Yes. I just went back and looked at the online video. They are calling it 
"PDF shared review," but there is not one word of mention of it in the FM9 
user guide, nor of the File> Save as PDF (Send For Review) menu item in FM9. 
I can see in my existing Acrobat 9 Pro an option to Send for Shared Review, 
so it's clear that I can send a PDF for review, and get back the changes, 
but not clear if the standalone version of FM9 can import the changes 
directly into FM9-- or if that's a feature available only in the TCS version 
of FM9.
