Collaborate with PDF-based roundtrip reviews?

[Harpreet Singh Seehra]

Hi,


You can import comments from a tagged PDF directly into the source FrameMaker document and reduce the time taken to fix comments. You can incorporate suggestions and edits from multiple reviewers participating in a shared PDF review much faster into the source document.However, for comments to import correctly, it is important that you generate a tagged PDF and after generating the PDF you do not modify the source FrameMaker document. If you make changes in the source FrameMaker document, and then import PDF comments, the comments may not be imported at the correct location. When saving a FrameMaker file as a PDF, ensure that you select the Generate For Review option in the PDF Setup For Selected File dialog box. Selecting this option creates a tagged PDF. You can import comments only from PDFs created using FrameMaker 9 or above and that's too it should be part of Technical Communication Suite.

If you don't have TCS and you only have Framemaker 11 then you have to follow the same workflow that you are following with Frame 7.2

Subject: Collaborate with PDF-based roundtrip reviews?

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.
