How to generate the MD5 hash used for storing comments of an online collaboration? I know the function "Collab.hashString() ", but i need to calculate the same MD5 in my PHP web application (because in our program we must verify if new comments are added to specific pdf document). Thanks!

Use the SOAP.streamDigest() function instead. It creates the raw MD5 encryption. I don't know what the hash function is doing. It's not base64 encoding an MD5 ecryption. It's doing something else.
