Is shared review supported in Acrobat Standard XI?

Can we setup shared reviews using Adobe Acrobat Standard XI?
I read somewhere that shared reviews initiated with Acrobat Standard can only be participated through Acrobat (Pro/Standard) and for Adobe Reader participation, reviews should be initiated through Acrobat Pro. Is this correct?

You can manage Shared Reviews in Acrobat XI Pro or Standard. The difference between Pro and Standard related to applying extended rights to PDF files that turned on the additional markup tools panels, but in Reader XI those are available anyway.

  • 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 Web Server - Acrobat 9.0 Pro

    Hey All
    I'm trialling Acrobat v9 with a view to improving invoice approvals within the business. Firstly, I thought of using the "workflow approval" process, but this doesn't appear to be available.
    So, I decided to use the "Share Review" process but I'd like to utilise our internal intranet server but I can't work out exactly how to define the web server - I'm using IIS and have created a virtual directory http://intranet/approvals with read \ write permissions on the virtual directory and also shared the folder with "everyone full control" share permissions and "everyone full control" security permissions.
    however, when I come to test and add the server in Acrobat using the shared review process, I enter the address as http://intranet/approvals but the status is returned as "undefined".
    Can anyone help?
    Will also welcome anyones suggestions \ experiences of invoice approval processes on Acrobat as I'm a complete newbie!
    Thanks

  • 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 problem on Acrobat 9

    We upgraded 25 users from Acrobat 7 and 8 to Acrobat 9.3.3.  Shared Reviews don't seem to work anymore.  Previously we used an in-house webdav server for this.  I have tested that as well as a network folder.  The wizard steps along just fine until the final screen where I enter email addresses.  Then I click Send and absolutely nothing happens.  I can cancel or go back to previous screens, but the Send button does nothing.  It is not grayed out.
    The deployment was done from an administrative install point using a transform that was created by the Customization Wizard.
    Any ideas appreciated.  Thanks,

    WebDAV method is available in Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X both. Could you please tell more details how are you setting up the review? You will find the option for Webdav at the same dialog where you could see the option for Network folder in Acrobat 9 and X. Are you choosing the option 'Save a local copy and manually send it later" or "Send automatically using Acrobat"? If you choose the manual option, Acrobat does not send out emails to reviewers. If you choose the latter option, an email gets sent to all reviewers.

  • Shared Review - Network Drive - Acrobat X PRO problem [Urgent]

    Hello,
    We have a licensed genuine product of Adobe Acrobat X PRO in a company. When user is using shared review pdf on network drive ; sending as attachment works normally, sending as message (with a path to the network drive) it says an error (profile).
    The error message is shown below.
    What is the solution?
    We have few users with same rights, so the rights should not be the problem? registry? installation?
    We also had a problem with tracker. (With Programs - and Repair option on AdobeAcrobatX solved the problem, now it works...)
    This error is strange.
    Thanks for any information.

    Any tip or solution anyone, please?

  • Shared review problems with Acrobat X Pro

    I have used Acrobat X Pro many times to create a shared review without any problems. Yesterday I went to share a few files for review and kept getting the error "could not save the shared review enabled pdf file." I googled this problem and have tried all suggestions I could find, but none really worked. I deleted and recreated the PDFs and eventually got 3 of the 4 documents to send (I have ABSOLUTELY no idea how) but can't get the last one to send. I keep getting the same error. I tried deleting and re-installing Acrobat. The file is not in the same location as my server. The only difference from the other 3 documents is the content. They were all generated the same way (SmartPDF in Altium). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any tip or solution anyone, please?

  • 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

    You need to initiate a shared review from Acrobat Pro.

  • Shared Review with Acrobat 9 Trial and Thunderbird

    I'm trying to demonstrat the shared review functionality of Acrobat 9 to a client I'm working for. I've installed a trial version, and created a shared network folder. I'm trying to send the email to initiate the review, but when clicking Send, nothing happens. The client uses Thunderbird as its email client. As far as I know Acrobat 9 supports Thurnderbird, so is there a problem with using the trial version for this?
    Regards
    Mark

    Hi Christian,
    Please set Outlook as default mail client and see if review can be initiated successfully or not.
    Also note that, Lotus notes 9 is not officially supported with Acrobat 9.

  • Acrobat 9, shared reviews, and looking for "Save As" option

    Hello to all,
    I am wondering whether you can help with an annoyance in setting up shared reviews under Acrobat 9.
    Background: I first established shared reviews at my company using Acrobat 8 and our own internal WebDAV server. The setup worked, and still works, marvelously. To set up a shared review, I would select "Send for shared review", select the previously-stored server profile, request to save the file locally, give the review PDF a name, and save it. I'd then post the file to one of various locations specific to our company, and all was well.
    Then the company upgraded me to Acrobat 9. Its shared-review user interface is slightly different - and contains one particularly annoying aspect. It, too, allows you to save the shared-review server address as a profile - but when you do so, you inexplicably lose the ability to choose a name or a location for the shared-review PDF. When you first set up the server, Acrobat 9 prompts you for a file name and a location - and it never does so again. Instead, any time you select the server profile, Acrobat automatically appends a "_review.pdf" suffix to the file name and saves it in the same directory as the original file. This is annoying because I almost never save the review PDFs in the same folder, and need them to have different names both in the PDF file name and on the comment server. So I really need the functionality that Acrobat 8 offered - namely, to select which file name and destination to use for the review PDF. The workaround (re-create the server profile every time) is even more annoying - we work with about 50 reviews per day, and having to retype the server address & verify it every time would get old very fast.
    Does anyone know what I'd have to do to bring back Acrobat 8-style "Save As..." functionality for an existing shared-review profile in Acrobat 9?
    Thanks and best regards,
    --Michael

    > When using Save As to save a PDF, is it possible to have Commenting and Analysis enabled for that saved PDF by default?
    No.

  • MOSS 2010 Shared Review Not Connecting For All Reviewers (Acrobat 9 and X (Std and Pro) and Reader9)

    I am using SharePoint 2010 for Shared Review.  Most of the testing has been successful with a few minor problems.  The biggest has been that some are not getting the connection request.  The document for review opens immediately either in the user's browser or Adobe Acrobat or Reader.  We have not been able to nail down the reason yet.  But, it has happened on systems running Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat X Pro.  We have had success with others using Acrobat X Pro and Reader 9.
    What I am most confused on is why some of our users are not getting the request to connect to the SharePoint workspace to do their review.  If they go through Windows Explorer to where the file is located to open it directly, it asks the user to Check Out the file and then Save & Continue.  If they do this, they seem to lose the ability to publish their comments directly to the server.  They don't even get the options to check for new comments.  The file is opened and they are able to work with it like a normal file.
    What could we have done wrong that caused this?  Each the users has the appropriate permissions to the SharePoint site.  I have noticed in the tracker that the two that had the issues don't have their name or title appear.  I checked both of them in the Identiy section of the Preferences and their name, title, organization and email are all missing.  Only their UserID is shown.  Could this be part of it?  We were all using the same intranet wireless system.  All users were able to open the review file.  When someone receives the link for review through the email, does the link verify through the email address listed in the prefences?

    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 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.

  • Shared Review: Acrobat Pro 9; Reader 8 issues

    Hi,
    I've been experimenting with the Shared Review features on Acrobat 9 Pro, and we've run into some slightly odd behaivour.
    I created a PDF file, sent it for a shared review, and waited for the comments.
    All three reviewers started with Reader 8, received the link, and opened the file easily enough. They each received a warning telling them that they needed Reader 9 or higher to comment on the document, but the document then opened, displayed the commenting tools and the "Publish Comment/Check for new comments" buttons.
    Naturally enough, they all began commenting away anyway, assuming that it would probably be OK, and all published their comments to the server.
    I went online to check for new comments, and found none.
    We went round and upgraded to Reader 9, assuming that that was the issue. Once the upgrade had installed, they opened their previous PDF files (with quite a few comments on) and connected to the server.
    At this point, all their previous comments were deleted, rather than being transferred to the server! This is really quite worrying - surely if this behaviour will occur (all comments deleted on upgrade), then a user should not be allowed to comment at all before upgrading. Is there a workaround? Are the comments still found on the old copy of the document, and are merely just hidden?
    I'd certainly be worried that, were I to send out a document for review to a group of less technically-minded reviewers, we could easily end up with a situation where we'd lose days of work due to them assuming that they could get away with this old version, as all the buttons seemed to be there.
    Anyone else had this problem, or suggestions of ways to work around it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    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

  • 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,
