Disable Protected ModeĪcrobat Reader DC uses a feature called Protected Mode to secure your computer against malicious PDF documents. Once you’ve done that, try opening Acrobat Reader DC again. Switch to the Processes tab, select each Acrobat Reader DC-related background process (as shown in the screenshot above), and then click End Task. Then, click More Details to expand the default Task Manager view. To do that, right-click the Start menu and select Task Manager. Is Acrobat Reader DC still failing to open? Ending all background processes related to the program can help. You can also use the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter (click Run Compatibility Troubleshooter) to detect and troubleshoot compatibility issues in Acrobat Reader DC. If you keep facing the same issue, try setting Compatibility Mode to Windows 7. On the Properties dialog box, switch to the Compatibility tab, check the box under Compatibility Mode, and select Windows 8. Start by right-clicking the Acrobat Reader DC icon on the desktop. To eliminate compatibility issues with Windows 10, run Acrobat Reader DC in Compatibility Mode. On the Properties dialog box that shows up, switch to the Shortcut tab, select Advanced, check the box next to Run as Administrator, and then click OK. Start by right-clicking the Acrobat Reader DC shortcut. If Acrobat Reader DC launches properly, you can always configure the shortcut to run the program with administrative rights.

Even though technically file attachment annotations, links, sounds, and redaction annotations are annotations, they contain actions that would also be removed if the annotation was flattened and so they remain to not interfere with the functions placed in the PDF.Try running Acrobat Reader DC with elevated rights. Note: The following annotations (file attachment annotations, links, sounds, and redaction annotations) will NOT be flattened when flattening annotations. Flatten a Specific Annotation: Using the Hand Tool or Object Selection Tool Select the annotation that you wish to flatten then right-click on the annotation (CTRL + Click on Mac), choose “Flatten” in the context menu.įrom the menu, choose Comments > Flatten all Commentsįrom the menu, choose Comments > Flatten Comments on Current Page.Once flattened they can no longer be edited. If you need to ensure that your customers are able to view all of the annotations and markups on the document you can instead “Flatten” the annotations before sending the document to the recipient. Flattening annotations is the act of painting the annotations directly on the page so that the annotations now become content on the page which is supported by nearly all viewers. The developers of these free PDF viewers & editors typically don’t spend the proper amount of time reviewing the PDF specifications to handle all of the features correctly. Most of the free and third part apps that have been created typically only review the minimum standards for the primary features needed by most users which is why they don’t always support all of the features. The publicly available PDF Specifications document ( ) created by Adobe is 1300 pages long. We see many free PDF applications (such as Preview on the Mac and Okular on Linux) that do not fully support all the annotation and markup features in PDFs. Not all PDF applications are able to support all of the PDF standard annotations and markups.
Why is this happening?Ī: This is most likely because the individual is using a third party PDF viewer/editor. Q: I added some annotations and markups to a PDF. If I then open it with Adobe Reader or PDF Studio the annotations display just fine but when I send the same file to someone else, they say the annotations aren’t displayed.
