Online review with Webdav gives "Expected a dict object"

We've been using Acrobat Pro 7.x for some time with a webdav comments store. Webdav is running on a windows 2003 server with IIS 6.

In Testing Acrobat 9 Pro - we're scratching our heads trying to figure out how to utilize this same workflow. Acrobat 9 doesn't have the same preference options under the reviewing preference that Acrobat 7 has. So I'm assuming the only way to tell Acrobat where the comment server is via an FDF file.

I've tried building a FDF file that will open the target PDF and configure the webdav server location, but I keep getting a message "Expected a dict object" when opening the FDF file. This is pretty much a copy and paste from the deployment guide. Can anyone post a simple FDF file that's know to be working?

Here's the contents of the FDF file:

%FDF-1.2
%âãÏÓ
1 0 obj

/FDF

/F (http://Server1/planreview/2931.pdf)
/JavaScript

After 2 0 R

endobj

stream
Collab.defaultStore = "DAVFDF";
Collab.setStoreSettings("DAVFDF", "http://Server1/plancomments/");
endstream
endobj

Solved my problem
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/online_collaboration.pdf was document I was copy and pasting the example from for WEBDAV config.

It's missing a / slash before "After 2 0 R"

Proper line would be:
/After 2 0 R
