I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7. I've been using the email review
feature that enables a user with only Reader to access the commenting
toolbar and review & markup a document, which is then returned to me.
I want to set up web-based reviews of these PDFs. More and more, we're
finding we can benefit from having a "team" review PDFs.The neat thing is
that they would be able to see each other's comments/changes. Our users only
have Adobe Reader.
The online help in Acrobat stated that using LiveCycle Reader extensions,
this could be done. This morning I found out that information is incorrect.
Is there anyone on the list who is using web-based PDF reviews, in
particular where the users only have Reader? We've already set up a WebDAV
enabled server, so we're good on that point, but I wasted a lot of time
chasing down Reader Extensions (and all for naught!). Any advice/help other
can give me would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
