Hi All

I cant't generate my help file into .pdf format for printed documentation.  My .pdf option is not enabled.  How do I get it enabled?  I am on version 8.

I am following the instructions in help.

thanks

Caryn

We had the same question from someone else recently. Turned out they had not installed the PDF add on when they installed RH.

Reinsert the CD and see if the option is ticked. If it is, it was not installed.

I was wondering if that was it?  I will check.  It is amazing that something like this is not in Adobe's knowledgebase, I checked earlier.

thanks

Now I can generate my .pdf doc.  How do i enable my commenting tool bar?  I select my options under the tool bar, such as post it notes, but it says it is not enabled here now.  Do I need to purchase Adobe acrobat Standard?  If yes, does that mean al my reviewers would also need a copy.

thanks

Using the camera icon above, not Attach Files below, please show an image of the Comments toolbar.

My understanding is that via RH, you can only submit PDFs for review is you have the Technical Communication Suite which gives you a menu option to create a PDF and send it for review. That is a very different option to the ability to create a PDF as requested in your original post.

I believe http://www.acrobat.com may give you other options to achieve the same objective, creating a PDF for review. Other uses only need one of the later versions of Acrobat reader.
