Collaborate with PDF-based roundtrip reviews?

[Gillian Flato]

Deanna,

In Frame 11 you can do what's called a Shared Revew. You host the doc on the Acrobat server and each reviewer can make comments and see everyone else's comments. This works very well so you don't get 5 people making the same comment. You're supposed to be able to import the comments and the changes made in the PDF back into your Frame file, but honestly, I've never gotten that to work well in Frame 10. Perhaps it works better in Frame 11.

Hi,

We are migrating from FrameMaker 7.2 to FrameMaker 11. In our current workflow, we create a PDF file and use Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional to enable commenting in it so that reviewers who don't have FrameMaker can electronically review and comment on our FrameMaker documents. We then merge the electronic comments into the PDF file and manually change the FrameMaker files accordingly.

For FrameMaker 11, Adobe advertises, "Collaborate with PDF-based roundtrip reviews." I've searched, but I can't find how these types of reviews are implemented. Can you briefly explain how this feature works? Mainly I want to know if we need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Professional X to retain our ability to solicit electronic reviews from reviewers who don't have FrameMaker or if the need for Acrobat Professional is eliminated by this feature in FrameMaker 11.

Thanks,

Deanna.
