Shared Review on Network Folder

I am trying to set up my first shared review on a local network folder in our office and am running into two difficulties. (I have Acrobat 9 Pro running on Windows XP, most others have Reader 8 running on XP and we are connecting using Outlook 2003 through an exchange server)
1) Problem one is that the email addresses coming out of the Outlook Address Book are in the form of 'firstname.surname@companyexchange' rather than'[email protected]' and Acrobat indicates that it cannot 'resolve' these. I know that the internal email addresses are acceptable to Outlook so is there anyway for force Acrobat to accept the addresses and hand them off to Outlook without generating the error.
2) When the email is finally generated (I manually typed a few external email addresses in to test them) the link to the review file is not converted to a proper hyperlink - the address is correct but only appears as plain text. However the link to download Reader 9 is properly formed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I'm just bumping this to the top again because I can't believe that Acrobat cannot resolve echange server addresses! I'm trying to send a file to people in my company and when I select poeple from the global address list their addresses are in the format <name@exchange> rather than <[email protected]>.
Surely Acrobat must be able to accept addresses in the exchange format? This seems like a basic necessity for corporate users or am I missing something?
Thanks

Using Shared Review via Network Folder on Windows server and PC and Mac users commenting

We are having initiation and connection problems on the Macs (running OS 10.6.4 Snow Leopard) with Shared Reviews (from Acrobat 9) that are stored on a Windows 2008 Server connecting via SMB. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who is successfully:
1) Initiating Shared Reviews from a Macintosh via "Automatically collect comments on my own internal server" and navigating to a folder (with full read/write permissions for all) on a Windows server. We cannot get Acrobat (via the automated SR set-up wizard) to verify the network folder location on the Macs so that a Mac user can initiate a Shared Review. On Windows (using Parallels or logging in to a PC directly), the same users have no problem initiating and accessing Shared Reviews.
2) Accessing Shared Reviews on a network folder (set up on a Windows 2008 server) via a Mac running OSX 10.6.4 and Acrobat 9. All users have read/write access to the folder and can navigate to it via the server. They can save documents to the network folder and open other documents there as well. When they open a Shared Review-enabled PDF for commenting, they get the error message that Acrobat cannot connect to the server. Retry results in the same error message.
We use Shared Reviews extensively and have no problems with PC users accessing the files and Mac users accessing them via Windows (Parallels or on a PC). This is very frustrating so I would really appreciate any ideas, especially if anyone is actually doing Shared Reviews this way.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is NOT fixed based on the testing I have done.
1) I am still unable to connect to the network folder on a Windows server from the Mac to initiate a Shared Review In Acrobat version 9.4.6. Same error message as previous Unable to locate server. See screenshot:
2) One of the Mac users (also upgraded to Acrobat 9.4.6) who was invited to participate in a Shared Review (initiated using Parallels/Windows) was initially able to open the file and Publish comments. However, after she did and closed the file, she was unable to reopen the same file, connect to the server and add comments. And no other Mac user could access the file after she added her first comments. We all got the error message "Unable to connect etc" See screenshot.
3) I opened the same file in Parallels/Windows with no problem. However, the Mac user's comments were not there. I could add comments and publish in Windows.
4) When I tried to access the Tracker from my Mac (review was initiated via Parallels), I got the error message File not Found when I tried to access the test review via my Mac (see screenshot).
Could you give me more information about the fix? I would also be happy to talk to you or send more details if that would help.
Our set up has not changed from the original information I sent (there may have been some Mac updates -- we are all on OS 10.6.8 but still Snow Leopard). Server has not changed.

Shared Reviews Multiple Network Locations

Hi,
I started using the Shared Review process in Acrobat X and the workflow is great, but when I want to send a different PDF (i.e. a whole entirely separate project) out for a shared review to different reviewers, it seems the XML folder is still being created in the first network folder I chose. I would like to have some Shared Reviews in folder "A" and some in folder "B", but I haven't been able to do that successfully. Is it possible?
ZeroZone

When you create the new review, are you entering a "different" network path in the Shared Review wizard, or using the same profile which got created during the creation of first review? If you enter a new network folder path, the new review will use that folder path to create XML files.

Pointing Adobe 9 Pro to Shared Network Folder to Add Comments

We currently use Pro7 as a standard in our company and put PDF's into SharePoint 2003 for review. All Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro.'s in our company point to a Z: drive for reviewing.
When a PDF is posted into SP and opened via a link all comments can be seen if you are pointing to the Z: drive and you can add comments. This is more like an open review but it works well for us.
We have also upgraded to Office 2007 so we need to move to Acrobat 9 because we are getting problems with Pro 7 and office 2007 compatibility.
So I have installed the full trial version of Pro 9 on my PC. But when I try and link to a document review in SP I see no comments and have no reviewing tool bars. Usually with Pro 7 you would point to the shared drive in preferences/reviewing and then hey preston everything would work. However, in Adobe 9 there is no option to point at the shared drive.
My question is how do I get Acrobat 9 to see the comments written in the folders on the shared drive?
Please help.
Lee.

Hello Bill,
Thanks for the reply, but I guess I wasn't clear enough.
I want Acrobat 9 to see the comments repository used by the Acrobat 7 reviewers when they comment on a document which is held is SharePoint.
This repository is on a shared drive called the Z: drive.
In Adobe 7 you open preferences\commenting and choose network folder then browse to the shared folder.
There is no such option I can see in Acrobat 9.
Thanks

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.

Save a pdf form and stored it in a Shared Network Folder

Hey Guys,
Is there a way using ASPX and Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 to create a form and when the user clicks on the submit button to save a copy of the form and send it over to a Shared Network Folder?
I know adobe accepts JavaScript and FormCalc scripts only but if someone has done something similar to the scenario I explained I'll be deeply appreciate it if you can share some steps or at least show me the light so I can move a little bit further.
Thanks!

Hi,
Just providing some information in addition to George's reply.
The PDF created by FormsCentral, assuming you are collecting responses online, is configured to enable extended features in Adobe Reader to allow respondents to save the form. To edit the PDF in Adobe Acrobat you must use the File > Save a Copy... menuitem to create a copy of the document that is not Reader-extended.
When you have finished editing the document you should remember to re-configure the PDF for fill-in and save within Adobe Reader.
Regards,
Brian

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?

Send for shared review - What type of Web server folder works?

Hello all,
Can someone please explain to me what type of web server folder works with "Send for shared review"?
I have created a folder on my GoDaddy server account with full permissions... http://webservername.com/Adobe_Test but after clicking Next, I see the error, "The Shared Folder Location is not valid. Click OK and check the Status field for more information."
1) It isn't valid? What are the valid server requirements?
2) "...check the Status field for more information."? What Status field?
It would have been great if I could use a Google Docs folder but that failed as well.
What must I do to unlock this neat feature?
Thank you

Thanks CtDave.
I ended up building a WebDAV server and I am now encountering a bunch of new issues. Such as:
From my workstation, working with Acrobat.
- After making comments. I click the top button "Publish Comments" - this works well - no errors. But when I attempt to exit the PDF, Acrobat wants to save the document. Attempting to Save results in a read-only error. After trying this, Acrobat gets into a loop where there doesn't appear to be a way to exit Acrobat (other than by Save As new file name):
Even worse... I understood that reviewers only required the Adobe Reader in order to comment. This doesn't seem to be the case.
When I emailed a test document for review, this is the message that pops up:
All that is available is the original content (none of the review comments are available).
Any ideas?

How to download a CSV file to a shared network folder ?

Hi Experts,
I have created a report which exports a CSV file on application server using scheduled background job. I have used the OPEN DATASET feature to download the file on a location on the application server which is working fine.
But my requirement is that I have to download this file to a shared folder which is situated on another location and is shared in my application server as 'N' drive. But when I give the path of this N drive in my report, its giving runtime error that the <filename> is not open.
So pls help me how to give path to such shared network folder to download the file?
Thanks,

Hi Guys,
I tried alot but it didnt work.
SO I decided to export the file on the application server only.
I created a background job that runs periodically and exports the file to C drive of the application server.
The job run sucessfully only the first time but gets cancelled after that.
I ran the job for an hour but not a single time it finished successfully. Every time it was cancel with dump error shown below.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Category               ABAP Programming Error

What happened?
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "ZBATCHSTOCK" had to be terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.

And the same background job runs properly on development server without any cancelled job.
So pls help me what should be the problem ??

How can I display an image from a shared-network folder?

Hi
Does anyone know how I can display images from within APEX that are found outside the database? What configuration have I missed?
Within Windows-Internet-Explore I can access the following image using the below URLs, BUT I cannot access it from within APEX?
What do I need to do so APEX can display theses images from our internal shared network folder?
both these URLs work within Firefox (but on APEX):
\\Saremote\UPDOWNFILES_DIR\polk_insight.gif
file://///Saremote/UPDOWNFILES_DIR/polk_insight.GIF
So within APEX I have created a "display as Text' Item that works with this "amazon image" syntax:
{lessthan} IMG SRC= {doublequot} http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/navbar2000/logo-no-border(1).gif {doublequot} {greaterthan}
BUT sadly not with my image:
{lessthan} IMG SRC= {doublequot} file://///Saremote/UPDOWNFILES_DIR/polk_insight.GIF {doublequot} {greaterthan}
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

If you have a local html file, or open an image locally from the menu, then yes, it works, but with web pages that are served from a remote location (web server), security kicks in and prevents the web page from accessing local files (and files on a networked drive).
you will either have to put the image on the web server and access it through http, or you can load it into the database/workspace images and access it that way.

When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get an error

hello,
When trying to open a pdf from a shared network folder I get the error: 'there was an error opening this document the document cannot be found'. The share is on a Windows 7 machine and sharing to a OS X 10.7 Machine. Permisson has been given on the share for 'Everyone' read and Write, and is mapped to the 10.7 machine through the 'Connect to Server' in finder with login credentials.
Can you help please?
Kind regards,
Chris

This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel". These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
Any other ideas?

Disable EFS on Windows 2012 shared Network folder

Hi,
we have a Windows Server 2012 which is sharing a folder for all our domain users. We use EFS for some clients. If a client copies a file to the shared network folder, it should be automatically decrypted. But instead, the files are being copied with the
encyrption, so that nobody else can open it. Clients should still be able to encrypt their files.
We've already disabled EFS on the Windows Server, but the files keep their encryption, after copying.
Is there a way to disable EFS on a shared network folder?
Best regards,
Matthias

There is no such option for EFS. If it is allowed, then all EFS operations are allowed.

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 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.

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.
