Using Acrobat's Online Review Feature

[Neil Tubb]

Thanks Richard. I went through the same thing with the Adobe
site...until I realized that all of their various server products (Adobe
Document Server, Reader Extensions Server, etc.) are actually just part
of the Lifecycle Server product. Not that anyone thought to mention this
anywhere easily accessible at Adobe.com. Oh well.

Not Reader 6 -- Acrobat 6. Reader 7 is the first _reader_ version that
supports review/comment. But the _full_ version of Acrobat 6 (or 7)
permits collaborative review without the Adobe server software. 

BTW, good luck finding out much about the server products on the Adobe
website. When we looked into the review/comment features, I chased my
tail around their site for a couple of hours without ever finding any
pricing info -- or even detailed descriptions beyond the vague
market-speak promises and generalities. Every attempt to drill deeper
eventually led me back to where I'd come from, no wiser than before. :-}
