Thanks Richard- I see that I overlooked this one line about the Adobe Document Server. I find it amazing that everyone else skated over this fact- is it really that common to have this product installed? I'd never heard of it until today. A co-worker here told me that the Lifecycle Server product is a piece of junk, and requires its own dedicated machine to boot. Can anyone dispute this?

Please let me > know if you have any experience with this. As others have noted, Reader 7 users can comment/review if you enable it in Acro 7 Pro first. But, that's not the whole story. If you want to host the doc on a server and enable browser-based review using Reader 7, be prepared to send Adobe a bunch more money. I'd quote from the Acro 7 Pro Help, but you can't select text in that file! (How annoying is that?) Look up the topic "Setting up a browser-based review," and you'll see a note saying that Adobe Document Server or Reader Extensions Server is required to enable Reader 7 users to participate. Without the Adobe server software, you'll have to email the doc to Reader 7 users. See the topic "Setting up an email-based review." HTH! Richard ------ Richard G.
