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. -Matt @mattrsullivan On Oct 17, 2012, at 11:47 AM, Deanna Korth <deanna.korth at gmail.com<mailto:deanna.korth at gmail.com>> wrote: 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.
