Seems like this thread is a bit off topic now, but I'll chime in anyway. When I co-write a paper with latex users, I use latexdiff: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/latexdiff/ When I need reviews from non-latex users (e.g. my boss), I have them markup a PDF by hand or via pdf markup

I like to use png files at 300dpi. I'm stuck using MS Word 2007 at work, and that's what works best in my experience. If MS ever starts to support svg files. Or matplotlib starts to support emf-files... ;) BTW, why the emf format is in the list of export formats whereas it is not actually

Have you had good luck keeping the formatting going between open office and MS word? What about equations? On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 12:42 PM, Gökhan Sever gokhanse...@gmail.comwrote: On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 11:23 AM, Konstantin Klementiev kklement...@cells.es wrote: I like to use png

I know this started with non-Latex, but I've found that passing around latex-generated PDFs works well to get reviews from non-Latex people. But then again, the people I work with don't rely upon MS Office's electronic editing capabilities. Ryan On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 12:43 PM, Gökhan Sever

Hi Ryan, What is your typical reviewing process? Do you ask people to review on PDF outputs or via version controlled Latex document? OpenOffice also has a good review system where I can track my/others changes easily. On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 3:27 PM, Ryan May rma...@gmail.com wrote: I know

We have old-stylers as well :) http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ has nice annotation tools for PDF reviewing, and its very fast and it works on Linux through CrossOver (probably would work via wine as well). What type of revision tracking do you use? Treat your documents like code? Google

I've started keeping papers under version control for latex. But, if I have collaborators who use word, then I just track changes. On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 9:13 PM, Ryan May rma...@gmail.com wrote: Yeah, I check in my LaTeX file, bibliography, and any python scripts for figures into a
