Seeking Options for Workspaces for Shared Reviews

Can anyone tell me if an owncloud site (http://owncloud.org/) can be used as a web server folder for shared reviews?

Search the forum for RAID and see what you get. We state this a lot.
BEST? Or AFFORDABLE? Or a mixture of both? What format of HD will you be working with? Not all formats require a raid, like HDV. That can be editing off of firewire drives as it has the same data rate as DV.
Look at CalDigit, G-Technology, Sonnet. I highly recommend eSATA Raids.

  • What exactly does the Work Offline option do in a shared review hosted on an internal server?

    Hi,
    What exactly does the Work Offline option do in a shared review hosted on an internal server?
    I *think* it simply disconnects you from the review server. I'm not sure why one would want to do this.
    I'm trying to recommend an offline workflow for reviewers who may not be able to access a shared review hosted on our internal server (for example, while traveling). These reviewers would like to be able to comment on an offline version of the review PDF and then publish their comments when they can again connect to the Internet/internal server.
    It doesn't seem like "Work Offline"  is the right fit for this scenario. Instead, should reviewers save a local copy to their hard drive, comment on it, and then, when reconnected to the Internet, open the local copy, click Reconnect to Server, and then click Publish Comments?

    Thanks, Dave. So for my hypothetical traveling reviewer, it would be reasonable to suggest the following steps for an offline workflow?
    1. Connect to the shared review.
    2. Choose Work Offline from the Server Status menu.
    3. Close and save the review PDF locally.
    4. Comment while traveling.
    5. When back in the office, open the local copy of the review PDF.
    6. Click Reconnect to Server.
    7. Click Publish Comments.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Shared Review from Acrobat 8 Pro

    Is it possible to initiate a shared review from Acrobat 8 Pro
    using Acrobat.com? I realize how easy it is from Acrobat 9, but I'm
    trying to help someone currently using 8, where the only options
    are internal server, WebDAV or iDisk.

    Thank you for your post. These forums are specific to the
    Acrobat.com website and its set of hosted services, and do not
    cover the Acrobat family of desktop products. Please visit the
    following forums for any questions related to the Acrobat family of
    desktop products:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bbeda8b/
    Note: The option to host a shared review on Acrobat.com was
    only added with Acrobat 9.0. Versions prior to 9.0 cannot use
    Acrobat.com as a shared review repository. To access this
    functionality the user must upgrade to 9.0.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Shared Review problem for remote review SME

    One of my SMEs works offsite via a VPN connection. When she tries to participate in the shared review process from the PDF location on the network drive, she has display problems (all the text is highlighted in black) and she can't "connect" to see other's comments. The PDF displays fine if she downloads it to her hard drive she can see shared comments but of course is then unable interact with the shared process.
    She's developed an elaborate and time consuming work around, but I need a solution for her problem. She's using the current version of Reader and I'm generating PDFs using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
    This is not an issue for any of my other offsite SMEs.
    Thoughts?

    What are the instructions for Acrobat Pro v11.0.10?
    There is no option to save as "Archive copy" only "PDF-X/A" but that returns an error that it can't be saved.
    All instances of Shared Review sessions have been removed from the the "Tracker..." dialog, but I am still getting server pings. By all rights, there should be no more pings to any server. When I am actually in my network where the server is visible, Adobe is connecting without my permission.
    How can I get the server pings to completely stop in Acrobat Pro v11.0.10?

  • Shared Review: Can't Check for New Comments or Publish Comments

    I am having a problem with a network file share (SMB) Shared Review.  I am not able to Check for New Comments or Publish Comments.  When I click those buttons all I get is the green circle continuously spinning forever.  Other members of my team are able to check for and post new comments.  I am able to connect to the SMB file share outside of Acrobat just fine.  I am using Acrobat Pro XI with the latest update 11.0.03.

    Try the following steps :
    1. Keep the review file closed and remove the review enty from the Tracker. For this "Go to View->Tracker. Choose the review file under the Review->Joined node and from right click options choose 'Remove review from Tracker'."
    Note: Do not remove the reviews which you had initiated i.e. those under Sent node. Otherwise, the review will removed from the server also.
    Alternatively, you can delete the Collab and Synchronizer folder from the following location:
    /users/+username+/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/+version+/
    2. Sign out from Adobe.com comment. For this "Go to Preferences->Adobe Online Services". and click sign out.
    3. Now open the review PDF again and login with the correct credentials.
    Hope, this will resolve your issue.

  • How to send (larger files) for 'Shared Review'?

    We are unable to get PDF files above 5.5MB to successfully 'Send for Shared Review' to a WebDav server (using Acrobat Pro 9.3.0 on OSX 10.5.8).
    The 'save' process fails at the final stage & the PDF is not uploaded to the server.  Files below that size can be sent for Shared Review without any problems.  Have tested this on different WebDav servers & domains - and with various PDF files.
    Has anyone been able to get PDF files above 5/6MB to successfully 'Send for Shared Review' to a WebDave server???
    Is there a file size limit for individual PDF files for 'Shared Review' using a WebDav server???
    Thanks for your help!!!

    Try creating a review without sending the file and then send the link in a seperate email.
    I used the "Do not send email invitation, just save localy" option and didn't add any reviewers in the wizard. Afterwards I sent a email with a link to the file to all reviewers and it worked.

  • 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

  • Sending File for Shared Review

    I want to send a number of captivate files for shared review. Do I need to create a seperate email for each file and log in each time. Or is there a way to bundle a few of the captivate files together and jsut send them in one email.
    Or can I give someone access to a folder on my workspace in the Adobe area.
    Thanks
    Jo

    Is the bundled Reviewer not waht you want? The reviewers do not need to have Captivate installed, just have to download the reviewer which is free.
    You can post files on workspaces.acrobat.com and share the workspace or files with other people. Or you can use the service SendNow to send files as well.

  • Automating Shared Review for Reader using the Acrobat 9 SDK

    I am new to the Acrobat SDK as well as writing plug-ins.
    However, I have been tasked with implementing a "Shared Review" in Reader for collaborative proofing.  I understand how to do this using the "Send for Shared Review" wizard in Acrobat, however I need to automate this process.  The PDFs that will be proofed in a "Shared Review" session using Reader are generated from a hot folder process, so there is no physical end user to run the Acrobat 9 "Send for Shared Review" for every PDF.  I need to automate this process.
    I was told that the SDK would allow this, but at the same time I have read some posts that claim this can not be done in the SDK and LiveCycle is required.
    Can someone confirm that the SDK can enable a PDF for "Shared Review"?  If so, how is this done?
    If it can not be done, is the only option LiveCycle or can an Acrobat macro be written to simulate the "Send for Shared Review" wizard?
    Thanks in advance.

    Is it technically feasible?  Yes, but it is far from simple.
    Is it possible?  Probably not.
    In order for Reader to load a plug-in, that plug-in must contain a certificate provided to you by Adobe after completing the "RIKLA" process (Reader Integration Key License Agreement).  Part of this process is a team at Adobe reviewing the purpose of your plug-in to verify that it does not try to duplicate functionality available in Acrobat.  For this reason, I don't think your plug-in would be approved.  You should certainly submit a RIKLA application anyways just to make sure (you can do this before you start with any code so you're not wasting effort if it gets declined).
    You can find the RIKLA info here:

  • Adobe Captivate 8 Send For Shared Review link to Adobe Captivate Reviewer provides no download for Captivate 8

    In Adobe Captivate 8 if you use the feature "Send for Shared Review" and select the option "Send Email" and "Attach Adobe Captivate Reviewer" the end result is a link generated in the email to download Adobe Captivate Reviewer (doesn't attach it as indicated).
    As noted in the email Adobe Captivate 8 Reviewer is REQUIRED to review the file. No big deal there is a link to it in the email : the download link - http://www.adobe.com/go/cp8.0_reviewerapp
    Unfortunately that link redirects to another page http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/captivate-6-review-app and on that page there is no Adobe Captivate 8 Reviewer link to download. *screenshot of the page below*
    Anyone know the correct link location to download Adobe Captivate 8 Reviewer?
    I am still searching but so far have been unable to find it.
    Thank you in advance to anyone that can help.

    When sharing the link for people to review use the same link http://www.adobe.com/go/cp8.0_reviewerapp but just give instructions to use the one specified for 7.0 (mac or windows).
    Sorry to ask again but want to make sure before I send this out to people.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a definitive guide for setting up a web server folder to properly host an Adobe Shared Review?

    In an effort to replace Acrobat.com as the host of a shared review file, I have found myself going in circles. I have prepared a folder on our web server, yet I cannot get Acrobat to connect during the send for shared review process. I get the "A network connection could not be created" status message.
    I have found many responses to questions about the change telling me that using a web server folder is an option, but no guide for the requirements of its configuration. Can anyone help? What kinds of permissions, protocols, details must I verify to make sure a web server folder will work?
    Adobe?

    I was under the impression that any webdav would do.
