Lief,

If you want to avoid manual merging, you have to have Tech Comm  Suite.

...and where I work, that never happens, so it means that I have to manually 
merge the comments.

The one proviso is that the originating FM doc can't change in any way after 
the review PDF is created if you hope to merge comments back into it later.

Hi Deanna
First, they released Acrobat XI today or yesterday, so you'll likely be doing 
your work with XI instead of X.

Next, you'll need Acrobat Pro on the machine producing the PDF, and from there 
you can initiate reviews with your team using anything from Reader (9 or above) 
to Acrobat Pro (9 or above). If I recall correctly, this has been true since 
Acrobat 5 or so.

I have successfully run reviews with this setup and then  migrated comments 
back into the FM document (FM 10 and 11) with the supplied workflow, which is a 
fraction of the effort required to manually apply changes to the original FM 
document.

Hi,

We are migrating from FrameMaker 7.2 to FrameMaker 11. In our current workflow, 
we create a PDF file and use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional to enable 
commenting in it so that reviewers who don't have FrameMaker can electronically 
review and comment on our FrameMaker documents. We then merge the electronic 
comments into the PDF file and manually change the FrameMaker files accordingly.

For FrameMaker 11, Adobe advertises, "Collaborate with PDF-based roundtrip 
reviews." I've searched, but I can't find how these types of reviews are 
implemented. Can you briefly explain how this feature works? Mainly I want to 
know if we need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional X to retain our ability 
to solicit electronic reviews from reviewers who don't have FrameMaker or if 
the need for Acrobat Professional is eliminated by this feature in FrameMaker 
11.

Thanks,

Deanna.
