Round-trip revisions via MS Word. Alternate methods?

[Keith Soltys]

I saw the PDF with  comments import feature being demoed at an STC meeting earlier this month and it did appear to work, at least in the simple case being shown. But the document was changed after the PDF was created and the comments ended up exactly where they should have been.

It's something I'd like to implement here but I have to wait until we get our Acrobat readers upgraded to a more current version.

Regards
Keith

Just to add to what Rick's said, there's a helpful section (6.1) in the Mif2Go manual, which you can download from the Omni Systems site, explaining just why Word doesn't play well with FrameMaker.

Just a thought, taking a more global view... FrameMaker 12 claims to be able to import PDFs with comments into the original FrameMaker source document, *even if it has changed*. I have no experience of how well it works (yet ;-), but you might want to review this new feature.
