Hi All! Adobe Acrobat Reader have special feature, called 'review'. So people can leave marks or comments in PDF file and save them. But AFAIK this can only be done with PDF files generated by Adobe Acrobat Pro. Is there any way to do something similar with files generated by ConTeXt? Basically, I need to pass my work through review process and people often request to add marks directly in files the are looking at. As they are using Adobe's reader exclusively, it would be great to use it's built-in features. -- Best Regards, Oleg Kolosov

You mean "Adobe Reader extensions" (ARE). You can only enable these with Acrobat Professional (version 7+), independend of the source of the PDF. Reader extensions are a well-kept secret of Adobe, but there are unexpensive PDF editors that can add notes, e.g.: - Multivalent, http://multivalent.sourceforge.net/ (beware: uses its own annotations not PDF ones, but may fit your workflow) - Jaws PDF Editor, http://www.jawspdf.com (not free) - Foxit Reader, http://www.foxitsoftware.com (not free, Windows only) - PDF Xchange Viewer, http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF- XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer (free?, Windows only) ...and just google yourself. Oh, I just found this Windows tool that claims to enable ARE (no Windows here, can't try): http://sourceforge.net/projects/arenable/ I guess it's somewhat illegal... Greetlings from Lake Constance!
