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

Hi

For comment specific feature, please install Adobe Acrobat 8.0 version. It has a full-fledged Comments & Markup menu as well as a Comments menu section. At any point of time, multiple users can review the PDF and you can view the comments instaneously provided the document is online.

Just my two cents.

Thanks & Regard,

Rajdeep

If I understand you correctly, any of the Acrobat 8 or greater versions can generate a PDF with the comments feature. Correct please?

That means that one person must have a paid for version of Acrobat, commenting cannot be initiated by users of Acrobat Reader, the latter only enables you to comment on a PDF that has been created in a paid for version. Correct please?
