Shared Review Comments not Saving

My System
Acrobat 10.0.0
Win 7 64 bit
Hello everyone for some reason my system is not properly uploading my comments on a shared review.  When I create a comment and select publish comments it shows a message that it was published but it doesnt.  Has anyone ver heard of this happening and have any idea on how to fix it.
Just as a side note my disributed forms seem to work fine, it just the shared review.

I have tried sending rieviews through a sharepoint server, and a network and as for the file both linked or attached.  This is the case for both reviews I post or someone else, even when others are commenting without any problems.

  • Acrobat 9.0 Shared Review COMMENTS VANISH MYSTERIOUSLY

    Has anyone had a problem with comments created on one day simply vanishing the next?
    Windows XP 2002 SP1
    Acrobat 9 Pro
    Acrobat Reader 9
    Acrobat 8 Standard
    How we start the review:
    We use Acrobat 9 Pro to create a manual shared review. This creates a review pdf in the same shared network directory as the original pdf. (I saw in an Acrobat 8 entry that this may not be good practice.) In Windows explorer, we create a shortcut file from the review file. Then we drag the shortcut file into a new Lotus Notes database that we created for storing and organizing links, and to send auto-notifications at different review milestones. We used to send the link via Notes mail, but users lose them. Users then launch the shortcut, which opens the review file. Sometimes we, the review creators open files directly from Tracker.
    The problem...
    occurs after a day or two. After creating comments, at least two of the reviewers opened the document the following day, but the comments had disappeared. I watched one reviewer open the document. The "Welcome Back" window listed the reviewers and showed the normal new/total comments. After a few seconds, THE TOTAL COMMENTS FOR ONE REVIEWER RESET TO ZERO as we watched. The comments were not in the review file. It seems that comments are normally stored inside the review files instead of in auxiliary .fdf files as they once were, or in .xml files as I saw in a recent example with Acrobat 9 on a review I restarted.
    A possibly related problem occurs sometimes when trying to close a file, even when no comments are added: A message states that there are unpublished comments and offers a publish, delete, cancel, and one other button. After clicking publish, another messages states that the file is locked. This is an endless loop and Acrobat will not close without going to the Task Manager.
    I also submitted this as a bug report to Adobe. Has anyone found a solution? Need help. Reviewers are losing hours of work.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Hi Vikas,
    We began saving the files locally and this seemed to sort out the confusion with comments disappearing and reappearing, etc.
    There are still some rough spots you may be interested in -
    1. My teammate, Russ initiated a file and sent me the link (which is a Windows shortcut file with a path to the shared document). I opened the link and the shared file opened. However I was not prompted to save it immediately as you described in step 5 above. The save prompt only appears when closing the file. So, when the user first starts working on the file it is on the shared copy.
    2. While the file was still open the first time, I created a couple of comments and clicked publish. A message appeared that I had not seen before: "1 published - 1 queued." I could still add comments, but the publish button did not become active and the check button did not respond. It was like the check/publish functions locked up but not the rest of the program. I was able to save the file locally. When I reopened the local file, the check message said 3 messages were being added (Russ published these) checking again deleted the comments, then checking again restored them. Since then, as long as we opened the local versions, commenting seemed to function normally. The key here is that opening the local copy is not enforced by the program. The program relies on users to function a certain way and does not inform them of the consequences. If Reader or Tracker knew whether a bona fide local copy existed and warned if an attempt to open the network copy was made, many of these issues would go away.
    3. Some other concerns:
    a. When a link is sent to users, there is no guarantee that they will only use it once and discard it. If they don't discard it, they will continually open the shared doc, not the local copy. When our users get busy, they take the path of least resistance, which is to find the original link and open it, rather than hunting down a file to open. In Acrobat 6 this was never a problem. Users always linked to the shared document; each user's comments were stored in outboard files (fdf) the integrity of the shared doc and users comments was never in question. We did hundreds of documents this way. Of course, everyone had 6 Standard or higher, not reader.
    b. When closing the document, Acrobat prompts to save the file. Clicking Save produces a Save AS window each time. Shouldn't this be a Save box? When users enter and close a document multiple times they must stop and decide whether to overwrite the file each time. Conversely, if there are unpublished comments and you try to close, there is a Save Draft button, which seems to save over the local file without asking. This seems backwards. If I'm editing an Indesign document and I click save, it just saves. If I want to save a variation, I click Save AS. (FYI, on my pc, Acrobat prompted to save the file in C:\temp; on Russ's pc, it prompted for \MyDocuments.)
    c. Tracker is not as easy to find as other Acrobat functions. I could not find a Tracker button to add to the toolbar. I believe that if Tracker could be selected to turn on at program start (or even start as a separate program), the users would more likely open the correct (local) file. All that users would be required to know is Start Acrobat, read links. The link they need would be visible immediately.
    I hope this gives you our perspective in the spirit of improving the product.

  • How can I see shared review comments in a PDF when connected to a SharePoint server over a VPN?

    I am using Acrobat Pro XI on Windows 7.
    When I issue a shared review, hosted on our work SharePoint server, I always encounter problems when accessing my work network from home, over a VPN. My comments do not get published, and I cannot see comments that reviewers have published.
    I issue the review PDF as an attachment when I open the review, and all reviewers save a local copy of this file. When I open the PDF, the "Welcome back to shared review..." screen is never updated with the number of comments. The server status always seems to show green, but the comment reporting mechanisms do not behave as they do at work. When I click Publish comments, I am usually asked if I wish to take ownership of unpublished comments by other reviewers (to which I click No). When I return to the office, everything seems to "just work" again. But this is hugely inconvenient if I am out of office for days on end.
    I had this problem with my previous version of Acrobat, and no satisfactory solution was ever reached. I am most dismayed to find it is still present in version XI.
    Please can anyone advise?

    I don't know if you solved this issue yet. But we have the same issue in the pass, and clean the log files under "\Synchronizer\resources\" folder seems to be a solution. Here is the thread talking about it.

  • Shared Review comment server setup issues

    I've been having some issues setting up a comment server/repository for Shared Reviews in Acrobat 8 (for our all-Mac network). I've done extensive research on how to set up a Network Folder and a WebDAV folder (since those are the only two supported methods in Acrobat 8).
    - For the Network Folder setup, I created a folder on one of the machines on our network and shared it using SMB. When specifying that location (using smb://IPAddress/Folder/), Acrobat either 1) brings up a login screen, into which I enter the proper credentials, and after pressing OK, it says the connection could not be made, or 2) it verifies the shared folder location, but when I make comments and then choose Publish Comments, a red box appears saying something to the effect of "cannot access IPAddress, will keep trying."
    - I also tried using WebDAV. Solutions I found online mostly consisted of using the Terminal to access system files and entering numerous lines of code. I pretty much had to learn about WebDAV from scratch today in order to get the Shared Reviews process set up, but I feel like there is something I'm missing regording its implementation.
    I suppose this post can be boiled down to three questions:
    1) What is the best way to set up a Shared Review system, and how can it be done in the simplest manner possible?
    2) What am I missing from my knowledge of Network Folders and WebDAV folders in this regard?
    3) Would functionality be benefited by simply upgrading to Acrobat X?
    Thank you all in advance for your responses and help. If there is any more information required in order to provide a solution, please let me know.

    The roundcube db schema needs to setup manually. See /usr/share/webapps/roundcube/INSTALL
    Also, from your /etc/webapps/postfixadmin/config.inc.php:
    $CONF['domain_path'] = 'NO';
    $CONF['domain_in_mailbox'] = 'YES';
    $CONF['maildir_name_hook'] = 'NO';
    ..which results in /var/mail/vmail/[email protected]
    From your dovecot.conf
    mail_home = /var/mail/vmail/%d/%u
    ...which results in /var/mail/vmail/domain.com/user
    That doesn't fit together.

  • Shared Review does not email invitations to reviewers

    I teach Acrobat in a junior college. I have used the Shared Review feature in Acrobat Pro 9 many times including sending a shared review to the entire class. I just tried doing that again and no one received an email invitation. I tried it again and had the same results.
    When I open the Shared Review file on my PC, I get the "Welcome Back" dialog box with all the student emails listed (see SharedReview-1.jpg). I click OK.
    Then I choose Track Reviews and that screen opens (see SharedReview-2.jpg).
    If I click Email All Reviewers, I get an error message: "An Error Occured While Sending Email."
    I sent a shared review to myself and that invitation came through properly. I sent the link in that email to students asking them to access the review that way. They were able to download the file and add a comment but the Publish Comments option did not work.
    Your thoughts.
    As an aside: Is there an upper limit to the number of persons who can participate in a shared review? I'm wondering if that is what is causing the initial Shared Review to fail. I listed 27 email addresses in the To: field.
    Jeff Sengstack

    I have been having trouble, both from home and last week from the college I teach at. I was using the Acrobat.com method for a shared review, and the emails did not go out from home this morning.
    Last week, at the college, I had to send all emails via my web email client, because we cannot have a "normal" email client working at the college on the lab computers. As an adjunct that is all I have access to at the college.
    What configuration is needed for email invitations to go out successfully?

  • Add customized tags on shared review comments

    Hi,
    We have been using shared review to do our document review heavily. Recently I got a request from our stakeholder to add customized tags so we can assign comments in different categories.
    Is it doable with some customization effort? I did some research online and found out Acrobat XI supports customization Wizard and for earlier version (we are on Pro 9), you can do customization using JavaScript, but it's not clear to me if these customization efforts can be applied on shared review PDF, or it's just on regular PDF.
    Does anyone have experience on Acrobat customization? Any thought or information will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Yunju

    Hi Ajlan,
    Thanks for the answer. I also found out about the customization wizard later. Now I'm researching how to use the wizard and deploy the customization feature we desire.
    Here are the things we want to do:
    -  Creating customized menu so we can assign comments to different categories, something like set the comment status
    -  Modify the workflow. Instead of asking reviewer to "connect" or "cancel" when they first open the PDF, we can to only show "connect"
    I also have couple of questions about the wizard:
    1. Are the features I describe above can be done through wizard?
    2. If we deploy the changes using Acrobat 9 + wizard, will users with all version Acrobat/Reader see the same end result and preform regular shared review operations without problem?
    Thanks for the answer.

  • Problems publishing shared review comments in Acrobat 8.0

    I created a shared review in Acrobat 8.0 and posted it to a Sharepoint workspace. A reviewer published comments but I was not able to see them. He double-checked, and he was able to see his comments but I was still unable to see them. He checked again, and was not able to see his comments.
    I can see comments the reviewer published on a different date, but the reviewer is no longer able to see those comments either. Has anyone had a similar experience?

    I'm having a similar problem and didn't see a solution posted.
    I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional to do shared document reviews.  I created a sharepoint shared documents folder which the shared document review process verified and accepted as a destination.
    I used the Review and Comment process to save the pdf document to the folder (enabling those using Reader to review and comment) and send an email inviting specific individuals to review and comment.
    The problem is when they open the document (using the URL in the email) they don't see the "toolbar" that lets them Publish Comments to Server.  They all have Reader 9.
    Until I figure out what the problem is, I'm using a brute force technique to force publishing comments, instructing them to close the browser and then Publish Comments using the dialog box that appears after the browser has closed.
    Any suggestions how to get the toolbar that lets them look for published comments and publish their comments to display ?

  • Shared Review Lotus Notes issue

    I'm running Windows XP, Lotus Notes 6.5 and Acrobat Pro Extended 9.2.
    I want to send a PDF for shared review on a network drive using Lotus Notes to send as attachment.  When I click the "To:" button and enter my Notes password, it comes up by default to my personal Address book in Notes.  I switch to the corporate Address book in Notes.  It takes a few moments to load (not a big deal) but when I select a person from the list, click "To:->" and hit OK, it hangs for ever.  The only way I can get it to work is to bypass the "To:" button and just manually type in the addresses.  Or choose from my personal Address book.
    I think at one time I waited for Acrobat to finish and it came up with an error that said it didn't recognize the address as an email address.  Now, my personal address book in Notes contains real addresses like "[email protected]". The corporate address book in Notes seems to have aliases like "Joe Smith/corp/domain".  The only thing I can think of is that Acrobat can't use the "aliases" in our corporate address book.  Anyway to get them to talk?
    I could use the method of saving a local copy and sending later but it would sure be nice if it could be done in one graceful step in Acrobat.

    I have now been in contact with the Adobe Technical Support in Sweden and got the following answer:
    "We have taken a closer look at the problem now, and it seems to be a bug in the program. Therefore we cannot do anything about it.
    The bug number is ##1916376.
    Good luck"
    A very disappointing answer...

  • Online Shared Review does not work

    Hi
    I have just bought Acrobat 9 Pro (which costs a fortune!) and am rather disappointed with a few things. I'll ask about one of them to start with.
    I have created a PDF and sent it to a collaborator for shared review, who does not have Acrobat but does have Adobe Reader. She is not a member of acrobat.com, but is not offered to join during the process.
    She can download the file and open it with Adobe Reader (showing the extended toolbar) but cannot connect to the server. A message states that she is probably disconneted from the internet, but this is not true.
    She is allowed to work offline and then email the document with her comments, but this is not what I want. I want comments to stay online for other reviewers to see.
    She had Adobe Reader 8 so downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 9 but this did not solve the problem. The message however changed slighty to: "The shared review location on share.acrobat.com could not be written to, or the server has run out of disk space".
    Anyone knows what could be the problem?
    Thank you
    Isabel

    Hi,
    Yes, I am getting all the questions and answers that are being posted in the forum. it goes to the junk mail and I have to clean it every day, because there are so many problems with the new Adobe, and people send so many emails. Do you know how I can stop this? Thanks a million.
    Here is an example:
    BigDog. Like Ramón mentioned, Adobe is a company not an application so it would help to know what application you are using and what version number you have. Also, what exactly are you doing when you get that error (please give step by step details).
    The more info you can give, the better chance you have of getting a solution.

  • AP workflow comments not saved after posting

    dear
    Ive posted it in controlling forum, but it had to be rather here.
    I
    when i check SAP AP workflow document overview id like to see comments entered by accountant as the reason for document parking. as soon as the document gets posted i see the approval and coding workflow path but comments are not saved any longer. do you know what might be a reason for that? why it happens? maybe it is related to specific settings for workflow?
    workflow log for the posted docs is neither showing this information.
    your advice much appreciated.
    thank you very much!
    regards
    els

    thank you for trying to help me.
    Well, it looks this way: invoice is parked as PO document via workflow and send for approval - for different reasons (price difference, no GR, any PO found etc). Accountant while parking enters comment - to inform approver about the issue.
    Sometimes the invoices bounces back already coded and ready for posting, sometimes is rejected - then we have 2nd comment as the reason for rejection. When finally invoice is ready for posting and is posted - these all comments (for parking, for posting) are disappearing. They are not saved in workflow overview history.
    The posting might be done manually via workflow, automatically, or via tcode to post parked doc. But in anyway - comments are not saved. I am sure its possible to review invoice workflow history (if appicable) and see the issues identified for that invoice (audit purposes for instance). But I dont know how to check what should be set up for the workflow to have all these comments saved in workflow overview history (not long text, not WF log).
    When i.e. you enter WF overview history you see name and action (park, reject etc) - when was clicking on that line it was seen below the screen the comment.
    Thank you very much for your help!
    regards

  • No Shared Review Commenting Toolbar

    I am still having this same problem with Acrobat XI. Has the issue been fixed where sometimes the Commenting Toolbar does not show up in a Shared Review? We have the problem that sometimes, when the file is opened, the Shared Review Toolbar is not available. But a person can sometimes reopen the same file, and it is available. Seems to be almost random whether it will be there or not. We want to use the process, as when it does work, we get the desired results. But we can't use it because we never know if the toolbar is going to be there or not.
    The setting are correct to have the toolbar open automatically.
    And information or fixes would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you, Gary

    Hi Robert,
    To initiate/participate in any acrobat.com based shared review, a user must have an acrobat.com account. It is a free account and a one time effort for all the reviewers. Also please remember that all the reviewers should use unique acrobat.com id's to participate in the review. Once all reviewers have an acrobat.com account they have to enter the details at the step " * Then a dialog opens that asks me to enter or create an Acrobat.com account.". You can choose to select "Stay Signed In" if you do not want to log in again and again. After clicking "Sign In" the user will be able to participate in the review. Moreover "On the left panel, I select to log in as guest, enter a name and click login", this option is for enabling "live collaboration and chat" for the users and this sign in will not enable the user to participate in the Shared Review.
    Please let me know if you need any more information.
    Thanks.

  • How to restore shared review comment back to PDF?

    Shared review backups the comment in XML files. If I lose the comments, how can I restore the comments back to PDF? 
    I try both import comment and import form data using the XML file, but nothing shows up. It seems only FDF or XFDF file works. Do I need to convert the XML file into FDF or XFDF? If yes, how? 
    Thanks for the hep.

    Acrobat doesn't import the XML file directly that is used in the Shared Review process.  Attempting to build the importable files is not pretty either way.  I wouldn't recommend doing this but you can do it by hand using the XML file data into the correct file syntax for proper import but you need to be familiar with the FDF or XFDF file format.  Otherwise if you are familiar with XSLT and doing transformations you should be able to do it that way too with an custom application.

  • Sent items from a shared mailbox are not saved with the shared mailbox

    I'm experiencing an issue regarding the sent items from a shared mailbox. 
    The users would like the items Sent on Behalf of a shared mailbox to be saved within this shared mailbox.
    At this moment, the Sent Items are saved in the users own mailbox.
    We have a single Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (Version 14.3 Build 123.4) and Users connecting the Exchange Server are using Microsoft Outlook 2007 (12.0.6680.5000) SP3 MSO.
    The user is granted full access permissions on the shared mailbox, and also has "Send on Behalf" permissions on the mailbox. The mailbox is setup as an "online" mailbox, so it doesn't use cached mode.
    I tried the following solutions mentioned in the various KB's and technet articles:
    Configuring the "DelegateSentItemsStyle" registry setting for this user (using a GPO)
    Configured the "Get-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration" cmdlet for this user
    Logged on to OWA and changed the "Sent Items" settings to save the sent items in both mailboxes
    None of these settings worked, not combined and neither seperately.
    Is there anyone who can help me resolving this issues?
    Thanks in advance,
    Roy Schottmans

    I am using a shared mailbox (with a disabled account) where I get sent items and also deleted items placed in the right folders.
    I think it’s just a matter of how you configure Outlook. It works well for me in both Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, cached mode and also online mode. You can add a shared mailbox to your Outlook profile in at least two ways where one of them doesn’t work
    but the other does.
    If you add the shared mailbox via the File tab/Account settings/New/ and just enter the e-mail address of the shared mailbox in the Auto Account Setup page. No name, no password, just the e-mail address and click Next and voila “Your e-mail account is successfully
    configured”. After restarting Outlook you will find the shared mailbox below your own in the left pane.
    If you click the inbox ones in the shared mailbox and then open a new mail you will see the shared mailbox display name in the From field. After sending the mail you will see the mail in the Sent Items folder of the shared mailbox. If you delete a mail in
    the shared mailbox you will see it in Deleted items folder of the shared mailbox.
    The prerequisits for this is that you have “full access” and “send as” rights of the shared mailbox.
    This was accomplished without using the Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration command.
    We are running Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4.

  • Reviewer comments not appearing in project file

    Hi there,
    This is my third month of using Captivate so I'm definitely a 'newbie' here.
    My team has created and sent out a handful of Captivate projects to subject-matter experts for their comments.  Each .crev file was linked to the appropriate networked folder with a specific 'comments folder' also linked in.
    Most of them seem to be working fine: When I open the original file and show the comments bar, the comments all appear.  However, there is one that doesn't seem to want to work.  The xml files of the comments from people are saved in the correct folder on the network, and when I open the .crev file, I can see the comments.  However, they aren't showing up on the original file.  Even when I 'import' the comments, there is a sort of page refresh, but nothing happens.
    Fortunately, we haven't received tons of comments for this project yet, so one idea I had was to just do it over again.  But I'm not sure what I would do differently so I don't get the same problem.
    Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening and what I can do to make sure it doesn't happen again?
    Thanks very much!
    Bridget

    Most certainly did :
    package com.xxxx.test1;
    import javacard.framework.*;
    public class Test1 extends Applet
    public static byte testMe()
    return (byte)1;
    }

  • Shared Object data not saving?

    saveTest.data.sample="testing"
    trace (saveTest.data.sample)
    and no, you cannot explicitly control where the sharedobject is saved.
