Document revision control
Hi Amy, Subversion is a good option. We have been using it for long, and we are a team of 20+ writers. We too use FM.

RE: Off-Topic: Acrobat Shared Review
Hi RJ Jacquez, But this review does not work with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and Office 2010. Do you have a solution for this? I was using this feature by setting up WebDAV folder. Hope you will not ask me to migrate to Acrobat X. We just bought Acrobat 9 Pro Extended recently. This was working fine when I had earlier versions of Office.

We have thousands of customers across the world using this feature, so it does work fine. Looking at your steps below, I was having a tough time following until I realized that perhaps you are initiating this process without having a PDF file opened in Acrobat. If this is the case, it's always better to first open the file you want to send out for Review first. Also, to get started, the file you want to Review should be on your local drive and once you have initiated the PDF Shared Review, a copy will be uploaded to the Shared folder you specify, with a _review suffix. One more thing, if you select Shared Folder as your option, make sure you specify the path in this format: \\Server Name\Folder Name\ I hope these tips work, however if you still have problems, I'd be happy to have a screen sharing session with you via Adobe Connect.
