Adobe Pro 9 Shared Review Issues

I have run into an issue with a "Shared Review" on a document. I am using Windows 7 Pro SP1; Dell Vostro 260, Processor i3-2120, 8GB RAM, 64 Bit OS. Adobe Pro 9 is the Adobe product that I am using to initiate the review process. The document was on the company server with an original copy in another folder for back-up purposes. So that means I had the original in one folder and the document for review in another. Now here is the problem, I went to the document that was designated for review:
Adobe Pro 9
1. Opened Document
2. Comment - "Send for Shared Review"
3. "Pop-Up" appeared "Send for Shared Review"
4. Under "How do you want to collect comments from your reviews?" Selected "Automatically collect comments on my own internal server"
5. "Where would you like to internally host your shared review file", Selected "Network Folder"
6. Selected folder from appropriate network folder
7. Attached names for reviewers
8. Each reviewer entered and no problems there
Now upon working along through other PDF documents one of my co-workers noticed that every PDF document that was opened anywhere on our internal server has the "Shared for Review" integrated somehow. How do I go about fixing this issue? This is going to cause major issues on our internal server for this to be the situation.
Also how do you remove the track for review from a document? This is being asked since the share for review has attached even to my original document and I cannot change it.

Obviously there were no answers to this issue. In reading this was an ongoing issue that has yet to be resolved within Adobe. It appears to go back several years with numerous threads on very similar issues. Does Adobe just not care about this that anyone can see. As a small business the constant upgrading is very inefficient cost wise.

Unable to Share a PDF from Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro for Shared Review-Permissions Issue

Hi,
I get the following message while trying to initiate shared review for a document.
Please help.
Regards,
Himani

No updates recently - except possibly whatever Microsoft updates automatically (security, etc.).
What is quite strange is this specific isolated instance:
If I am in a Word document, then highlight and select (Ctrl C) a range of text, then go to Acrobat 9 Pro and try to create a PDF from that clipboard text, I get the above error. However, if I select text from another program, such as a web page, then Acrobat does not complain when I try to create a PDF from the clipboard, and everything proceeds as expected.
So that makes one think that the issue is with Word; however, I sometimes (and "sometimes" is the operative word) get the error when taking text from Excel. But sometimes not.
Is it Microsoft? But that is strange, as all this worked a few days ago - specifically on Friday 9/3. I use this feature daily,
And, as I mentioned before, trying to create a PDF from an entire Word file also does not work (create from File).

Acrobat Pro X Shared Review email issue

One of our agency users is having problems sending shared reviews. When she gets to the final step of sending the shared review the TO: field will not allow her to add e-mail addresses either manually or via the Outlook address book. This happens sporatically for her, but not for other users and is a recent occurance.
The machine is Windows XP, Office 2007, Adobe Pro X. SharePoint 2007 and Outlook is the e-mail client. We create shared reviews by collecting comments on our own internal server > SharePoint Workspace > Send Automatically Using Adobe Acrobat > As a link within Message. The reviews are given a unique server profile for each review and each review is given it's own workspace.

Did she install Outlook after installing Acrobat X? Although this should not create any issue but still running a repair for Acrobat might help.

Adobe Shared Review issue with webhosted sharepoint services

Can someone please tell me what the issue may be when I try to send for shared review to a webhosted sharepoint site; I instantly receive this error without being prompted to login. When i select to send for review hosted through Adobe.com it works perfectly. I am able to go directly to this sharepoint site and login. Is there something stopping this on the local computer, firewall (port) etc? I have redone rights, workspaces, libraries but still cannot get past this error. HELP!

Can you share more details about the OS and Acrobat version?

Adobe Acrobat Pro X Shared Review Process

I have a problem when addressing to one person's name when trying to send a review PDF. As shown in the image, the person's name does not bet recognized in MS Outlook. At this time, this is the only person's name that fails. However, I can send this person an e-mail through Outlook without a problem. Once I get the dialog box shown above, I get into a loop that I cannot get out of without cancelling. One time, it managed to send this person the review PDF and they stated that their name appeared twice in the To: field. Has anyone had this same problem?

I was just suggesting some troubleshooting ideas. I do know people have reported similar buggy behavior, for example: http://acrobatusers.com/forum/collaboration-commenting/shared-review-not-reading-outlook-g oups-members-correctly/

Acrobat Pro 9 Shared Review

I'm evaluating a copy of acrobat 9 pro and I am trying to create a shared review on our internal network. I can create the shared review and everything works fine except that the toolbar to publish the comments is not there. The toolbar shows initially after the file is created, but when I get out and go back into it, there is no toolbar. None of the other reviewers on other computers can see the toolbar either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Vikas,
To answer your questions:
1. Do all reviewers have a local copy of the review file, or is it kept at a shared location and everyone is commenting on it.
- I have tried it both ways with the same results. Our preference is to keep the PDF in a shared location so that all reviewers can see each others' comments. (Since the problem began, we have lost that capability, and the "semi-workaround" is to email each reviewer the PDF, each reviewer makes comments locally, and emails it back to the writer. This is less than ideal as each review cannot see each other's comments... However, I was able to publish them "on behalf".
2. Are you only having trouble with publishing new comments or is it that you cannot see earlier added comments also.
Reviewers are unable to publish their newly-added comments as there is no Publish button/icon. If I have published another's comments on their behalf, they can see them. However, they cannot Reply - as the Reply button is disabled.
3. Are there some specific files with which you are having trouble or is it a generic problem.
It happens with all files, so it is generic. Anyone who has Reader 9 has no Publish button when opening a shared review generated from Acrobat 8.
Thanks for any help you can provide. We are hoping the problem resolves when we upgrade to Acrobat 9 but that alas will not be until sometime in the new year, hopefully.

Acrobat Pro 8 Shared Review not annotatable by Reader 9

I am using Acrobat Pro 8 to create shared review PDFs.
Reviewers who have upgraded to Reader 9 are suddenly unable to add comments. The Comment and Markup toolbar is not displayed, and the Comment and Markup option is absent from the Tools menu and the View > Toolbars menu. If we go View > Toolbars > More Tools, then select Comment & Markup Toolbar, we get a message saying that it cannot be enabled.
We discovered that they could still annotate documents that they had previously opened with Reader 8 before upgrading to Reader 9. Reviewers using Reader 8 have none of these problems with the same document(s).
Short of my upgrading to Acrobat Pro 9 to create the shared review PDFs, is there a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Marta Cepek

Adobe Pro X silent install issue SCCM - Error Code 1602

Hi guys,
I've looked through some of the forums but was wondering if you could help out with an issue I'm having with Adobe Pro X silents installs on Windows 7 64bit machines though SCCM.
I have tested the install on my machine and its works fine so I know the packages are ok for both Adobe Pro and also the Design Standard package I created using the Deployment Tools. Although I did uninstall Adobe Pro 9 on my machine before running the package. Adobe Pro when run manually asked for Outlook and Internet Explorer to be closed down before it would install, but on the silent install it just fails. Is there any way to get round this issue?
The error message in SCCM on the machine in question in SCCM is
The program for advertisement "NWK20030" failed ("NWK00011" - "Adobe_Pro_X"). A failure exit code of 1602 was returned.
User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Possible cause: Systems Management Server (SMS) determines status for each program it executes. If SMS cannot find or correlate any installation status Management Information Format (MIF) files for the program, it uses the program's exit code to determine status. An exit code of 1602 is considered a failure.
Solution: For more information on the exit code, refer to the documentation for the program you are distributing.
The packages is rolled out to the users rather that the machines and we ideally need to keep it this way due to the set up we have. On the machine it hasnt been installed and just comes up with the 1602 error message. I will try some other machines / user accounts but I believe the same issues will come up.
Is there anything I could try to resolve this issue? I have tried a great deal of things but maybe I need a fresh mind and its a little fried!!
Thanks for your help in advance peeps...

Is this an MSI error or Acrobat error? Post a log.
Also, Per-user installs are not supported.

Adobe Pro 9 Property Bar issue - No Current Selection

I'm using AP9 Extended. For some reason when I click on Ctrl + E the Property Bar will not display. I get a "No current selection" on one of the bars that are activated. It appears that the only way I can get the Property Bar to display is by highlighting text within a text box that I've created. Once the text is highlighted the Property Bar will display and provide the opportunity to modify text but it will not remain active when I load another .pdf and I have to repeat this "manual process".
Question: Did Adobe make it this way or is it a glitch?
I never had this problem with Adobe Pro 7 or 8.
I'm using XP Home SP3.

I'm not sure if it applies to you, but when I have two (or more) copies of acrobat open I too get "no current selection" & greyed out problems
See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/851/cpsid_85102.html
it also seems to lead to the "invalid annotation object" problems

i mean creating a layer mask and painting it back in with the paintbrush.
Yes that is normal. I have no problem with CS6, No lag or hesitation.
A tip for you if your creating the mask using a copy of a color channel. Set the brush blending mode to "Overlay" This will protect the mask Black and White areas. You will only be able yo paint in gray areas of the mask. When areas turn 0,0,0 Black or 255,255,255 White they become protected too. Use a Wacom tablet soft brush low opacity and many strokes

Shared review feature between Acrobat 9 pro and Adobe Reader???

I have a question about Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro & the Shared Review feature. I hope that it allows me to take a pdf document, share it with others that only have the free Adobe Reader (not Standard or Pro Acrobat), and allow them to markup the document and send it back to me so I can save the new marked up pdf document. Is that what Shared Review does, or do the others have to also own a paid copy of some Acrobat program (Standard, Pro, etc.)?
Thanks in advance!

That’s correct. Others can participate using Reader in the shared reviews.

Shared Review: Synchronization issues... Help!

Hi!
Context:
We make extensive use of Adobe Acrobat for shared reviews using email attachments and links.
A couple of writers in the team have upgraded to use Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with others using Pro 9.
Our shared email reviews make use of an internal web server folder
Problems:
During a recent trial using PDFs sent as links, we have encountered a significant number of cases where comments were:
a) Not visible to all reviewers/initiator.
b) Visible to the reviewer adding the comment, but not visible to others.
c) Lost to all users.
Note, that we experienced the same issues when using PDF sent as email attachments.
In most instances, we have been able to access the internal web server folder and see the review PDF with associated XML review files, using Windows Explorer or a Web browser. However at times we have also lost review comments, where the XML files were not created.
We have a number of reviewers that work from various locations and connect using VPN and the local network. In all situations, the Web server folder can be accessed and updated by the user.
Whilst different connections may cause problems for Adobe Acrobat, we have experienced situations where:
The Publish button was clicked
The PDF was closed and no warning was given that review feedback was not saved in the Web server folder.
Related Issue from 2010:
In my search for answers, I came across the following entry from 2010, that refers to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3325019#3325019
Today, I opened a review file with review XML files visible in the Web server folder, however Adobe Acrobat XI PRO did not display any comments.
However, after removing the contents of the \AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\11.0\Synchronizer\resources folder, Adobe Acrobat displayed all comments as expected.
Solution ?
I cannot expect all initiators and reviewers to clear down the \synchronizer\resources folder on a regular basis to clear out issues with the files created by Adobe Acrobat.
Similarly, I cannot expect reviewers to restrict working on shared reviews to when they are directly connected to the office network rather than via VPN.
The "solution" presented in the above entry suggests a temporary workaround, however, given that the entry was reported 3 years ago with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, I am concerned that this issue continues to persist through to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro!
Can anyone suggest a more permenant solution to the problems above?
Just a thought...
Is it possible and straightforward to switch off the Adobe synchronizer?
What would be the impact of switching off the Adobe synchronizer?

Hi there,
I am having a similar problem, wherein I could not reliably retrieve comments on a PDF for which I was the review initiator. It seemed I had fixed the problem by manually deleting all the resource files. I was able to reply to comments and publish new comments. However, now I am not able to retrieve my own comments, nor can anybody else (other non-reviewers) see the comments I published.
I am looking at the XML files on our server that hosts our PDFs and there is one XML file that I believes pertains to the comments I made and published. However, it is empty of comments. I'm pretty desperate to retrieve these comments, as they represent a day or so of work for me and other innocent third parties.
Is there any other way to retrieve these comments? I have a bunch of deleted "resources" files from last week, I'm wondering if there is any way to force-sync to one of these resource files? Might the resource files contain my comments? I can't accept that the comments are just lost in the ether when I was getting "successfully published" messages from Adobe each time I clicked "publish comments."
Another thing to note: Every time I open the "_review.pdf" file, the "Welcome Back to Shared Review" screen shows a different server name in the "Review Server" line. That seems a bit troubling, no? Is it possible that my XML files are stored on a different server than the server that hosts the PDF file? In which case I can troll through all of our servers for the XML files that contain the missing PDF comments?
Help help please help.

Shared Review - Microsoft Outlook does not recognize recipients

Hello!
I am using Adobe Acrobot 9 Pro to try for a Shared Review of a document. I get as far as selecting people to send the document to. I click the "To" button which then goes into my companys Outlook contacts, and then after selecting a name I get the following error:
"Microsoft Outlook does not recognize "Inc./ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recpients/cn=cbuttars".
I know the cbuttars at the end of the error is the username I am sending the review to.
Does anyone know how to get past this error? Google was not very helpful in this situation.
Thank You!

We are having the same issue of trying to send a Shared Review from Adobe Pro XI and getting a error. We are currently using Outlook 2010. Hope someone from Adobe support can answer this issue and other Shared Review issues that are related in nature.

Shared review not working for Acrobat Reader

I can not believe have not been able to find an anwer to this, sorry if it has been asked before.
I am trying to setup shared review with clients running Acrobat Standard XI and Acrobat Reader XI, I am currently using a Sharepoint server for the review server if it matters.
When I send a shared review from Acrobat Standard XI to a user on Acrobat Reader XI, the user is unable to make shared review comments. The shared review will work when sent to other Standard or Pro XI users. Any ideas? I have been looking at this for sometime now, and know the user has full rights to the Sharepoint server. Is there some setting I am missing in Reader?
Thank you
Update:
I may be finding my own question, but really can not verify. Must you have Acrobat Pro for shared review to work with Reader? (I only have standard for pc)

Priyanja, your statement is ture. Reviews initiated with Acrobat Standard can only be participated through Acrobat Pro or Standard. However, this is NOT by design. It is a bug. The Adobe website makes this very clear. The site is: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/shared-pdf-document-reviews.html
