Hi, I have Acrobat Pro 7.0 and I’m trying to set up “browser-based” reviews. I first enable the PDF for Reader commenting, then set up the PDF for browser-reviewing on our webdav server. Everything works great for other Pro users, but unfortunately, it seems that Reader users are not able to access the commenting tools or do any interactive commenting on these files.
Acrobat Pro 7.0 help says that I would have to use LiveCycle Reader Extensions to enable Readers to participate in the browser-based review.
Seems that I have three possible options...
[Option 1: Fix this using Pro 7.0]
Using Pro 7.0, is there any other method that would allow Readers to add comments in an interactive review?
[Option 2: Upgrade to Pro 8.0]
Has 'browser-based commenting' changed in Pro 8.0?
Otherwise, I see that Pro 8.0 has some new ‘shared-review’ features. Would this ‘shared-review’ allow me to run interactive reviews with Reader-enabled commenting?
If using ‘shared-review’, would my Reader reviewers need to upgrade to Reader 8.0?
[Option 3: Purchase LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server]
Talked with Adobe sales. It sounds like LiveCycle would solve my problem, but this sounds like a huge package (much bigger than I would need).
I truly appreciate your help
Mike
The event in Acrobat 7 Pro. that "triggers" the display of the Commenting tools (Std. and Pro.) in the browser for recipients is:
Comments --> Send for Review --> Upload for Browser-based ReviewThis process Reader-enables the PDF and recipients with Reader can participate (not in the browser) but via email or offline.
