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
Dave

  • 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.

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g that I am trying to access in order to update the adress book for the scanner but in order to do that I must login. I have never set up a user name or password for it. Is there a default username and password?

    Hello @jessescopely,

    I understand that when you try to access the EWS (Embedded Web Server) for your Officejet pro 8600, you are prompted for a username and password.
    Unfortunately there is no default username or password.
    On rare occasions this can be fixed by restoring the network defaults.

  • 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 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!

  • 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 Web Services Feature

    The shared review feature is an extremely powerful feature that brings acrobat and pdf files to a whole new level.  Shared review currently allows 3 repository types (Network Folder, SharePoint workspace, and Web server folder).  These are all great for simple reviews and workflows, but i think that the process could be much more flexible and robust if adobe were to add a "Web Services" method.  This would allow for developers to have a lot more control of the annotation data.  In particular here's what it would do in my case:
    Permissions: we already have a coldfusion application that has thousands of users.  Users log in and coldfusion handles all of the permissions, who can view what document, and what they can do to the document in terms of making annotations, or even editing annotations of others if they are the supervisor. (some people need to view the document with others comments but shouldn't be able to make comments themselves)
    Layering: we would like to adapt more of a layers concept of annotations.  with web services, we could allow for the user to select the layers they want to view in an html frame and then our web service could return just those annotations for display.
    I havent put much thought into it but you could even use it to connect to live cycle web services, the possibilities are endless.

    I posted "Is Adobe discontinuing support for SOAP collaboration?" in this forum and in the SDK and Scripting forums, and Brian and I have already discussed Adobe's willingness to abandon solutions that they previously evangelized (SOAP, ADBC) and to hell with anyone who drank their kool-aid back in the day.
    Brian and I have very similar issues (esp. auditability) because he and I work in industries with lots of government oversight (he in aerospace and me in nuclear).   So, the issue for us is not NEW features but maintaining backward-compatibility with old features so that we can continue to fulfill these requirements, and if Adobe wants to cut us loose then we have no choice but to find a non-Adobe alternative.
    Having said all that, I agree that adding Web services to "shared reviews" would be a good first step by Adobe toward allowing those of us who are relying on SOAP and other "deprecated" features to transition to shared reviews, but only if allows us to upload reviewer comments to a central server.  However, that still won't be enough for us unless we can continue to manage document reviews centrally.  All of our review cycles (i.e. the docs, reviewers, and schedules) are determined by our project managers, and that information is entered into our system by a single service administrator (or is imported programmatically from Active Directory and from our project management system).  So, for us to migrate to shared reviews requires an enhanced API so we can continue to set up reviews programmatically and not have to rely on the cumbersome and clunky one-document-at-a-time approach in the shared review model.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sharing a web page from my Mac Pro

    This should be easy, right? I am familiar with web page hosting under LINUX and Apache, and Apache is the core of the OS X Webserver. I turned on web shareing in System Preferences -> Sharing. It tells me:
    Your computer's website:
    http://<IP Address>/
    Your personal website:
    http://<IP Address>/~<username>/
    If I enter the URL from my Mac, or from a different computer on our network I get the main Apache default web page, which is located here:
    /Library/WebServer/Documents
    That directory is owned by root:admin
    My standard user id can not put files there.
    If I enter the personal website URL I get
    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /~<userid>/ on this server.
    /Library/WebServer/Documents
    does not have any directories owned by the user accounts.
    All of the user accounts do have folders in /Users with a Sites subdirectory.
    How do I share files from this computer without going command line? I can do that pretty easy, but I am thinking there is a much easier way that I am just not seeing.
    IWeb06 does not appear to do it - near as I can tell that is for publishing off site.
    What am I missing?

    Found the solution:
    See http://www.procata.com/blog/archives/2007/10/28/working-with-php-5-in-mac-os-x-1 05/
    You need to create a config file and save it (or save and move it) to /private/etc/apache2/users
    Then stop and start web sharing and the URL http://localhost/~username will no longer give the error, but load the index.html page which is located in /Users/username/Sites
    Pity it's not in the documentation

  • 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.
    regards Anders K

    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.
    regards
    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.

  • 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: 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 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.
