How to set up a shared review with Acrobat XI

Hi Brian,

You can go into Tracker (View > Tracker) to reset the deadline.

Thanks,
Lori

Hi, On a shared review, the review has ended. How can I re-open this document for further shared review?
Thank you,
Brian

Hi Erik Terkelsen,

What version of Acrobat are you using? Do you have all the latest updates installed? Previously there was a syncing issue but it was fixed with the latest updates.

Thanks,
Lori

Hi EJ Rice,

I believe it had a lot to do with accessibility on mobile devices. The newer version of acrobat.com (cloud.acrobat.com) can easily be accessed on all sorts of devices but the older version could not.

Thanks,
Lori

I have nine different PDF’s that were originally copies of the same PDF but with different language-layers active. I have flattened the layers and the files are renamed.

When I send one of these files for e-mail review, it works fine. However, if I try to send any of the other files, I get a message that I can’t since this file has already been sent for review.

It seems like all documents still refer to each other. I have tried to remove all metadata by saving an optimized PDF but I can’t get rid of this information.

Any ideas how to send each of these files with different languages for an e-mail based review?

Lori, thanks for letting me know. Do you know why Adobe discontinued the use of Acrobat.com? This seems like a real limitation for a lot of companies.

Hi EJ,

Unfortunately no. You can find more details about this here:

Does a Dropbox folder count as a web server folder? My company, like a lot of modern startups I presume, doesn’t use shared servers.

Thank you Lori, appriciated

Hi Ahmed Naufal,

There is an Action on the Exchange that can export comments to Excel but you’ll need the Pro. version to use it:

Hi doug,

Do this web folder support the webdav protocol? This blog has additional information on setting this up with a web folder:

The status information is found under View > Tracker and click on Reviews.

Thanks,
Lori

Unfortunately, you don’t mention how this works if one chooses to use their own Web server. No matter what I try, Adobe keeps stating, “The Shared Folder Location provided is not valid. Click OK and check the Status field for more information.”

I have tried several different web based folders and locations, all with full permissions.

BTW, where is this Status field? I don’t know what field Acrobat is referring to?

Hi Gonzalo Becerra,

Are you referring to how you go about incorporating all your comments back into the original document? If so, roundtripping is only possible with Word and AutoCad files. Here is a tutorial on how to do this with Word files:

Thanks,
Lori

Once the steps are performed, we will have a new file named _review.pdf right? once we already receive all the comments/review how can we proceed?
