 SP4 with all security patches installed.

Please help me - I desperately need this commenting feature :)

Thanks
