Change Tracking in FM 7.1 for doc review?

[David Spreadbury]

If you are delivering documents as PDF, using Adobe Acrobat, then you have a tool.
 
Just enable commenting in your review PDFs. Your reviewers, using Acrobat Reader, can insert comments, redline, mar out, etc. You can then combine all of the comments received into one file, with the comments annotated as to who each came from.
 
Look around Adobe's site. There are numerous articles, and  tutorials, on how to implement an Acrobat Review strategy.

Unless all of your reviewers has Frame, it doesn't make sense.
Alternate suggestions:

1) PDF comments

2) Code Collaborator or a similar application that enables everyone to
mark up the document (i.e., PDF) in a central location. IOW, everyone
can see everyone else's comments. Code Collaborator is intended for
code reviews but it worked well for us reviewing documentation.
