Urgent - Commenting tool bar doesn't appear

[aroy]

     I am using a below mentioned code to render a form and apply usage rights - setReCommenting(true). But generated PDF form does not show commenting tool bar

Document properties shows commenting "Not Allowed".

We are using Adobe LC ES2, Adobe Reader 7 & 9  and Designer 7.1 or 9

try{
        FormsServiceClient fm=new FormsServiceClient(scfFactory);
        PDFFormRenderSpec pdfFormRenderSpec                 = new PDFFormRenderSpec();       
        pdfFormRenderSpec.setCacheEnabled(new Boolean(false));

        pdfFormRenderSpec.setRenderAtClient(RenderAtClient.Yes);
        pdfFormRenderSpec.setAcrobatVersion(AcrobatVersion.Acrobat_7_0_5 );

        //Set usage-rights run-time options
        ReaderExtensionSpec reOptions                         = new ReaderExtensionSpec();
        reOptions.setReCredentialAlias("READER EXTENSIONS");
        reOptions.setReCredentialPassword("jC98zZ2Kg8");

        reOptions.setReCommenting(true);
        reOptions.setReFillIn(true);
        reOptions.setReFormFieldMod(true);
        reOptions.setReCreatePages(true);
        reOptions.setReEmbeddedAttachments(true);
        reOptions.setReReaderMessage("You may fill in forms");

        URLSpec    uriValues                         = new URLSpec();
      
        uriValues.setApplicationWebRoot("http://talamdt02:7778/o2k");
        uriValues.setContentRootURI("http://talamdt02:7778/o2k/jsp/");
        uriValues.setTargetURL("http://talamdt02:7778/o2k/jsp/");

        Document inDoc=new Document(new File("C:/Temp/CertificateData.xml"),true);
        FormsResult frs=fm.renderPDFFormWithUsageRights("ISM-SMC.xdp", inDoc, pdfFormRenderSpec, reOptions, uriValues);
        Document document=frs.getOutputContent();
        document.copyToFile(new File("C:/Temp/forserverTest.pdf"));
        }catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        }

Does the PDF that is being extended have any fields on it? Has it been flattened in a previous operation?

Thank you for your response.

The PDF has fillable form fields.

I might not have understood what flattening means. But the rendered PDF by Form Server API does have fillable fields in it.

As a test can you Reader Extend the form using the Web UI and see if you can comment on it?

You can get to the UI by using this URL:

http://servername:portNumber/ReaderExtensions

You will need a valid Uid and password that has the rights to add Reader Extensions.
