Reader X compatible with Acrobat 9 shared review

I need to know if I can initiate a shared PDF review with Acrobat 9 and include reviewers running Reader X and Reader 9.
If anyone has info on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

So presumably a Shared Review started with Acrobat 9 could also be responded to with Reader X? I have such a user that can't seem to connect to the review, though he can open the document.

Adobe Reader 8 compatible with Acrobat Standard and Pro 7?

Our organization has Adobe Reader 7 deployed to all users. Some users also have Acrobat Standard 7 or Acrobat Pro 7. We want to upgrade all users to Adobe Reader 8 (or maybe 9) but do not want to upgrade Standard and Pro users yet.
I have not been able to find any information about compatibility issues with Reader 8 and older versions of Acrobat, but last time we did an upgrade in similar fashion we experienced issues. Any insight?

Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.

PDF Documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0

Which version (Standard, Pro or Ext Pro) of Adobe Acrobat 9.0 family should I buy to create PDF documents compatible with Acrobat Reader 5.0 ????
Is it possible to create PDF files from HTML and navigate through the links ????
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer.
Related to my first question (compatibility with Acrobat Reader 5.0), how should I save the PDF created ???? Saving the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.0 with standard save option makes the document not readable by Acrobat Reader 5.0.
Should I save the document as PDF/A, PDF/X or any other subset ????? If so, I'm not sure if they are included in the Standard.
Thank you in advance.

Acrobat Shared Review Problem

One of my offsite SMEs cannot view PDFs I generate for Acrobat shared review. None of my other offsite SMEs report the same problem and all access the network using the same VPN. In her case, the PDF displays with the text blacked out (as though it's highlighted) and she's unable to connect to view existing shared comments or to add her comments. She's developed a work around (saving files and opening them from her hard drive), however, this removes her from the shared review process.
She uses the most current version of Acrobat Reader and I generate my PDFs using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
Thoughts?

A couple of questions:
1. Is she able to see the file contents if she chooses to work offline in the shared review by selecting 'Work Offline' option from the yellow colored bar on top in the shared review when opened in Reader?
2. Does this occur with every shared review file that she is opening or with some specific PDFs only?
3. Which Reader version does she have?
Thanks,

Acrobat Shared Review: Sluggish Response

I've used the Acrobat shared review process daily for a couple of years, creating files with v. 9.4.0. The last few weeks I've experienced difficulty opening and navigating PDF files, especially those that contain SME comments. Any thoughts about why this is happening? Others on my team don't report this problem.

Acrobat Pro in general is slow, but particularly so with shared review PDFs I open through Tracker. It's difficult to navigate through shared review PDFs, open comments, etc. Until about three weeks ago I had no problem opening or navigating through PDFs. I can't think of any reason this started.
Our desktop support team are the system administrators and I'll need to provide them with specific information about what to do to fix this issue.
I really appreciate your help. This problem is impacting my workflow, making it increasingly difficult to get my work done.

Acrobat Shared Review - Possible Upgrades?

Is it possible to put a contract in place to get upgrades to Acrobat Shared Review:
1. New data fields to sticky notes such as: issue title, issue description, applicable section/paragraph or requirement not being met, proposed solution.
2. Custom Status field - more than just the 4 currently available
3. a better export functionality to be able to export these to an external database application
thanks

FM 9 compatible with Acrobat 8?

I'm evaluating a trial version of FM9.
I already had Acrobat Standard 8 installed, so I skipped the PDF option of the FM9 install based on past experience with FrameMaker's built-in partial Acrobat distribution trashing Acrobat Proper.
FM9 (as noted in some previous topics here) would not save as PDF. I repaired Acrobat 8, no change. So as to continue with the evaluation, I installed a trial of Acrobat 9, but I don't want to buy it as it has no new features I need.
So is there a way to get FM9's Save as PDF feature to recognize and use Acrobat 8?
By the way, any Adobe types who are following this, your proprietary download manager is horribly buggy and slow, you should dump it. Also, the Acrobat 9 installer is preposterously slow (took overnight), you should switch to whatever you're using for FrameMaker 9, which worked OK.

Some correlation between FrameMaker and Distiller may be useful.
Some snippets from Adobe TechNotes.
"You can create PDF files in Adobe FrameMaker by saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF file or by printing to the Adobe PDF printer. Both methods use Adobe Acrobat Distiller..."
and
"Make sure that you use a version of Acrobat Distiller that is compatible with FrameMaker."
FrameMaker 8.0.4 (p277) is compatible with Acrobat 9 .
FrameMaker 8.0 is compatible with Acrobat Distiller 8.0.x.
FrameMaker 7.2 is compatible with Acrobat Distiller 7.0.
FrameMaker 7.1p116 is compatible with either Acrobat Distiller 6.0 or 7.0.
FrameMaker 7.1b023 and 7.1p114 are compatible with Acrobat Distiller 6.0.
FrameMaker 7 shipped with Distiller 5.05
FrameMaker 6 shipped with Distiller 4.05
And, for FM 9.x we got/have Distiller 9.x
Be well...

Looking Server-based Solution Compatible with Acrobat 7.0

I need to merge XFDF and PDF files on a server and return a PDF file. The server solution must be compatible with Acrobat 7.0 because we use rich-text fields in our XFDF that rely on the xfa:spec=2.1.0. So far, the server-based products we've tried have not worked because they are based on Acrobat 6.0 (which is compatible with xfa:spec=2.0.x, I believe).
Please help! It would be great just to know definitively there's nothing out there, if that is the case.
Regards,
Lori

Can no longer access Acrobat shared review server

Hello. We are using Acrobat 8, and yesterday I discovered that I can recreate a lost shared-review PDF by generating a new PDF, and then copying the comment-repository XML files from the original review PDF to the folder belonging to the new review PDF. That was great, but I wanted other staff members to not fiddle with the XML files, so I set that folder (named "meta") to read-only. It was previously shared and set to full-access for everybody.
Today, I found that nobody had access to their shared reviews anymore, so I hastily reset the access to the "meta" folder back to full-access, and I re-shared the "meta" folder for everybody. It isn't helping. No-one can access their shared reviews.
Note: immediately after I recreated that lost PDF, one of the reviewers added several comments and uploaded them to the server, so I know everything was working fine then. I set the "meta" folder to read-only sometime later, and I think that's what caused the problem.
Any ideas?
I've just now tried posting a new shared-review PDF, but this time I created a new shared-review folder location, pointing to the exact same actual network folder. The only thing different between the two connections is the descriptive names attached to the connections, which appear in the drop-down list of locations. The original connection's descriptive name is "Acrobat Server" (named by one of my colleagues) and the new one I left unchanged from the default descriptive name "My Network Folder". This new shared-review PDF works fine, so I know that access to the "meta" folder is fine, but how can I fix the older review PDFs?
A workaround for my problem is therefore to re-post all the currently active shared-review PDFs, using the "My Network Folder" connection, and then copy the XML files to the new PDF. I just tried it, and it works, but that's only a practical workaround to fix the 10 to 15 recently posted review PDFs, and it'll only work if people still have the original PDFs they posted. All the older review PDFs will still be read-only.
Also, does anyone know how to remove a folder location so that only the one that works appears in the drop-down list?
Updates:
1) The above workaround only works for me. Other reviewers still cannot access the new PDF. So I don't have a valid workaround after all.
2) One more thing: if I try to post a new PDF using the old location "Acrobat Server", it fails at the step where it tries to create the XML file and folder.
3) Earlier, I also tried creating a new shared-review folder location in another directory, and I noticed that the metadata folder was not shared. So maybe I don't need to share the "meta" folder after all, and maybe something changed in our corporate network overnight?

Thank you for your answer.
I have narrowed my problem down to a connectivity problem with the comment server. We have Acrobat 8 installed on a machine named "acrobat". On the acrobat machine, the shared-review PDFs are stored in a folder named "documents". Each member of our team has a subfolder within the documents folder. i.e. this structure:
documents
     john
     jane
     david
     amy
The comment server XML files are stored in a folder named "meta", at the same level as the above name folders:
documents
     john
     jane
     david
     amy
     meta
When we send documentation out for review, we send reviewers a link something like "\\acrobat\john\123_review.pdf". Reviewers are able to open the PDF, but they get an error message saying "Adobe Reader cannot connect to the Review Server: acrobat".
I believe that the message means that Reader is not able to find the comment server in the "meta" folder. But the meta folder is definitely there, and is write-accessible for everyone. Any user on our network is able to manually open the meta folder, create a new file inside the folder, edit and save that file, delete the file, etc.
These pdfs that no longer work, always used to work. I had changed permissions on the meta folder, but after people reported connectivity problems, I changed the permissions back to full control for all users, and even added more users with full control, but people still can't connect. What I need is to find out where these PDFs are looking for the comment server. It looks like they're looking in the correct place: the acrobat machine, but maybe inside the PDFs, the comment server location is stored in a certain way.
Another thing: when anybody tries to initiate a shared review, the process fails at the point where Acrobat 8 tries to create a comment server folder. The person who set up Acrobat 8 for us also defined the shared-review location for us (a drop-down box containing all locations appears in the first or second screen of the dialog box when you initiate a shared review. Only one location appears for us: the location defined by that person, and it's named "acrobat server"). But I don't know how to find out what that shared-review location is. Acrobat 8 lets you remove a location, but doesn't let you edit it. If I could see what the location is, I could see if the path is somehow defined irregularly. e.g. without the fully qualified domain name or something like that.
I subsequently added another location, "my network folder", and pointed it to the same meta folder. The "my network folder" location works for me. I can post a shared review, and it connects to the comment server properly. But this works only for me: when other users open that same shared review pdf, they get the "cannot connect" error message above. Again, if I could see explicitly how "my network folder" is saved in Acrobat, and also see how the PDF file has stored that location, I could see if there's a mismatch.

Acrobat Shared Review: Access Denied?

One of the guys on our network is on a Mac, the other two on PCs, and we all have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. He is trying to send out a shared review, but whenever we click the link to the review in the "Please join this shared review" email, we get a popup message saying Access Denied. If we navigate through all the folders to find the file manually, we can open the file, but the link will not work.
One thing I did notice is that when he sends out the email, his link is slightly different from ours; it starts out with "smb:". What's different about the way his reviews are coming out, and how can we fix it? Thanks in advance for any helpful input!

Try to edit the smb: link as mentioned below and then try to open it from a windows pc.
1) Replace smb:// with \\
2) Replace all the / with \
The way we access the network folders is different for win and mac and hence the difference in the path. So the link generated from windows machine will not be directly accessible from a Mac Machine and vice versa. A work around can be that when you send the shared review, choose the option to send as attachment after the server selection step. In this case the file will be attached to the email that is sent out and hence there will be no dependencies on the path of the file.
Thanks,
Abhilasha

Can I format the email announcement of an Acrobat Shared Review

I use Acrobat's Shared Review feature to get approval of draft documents. Acrobat sends out an email that requests people to join the review. However, this email is in plain text and its appearance is horrible. I want to be able to format the email, doing things like putting the deadline in bold.
Right now, I normally send the review request to myself. Then I create and format an email in Outlook, and insert a link to the review. Is there a better way?

You can't change the email body that Acrobat composes, but you can copy what it's generated and paste it into your regular email software, where you can apply templates etc.
Since the SR system will now only run on local shared folders or WebDAV, the content of the 'invitation' email is largely redundant anyway - you don't need the special Acrobat.com hyperlink anymore, and would have to manually add a link to the PDF.

Is FrameMaker 9 compatible with Acrobat XI?

We have the Tech Comms Suite 2 that comes with FrameMaker 9. We are slowly getting away from FrameMaker but still have some documents that we maintain with Frame. However, we would like to upgrade Acrobat to XI. Does anyone know if Acrobat XI is compatible with FrameMaker 9? We are on Windows 7...if that helps.

Too bad about moving away from Frame, since it's steadily improving.
But yes, the two apsa are compatible. Acrobat is basically a "printer" that
processes whatever you send it.
The integration features built into the TCS components may not work well
because they expect whatever version of Acrobat shipped with it, but
producing PDFs with all the bells and whistles shouldn't be a problem.
