Adobe Acrobat: Help! My client cannot see my annotations on a PDF file


Newer Adobe Acrobat files do not often play nice with older versions of Acrobat. Sometimes you may receive a file, add annotations in Acrobat 8 or 9, save it, then send it to someone who is using Acrobat 6 who cannot see the changes you made.

The workaround for this is to re-print the file to PDF.

  1. Go to File -> Print…
  2. Make sure to select “Document and Markups” as shown below:
    SS-2010.09.16-12.02.24
  3. Click OK.

Why does this work? When you “save” a PDF file, it is saved as the version of the program you are using. When you “print” a PDF file, it is compatible with versions back to 5.0 (released in 2001).

The only caveat is that your annotations are now hard-coded and therefore cannot be changed in the resulting file.

    Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this particular web-site.
    What I would tell people would be to give up the mentality they can buy now and pay later.
    As a society many of us tend to make this happen for many things.
    This includes getaways, furniture, and also items we want.
    However, you need to separate the wants from the needs.
    If you are working to raise your credit ranking score you have to make some sacrifices.
    For example you possibly can shop online to save money or you can go to second hand merchants instead of expensive department
    stores to get clothing.
