Ending a Shared Review Prior to Deadline

We have recently been testing the shared review feature. I am running 8.0 Pro. and am the initiator of the Reviews. I was wondering if there is a way to End / Finalize a Review and globally remove it from the review tracker for all participants? Thank you for your time.

Tracker is used to track all projects that you've initiated. You could Open the review file from Tracker by right-clicking on it in the left-hand panel. Once it is open in Acrobat, you can select Save As Archive Copy from the File menu -- then you can delete it from Tracker.

Shared Review Deadline Dates do not Update - Acrobat Pro. 9

I recently started two shared reviews in Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 When I attempt to extend the deadline dates on both it updates me in the tracker, but when anyone else in the reveiw attempts to add more comments they are told the review has expried.
I am the initiator of the reviews, and acording to Adobe I should be able to change the deadline date in the tracker and have it update the other reviewers so they can contine with their reviews. It does extend my deadline, but not anyone elses.
Does this function not work, should I set all shared reviews with "No Deadline"?
I am running Windows XP Pro, with 3 gig of memory, on an IBM Think Center.
The file is on a network shared folder where everyone who is reviewing has read/write rights.

Here is my system report.

Participant in Shared Review cannot access PDF

Hi,
Earlier today I intiated a shared review with some colleagues from work. I used a gmail account and Google Contacts to add reviewers and sent out the PDF. One of the participants at first signed up with an Adobe ID associated with his personal address, then chose to create another associated with his work address. However, when he uses that Adobe ID, the system will not allow him access to the shared review. In my tracker, I see his original email address listed as a reviewer with the status "Added." His work email is still in the list of "Required" reviewers. Is there any way, short of ending the shared review and starting it again, that I can grant access to his other Adobe ID?

What version of Acrobat did you use to start the Shared Review?

Can I extended the review date on the deadline date prior to the time the shared review is to end?

I am attempting to extend the deadline on the date the shared review is to end prior but prior to the time of the day it is to expire; however, only the initiator of the shared review receives the extention. Adobe saves a copy of the extended date on the initiators local drive without saving a copy to the document reviews folder on Share Point, in which the reviews would have access.
Should Adobe create a new link to the document with the deadline extended from the SharePoint copy as well?

When the Initiator changes the deadline in his copy, it gets propagated to the reviewers' copies as well. When the reviewers do a 'Check for New Comments' or 'Publish Comments', they will get notified of the new deadline.

Shared Review End Review, Deadline not working in Acrobat Pro 9 for Acrobat Reader 8 reviewers

I am testing the features of PDF Shared Reviews on a network server using Acrobat Pro 9 with reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8.1. (All are Windows users.) After initiating the review via the Tracker and having no problem getting the reviewers to comment and publish, I select End Review in the Tracker. Acrobat Pro 9 registers this action and shows that the review has ended in the yellow bar at the top of the PDF and in the Tracker. However, all the reviewers using Acrobat Reader 8 can continue to comment, publish their comments, and the comments continue to show up in the PDF posted in the network folder. That PDF file continues to say, when opened in Acrobat Pro 9 by the initiator, that it is closed for reviewing. The comments published after the review has ended continue to show up. This is true minutes, hours, and days after the review has been ended so is not a synch problem.
I cannot add comments to this PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 because Acroat Pro registers the end of the review. I can open this file in Acrobat Reader 8 on my computer and continue to add comments. This same problem exists after the deadline set initially has passed. Acrobat Reader 8 users are always able to comment and publish comments when the review should have been ended for them.
How do I get the reviews to end for Acrobat Reader 8 users?
Thanks.
Mary-Nell

Those users will have to upgrade to Reader 9 to get the deadlines working

Shared Reviews in Acrobat 9 Never End if File Kept Open

It appears that an Acrobat Pro 9 shared review does not really end until everyone has closed the document, even if the deadline has already passed.
Here are the details:
1. Using Acrobat 9 Pro I created a shared review that is hosted on a local network share
2. I select to email each participant a copy of the PDF as an attachement
3. Each participant is using Acrobat 9 pro
4. As the initiator I can either set a deadline or use the end review now option
5. Participants are notified the review has ended and are told to publish their comments (in the bar on top)
6. Participants press the publish button, their comments are published, and the Publish button greys out
7. If the participants keep the document open, they can just make any other comment or markup and the Publish button enables again. They can publish the new comments. This will happen as long as they keep the document open - minutes or even hours after the review has ended.
8. As the initiator, if I close the document and reopen it, I automatically see all comments, even those made after the review has ended
9. The only way a participant is stopped from commenting is if they close the document and reopen it. At this point they can no longer publish any comments.
So it appears every participant MUST close the document in Acrobat - something that is very hard to guarentee.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You would need to first set some javascript globals from your VBA code and then call your menu item.

How to enable a reminder for when a shared review has reached its end date?

I thought Acrobat will send the initiator of a shared review a reminder before the "end review" date is reached. This will allow him/her to check with the reviewers how they are going.
It seems we aren't receiving that reminder anymore.
When I setup the shared review process initially I thought I saw a reminder that the review is ending in a day or so.
Lately it looks like that has stopped...
We use Acrobat X Pro & Std, SharePoint and Outlook 2010
Appreciate your help

Acrobat doesn't send scheduled emails and never has done. You have the option to manually 'email all reviewers' via the Tracker dialog, and of course when someone opens the PDF they'll be told the deadline.

FrameMaker 11 will not change deadline for Shared Review

I am using FrameMaker 11's shared review and have a few documents that I can not successfully alter the deadline. The deadlines have passed and I would like to extend them. I can do this on most documents, but not on a few key ones.
Any insight is much appreciated.

This is the error I am now receiving and I cannot click the Allow access or No Thanks buttons...

Adobe XI send for shared review is missing option for Adobe online services, where did it go?

I am using Adobe XI and trying to share a PDF file using Comments --> Review ---> Send for Shared Review. The option to share via Adobe Online Services is missing. What is causing this and how do I get that option back? I am working on a Mac in Safari. Screen shot below:

With Acrobat Pro 11.0.06 I have send more 188 files for shared review with deadline in June.
After the update (automatically in May) to 11.0.07 Monday June, 2 became a cold shower to me:
1) to start a new Acrobat.com-based shared review was not possible anymore
2) tracking of my 188 reviews was not possible anymore, "no active reviews" = empty tracking list !!
My temporary solution: uninstall 11.0.07 and reinstall 11.0.00 with NO automatic updating: stop updating at version 11.0.06.
Result: the tracking list is filled with all items.
Earlier this year Adobe announced end of life of Acrobat.com-based shared reviews at the end of this year 2014.
My question to Adobe: how long is this type of shared review supported ?
My complete workflows are based on it.

Shared Review Acrobat X Shows copy of 1st review file opened

I have organized many shared reviews using Acrobat Pro from v. 8 until X. Ever since my Windows upgrade I have encountered some problems. The most egregious of these is the following: If I open up a Shared Review pdf I can only see it as I saw it the first time I opened it. For example if the first time I opened it there were 24 comments by the reviewing community, each subsequent time I open it, it shows the same amount of comments. Even if more people have commented since then. I see it on others' desktops, and they show the full review. If I opened it first when there were not comments, then each time I open it afterward, I see no comments. I can only see a full set of comments if I access the file from a computer that never opened the file at any point during the review period. For example, I opened a recent review file when it was first sent out. There were two comments at that time. 20 subsequent comments have come in since then. The initiator has since extended the deadline; however, each time I try to open it again, I see a "review ended notification" with the same two comments that I saw when I opened the file. Has anyone encountered this? I have tried to delete my cookies and other temporary internet files to no avail.

It was on Acrobat.com, so we did know that the reviewers needed Acrobat 9.x - but they were lulled into a false sense of security that it might just work anyway, since the commenting tools and so on appeared.
Basically the process went:
Reviewer click on link, signs into Acrobat.com and downloads a copy of the file to their local drive.
Reviewer opens the local copy of the file, and is warned that they need Reader 9.x, but decide to give it a go regardless.
Reviewer makes comments on the pdf, hits "Publish Comments", and nothing much happens - I check on the file, and no comments have been transferred to the server.
At this point we decide to upgrade to Reader 9, so the reviewer saves and closes the local version of the file, and downloads & installs Reader 9.3.
We open up the local copy of the file (that previously had the comments on) and, when prompted, sign into Acrobat.com.
We check through the document, looking at the comments - any comments that had been made by other reviewers that were already on the server file are present, but all of the comments that had been made on the local file were deleted, and there appeared to be no way of recovering them.
Thanks,
Dave

Not able to add reviewer to Shared Review

Hi
We've just started using the Acrobat Shared Review (on internal server) to start tracking team reviews of department documents.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended - by my understanding this should have all functionality available in the tracker etc.
I want to be able to add another reviewer to an open Shared Review but there's currently no option to do that. When I select the document in the left hand menu, the right hand pane shows the file details and the Reviewers but it only gives me the option to Email Initiator (which is me anyway) or Email All Reviewers.
Should there not be an option to add a reviewer and also to start a new review with the current reviewers?
Any help on this would be great as I've been unable to find anything useful in the Help documentation.
Thanks, in great anticipation!
Lou

Hi again!
I've no idea why this has worked - perhaps someone can explain it to me?
When I opened the tracker from my task bar - the options to add a reviewer or start a new review were not available. So, I opened the document from it's shared review location on the server and then selected 'Comments' in the top menu bar and the 'Track Reviews' option. This opened the tracker showing all the correct options - add reviewer, change deadline, end review etc.
If anyone can shed any light on this, please do, but at least I've got the options I need again and this might help anyone experiencing in the same problem!
Cheers
Lou

How to close a shared review

Hi:
I opened a shared review but did not give it a deadline. Now all the comments are in, and I want to close the review, making sure no one can enter anymore comments. How would I do that? Can I use Tracker to close the review? Exactly how?
Thanks
Mt. Ever

You can add a deadline to the review from Tracker and set it to current date and time. This way it will set the review to "Ended" state and no reviewers can add more comments.
Go to Tracker, select this review, on right hand side you should see an option "Add deadline". Click on this link and in the dialog thats shown now, select 'Review Deadline' and set it to current time. Click Ok on all open dialogs. This will set the new deadline. Now when you or any reviewer does a check for new comments/publish comments, the yellow colored Document Message Bar in your review will reflect the new deadline.
Hope this helps.

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 Reviews on SharePoint 2010 Won't Open on 11.0.09

Does anyone else run shared reviews on SharePoint 2010? Since the 11.0.09 update shared reviews will not open in IE 10 or 11 causing a fault in it's Data Execution Prevention. Our marketing team is up in arms at this point as our help desk has to consistently go and remove Acrobat and reinstall it back to some prior version. Inevitable though, someone will take the update again and bring things to a crashing halt.
Our network team is unwilling to disable DEP so I've found some articles on how to have them disable Acrobat updates through group policy. Adobe just seems to be ignoring this so I'm not sure I have any alternative but thought I'd ask first, if anyone else is having this issue and been able to find another way around it?
Otherwise disabling updates seems to be our only option but that means locking them down to the original purchased version. Not ideal but it's essentially where we are today anyway.
Thanks.

Acrobat 9.0 Shared Review problem

Hello,
I upgraded to Acrobat 9.0 professional from 8.0 professional, and can no longer create a shared review. I did a complete uninstall of 8.0 prior to the 9.0 installation. I am running Windows XP Professional w/ Service Pack 3 on a Core2 Quad CPU @ 2.40 GHz using 3.25 GB RAM.
I have never had any issues with the shared review on Acrobat 8.0, but now just prior to completing the setup process for the review, I receive a dialog message stating "Status: Could not save the shared review-enabled PDF file". Options include: Retry (non-productive) and Cancel (which does work). "Cancel" terminates the process.
What leads up to this event is similar to the routine I followed under Acrobat 8.0.
1. Save pdf from FrameMaker.
2. Move pdf to publicly accessible folder on network.
3. Open pdf.
4. Select Comments > Send for Shared Review...
5. Select "Automatically collect comments on my own internal server".
6. Click Next.
7. Select "Network folder" radio button.
8. Click Browse to navigate to pdf location. Status confirms that "Shared folder location is valid".
9. Click Next.
10. Select "Send it automatically using Adobe Acrobat" radio button.
11. Select "As a link within the message".
12. Click Next.
13. Type a name for the server profile (e.g. "Test")
14. Click Next.
15. Click To and add addressee(s).
16. Click Send. "Create Shared Review" dialog box states "Status: Could not save the shared review-enabled PDF file".
17. Click Cancel.
I have searched for this message ("Status: Could not save the shared review-enabled PDF file") and only found a TechNote indicating that "...with Acrobat 9.0 you no longer need to Reader-enable a PDF before you send it for Shared Review; this is done automatically." I'm not doing this, so it appears to be unrelated to my problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Sorry for the long post and thanks for any help.

We are getting this on certain machines and not others. I can't seem to be able to find a rhyme or reason. We are trying to initiate reviews on a shared internal network location.
A few questions for the forum:
Does Owner rights matter on the share that the review file is to be stored in? Currently we have Modify rights for all participants and initiators.
Does it make a difference which updates are installed past 9.0? Does it make a difference if Pro and Reader are installed?
Can someone confirm that the Acrobat.com is required to be installed on the machine? I noticed on the latest installs of reader acrobat.com application is not installed.
I'm posting this now because I haven't seen a clear cut answer to:
Could not save the shared review-enabled PDF file
