I don't think that's entirely true, Tino. You can still do a email-based PDF review with an unsupported mail system, but it's not automatic and it probably won't be integrated back to the FrameMaker source (I don't know about this last because I've never tried it). The process involves exporting the comments from the PDF that each reviewer sends and then importing those comments into the master review PDF. Look in the Options menu for the Comments List section of the Comments tool palette (or whatevertheheck Adobe calls it...) for the "Export All as Data File" and "Import Data File" commands. Not ideal, but it works, particularly if you keep the master file up to date and in a shared location, and all the reviewers are good about grabbing the latest copy of the master file before starting to add their own comments.

You would not be able to store your PDF file in the specific format that is necessary for the workflow; e.g. to collect all comments in one final version at the end of one review cycle, Acrobat has to recognize the files as "original" or "commented" versions of one review process. (...I guess.) There are two other options for a workflow which is not email-based but server-based: 1) A server-path is available for all reviewers (could be WebDAV) 2) acrobat.com could be used as a "server" (Adobe ID required for setup) In both cases the reviewers would either work with the server copy, or work with local copies, where each comment is automatically transfered to the server copy. This way, all comments are visible immediately for all reviewers and can also be answered, which can be very useful (connection to server-path/internet must be available to "publish" the comments). This way, the comments do not have to be re-imported into the original version from all the different commented files. Best regards - Tino H. Haida. Berlin Lin Sims: Acrobat X doesn't support using a web-based email for sending Shared Review invitations. It does let you manually send invitations, but I've not been able to find actual instructions for how to do that. The situation is complicated by the fact that I am using WebDAV and a cloud storage service for collecting the review comments. I'm assuming that what you do is attach the review file to an email and send it on with whatever information is required, but you know what they say about assumptions. I'm also wondering what, if anything, will happen if a reviewer tried to open the folder Acrobat creates for storing comments on the cloud server. -- Lin Sims _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
