Hi Deanna, One need not change the FrameMaker files manually, but one can import the comments to FrameMaker file using File->Import->PDF Comments. PDF comments will come as track text edits in the FrameMaker document. One can use Track Text Edit toolbar to go through each comment and take action of accept/reject on them. Pls. refer to this blog http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/05/handling-pdf-review-comments-in-framemaker.html which talks in detail about the FrameMaker review workflow.
Acrobat Reader XI supports full set of commeting tools. So, if the reviewers have Acrobat Reader XI, you don't need Acrobat professional to enable commeting in PDF. However, you need Acrobat professional to enable commenting ,if reviewers are using Acrobat Reader X or below.

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. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/attachments/20121018/98353322/attachment.html>
