Regarding Shared Review

Hi,
While using Shared Review option in the Adobe Acrobat X Pro, a new folder (for example: Guide_review.pdf__9dc869a1786d0d4bb0b1e641a93fc49a) and a file Guide_review.pdf is created in the shared path.
I can understand, that the reviewed file is automatically placed in the provided review path, but somebody can explain the need for the Folder (mentioned above)?
Is there is a possibility to automatically avoid that folder creation?
PLS somebody help me out in understanding this?
Regards
Saranya

Hi Saranya,
No, there is no way that you van avoid the folder creation. The Folder is meant to host the user xmls (that are the comment repository) for all the reviewers in the review. It is by using these xmls that the shared review works and users are able to see each others comments in real time.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Abhilasha

Shared review using Sharepoint 2010 Foundation

Brief description *
Sharepoint for Shared review
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible *
Shared review using server acrobat.com works fine. However, when using Sharepoint as server the testing fails and it is not possible to finnish the set up of the shared review.
This is pictured in(bild1.jpg.) As the return code is Status: undefined it is not possible to proceed.
However, when looking into the sharepoint site a file called com.adobe.acrobat.sharepoint has been created as shown in attachment2 (bild2.jpg)
When this file is opened it contains the following text written by acrobat; Testing Writeablility
It seems like the test has been done sucessfully but that Acrobat is not able to read/understand that.
My Acrobat 9 is swedish version but the 'Testing Writeablility' is in english regardless of if I create a Sharepoint site in swedish or english.
Please help me out.

The login names of the sharepoint server is not controlled by my organisation. Sharepoint is hosted.
At the time initiating the review when Sharepoint is presenting possible locations (shared documents libraries) for the review then I need to login
using credentials very much diffrent from the windows credentials.
They are of course also diffrent from the identity that Acrobat itself is carrying from the acrobat.com?
This situation is the same for for the reviewers that has no problem.

PS do you have a suspicion that windows credentials or Acrobat credentials are thrown automatically at Sharepoint although I have logged in
at the time of finding possible review location.

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.

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.

API for Shared Review in Acrobat SDK

Hi,
I would like to implement the functionality for Shared Review programmatically.
Right now we need to open each pdf file select Comments -> Send for Shared Review in Acrobat Professional and follow the steps in wizard.
I am looking at achieving the above steps programmatically so that I need not open each pdf individually and run through the wizard. For this, is there any API available either in Acrobat 8.1 or 9.0 SDK which I can make use of and build an automatic service.
A swift response is appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Rajeev

is there (today - 2011) really still no API for that?
Also not in LiveCycle Server?
Thanks,

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.

Priyanka

Shared Review cannot resolve email addresses through Outlook

I am finding references to the issue I am having that goes back a couple years and seems to be tied to a change to Acrobat between versions 8 & 9, I am flummoxed though that there isn't a solution listed for any of the forum posts I've found. We are using Acrobat Pro & Standard X. When I create a shared review via Email or using a SharePoint workspace, I am unable to succesfully add users to the review process.
A few users always work and most others result in multiple contact selector dialog boxes and a final message:
"Microsoft Outlook does not recognize "/o=..."
If this is a known issue how can there not be a work around or fix for this? It's a great feature, but I can't ask our users to use this shared review process if I also have to tell them to just keep trying to enter the reviewer email - it might work eventually.
Suggestions?

Hello Chris,
Yes, you are correct the problem is tied to the "<last name>, <first name>" convention that uses the comma.
The issue arose due to Acrobat allowing commas as separators in the list of addresses in the Shared Review dialog.
As of Acrobat XI 11.0.9 this issue is fixed. It will be included in all future updates, so version 11.0.9 and higher contain the fix.
Please see the 11.0.9 release notes regarding 3732843.
11.0.09 Planned update, Sept 16, 2014 — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes
You must create and set a registry key to enable the fix:
Key location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\11.0\Sendmail
Name : bRemoveCommaDelimiter
Type : DWORD(32-bit)
Value : 1
The issue is NOT fixed in Acrobat X.

Charlene

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).

Can you send a document for Shared Review once you've applied an electronic signature?

Hi! I'm having troubles sending a document for shared review, I need 3 people to digitally sign it and then send it on a shared review. I keep getting this error message however:
'The document you have chosen cannot be sent for shared review or collaboration because its current security permissions do not allow modifications. Please choose another document or change this document to allow modifications.'
I'm not sure how I can 'allow the modifications' - where's this option?
I've tried 'File/Save As/Reader Extended PDF/Enable Commenting & Measuring' but this didn't help.
We can't use stamps for signing as we want to be able to verify signatures.
Any suggestions on what the issue may be?
Thanks in advance!
Mel

thanks George for your response. Basically what we do in our engineering company is have the author and supervisor sign a document (verfiying that its at a good enough level) to go out on review, and if its something that needs to go to our client for review there'll be a 3rd approver signature before it leaves our office - then the client will put it on shared review amongst their staff.
when we're having a play around with this trying to get this to work, we aren't going in and locking the document after any of the signatures. but I'm also not sure of what you need to do to 'enable' a document before initiaiting the send for shared review process. Are you able to give me a step by step on how to set this up - and how to see if a signature field is 'preconfigured to lock a document' - that actually might be the root of the problem!
Sorry I'm not a huge whizz on adobe, I haven't had to use it for a review process in quite a while but my current company is wanting to go electronic.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Mel

How to create a shared review without an internal server

I have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and I'm trying to create a shared review where myself and 2 colleagues can make edits and add comments to the same PDF simultaneously. Basically, we're all tasked with editing the document and have to work on it at the same time, but need one finished product at the end. I've tried the "send for email review" option, and my colleagues have tried making edits and sending it back to me, but when I click on "track reviews," there's nothing there, so I can't figure out how to integrate their edits with mine (so there are now 3 separate documents with different edits). When I try "send for shared review", the only option it gives me is via internal server, which I don't have access to. Any recommendations would be helpful!

Well Roy,
I was also facing some similar problem, just now got my service displayed in portal. Thanks a lot that you could solve it urself. Anyway, now for using this service from another portal component do the following
1. Add SharingReference value in Deployment Descriptor of the portal app from where u want to access this service
example:
<application-config>
<property name="SharingReference"      value="com.customer.training.MyFirstPortalApp">
</property>
</application-config>
2. Add libraries of the Portal Service (xxxapi.jar)
in your par file u can see one jar file as <servicename>api.jar . extract this to some other location and in the client portal app project add this .jar to its build path.
3. Write code to access the Portal Service
    a. Import package of the Portal Service
    b. Get instance of the Portal Service
    c. Call methods of the Portal Service
example:IPortalRuntimeResources runtimeResources =      PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources();
IService aService = runtimeResources.getService("com.customer.training.MyFirstPortalApp.MyService");
// OR
IService aService = runtimeResources.getService(IMyService.KEY);
// Cast the Service
IMyService myService = (IMyService)aService;
// call methods of the service
response.write(myService.getWelcomeString(aName));
thats how it should be...

Shubhadip

How this retirement will affect Shared review users?

How this retirement will affect Shared review users?
For example, when Acrobat servers have problem and shared review users cannot download files from email invitation, Workspaces is where the users can log in and download the files.
If without Workspaces, is there another way for shared review users to download the files?

Hi there,
Thanks for your question. Workspaces will no longer be available as a distribution option for PDF files in a Shared Review (although you can still initiate Shared Reviews using an internal server, such as a SharePoint workspace, a network folder, or a web server folder).
While Workspaces will no longer be available for posting those PDF files, Acrobat.com (http://files.acrobat.com) is an excellent alternative for uploading your files. You can make your uploaded files public, and share the file's unique URL with reviewers. For more information about uploading and sharing files with Acrobat.com, please see: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/help/files.html
Please let us know if you need any clarification or further assistance.

Automatically send out shared review files from hotfolder?

Hi - I haven't been able to find an answer so I hope you can help me.
Basically, I have a group of 10 people who always needs to review PDF files.
Currently one of them is taking care of sending out for shared review but I would like to eliminate that step as it takes a lot of time.
Is it possible to automate this process, e.g. by placing PDFs in a hotfolder and have them sent out automatically for these 10 people? Or is there another option that could completely eliminate the need for a person to send them out for shared review?
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Regards,
Filip Jensen

Hi Filip,
Unfortunately shared reviews are designed to be a manual process initiated on the desktop.

Chrome as default browser and Adobe Shared Review

Below is a comment from one of my SMEs who is involved in one of my Adobe Shared Reviews.
SME Comment: I am about 1/3 done. I have Google Chrome as my default browser. Clicking on the link brings up the document in the browser. You have to select "open as pdf" to get the commenting tool bars. I am using adobe reader 11 and it fails frequently. If you use this, make sure you publish your comments frequently, because you lose everything when it fails.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why Chrome causes issues versus IExplorer. This is the first I have had this type of comment returned to me from one of my reviewers.
Regards,

Personally, I'd monitor to see what the application sets when applying the browser as your default on any other machine. Then check to see if it's getting set correctly on login. If it's not, force these to carry over using a UEM, Package, GPO, Script or
whatever you have at your disposal.
There may be a policy which blocks users from changing default progams.

Hi mrdakota,
Have you updated Acrobat to v.10.1.12 and checked?
