The cloud-based you mention isn't really cloud based -- it can be a shared network drive, HTML server, or SharePoint server. If you don't have any of those, elect email review when you're prepping the file to send out. Reviewers send their marked up PDFs back to you, and you can merge them into one master PDF -- probably the one you started with. (One file to rule them all, One file to find them, One file to bring them all and in the darkness bind them ) After you merge them, you can either work through them in PDF and Frame separately (I always check them off and say what happened with the suggestion to create an audit trail) or you should be able to pull them back into the Frame file. This has never worked for me because I'm impatient. The Frame files have to stay as they were when you pull the PDF; you can't modify them. And I always kill the time during a review by editing and changing the files before the comments come in. Art Art Campbell art.campbell at gmail.com "...

I now have to consider this issue. Has anybody on this list ever used the function that Adobe describes about collating edits from multiple PDFs back into a FM file? I know that w/ the Tech comm suite, there is a cloud-based single PDF, but right now, I cannot consider this as a solution. I can consider for right now, just standalone FM (unstructured) source, producing a PDF, distributing it to multiple SMEs for edits and then pulling all these edits back into one location. Any thoughts, comments ,experiences would be much appreciated.
