Setting up a browser-based review
When an initiator sends an Adobe PDF document in a browser-based review, reviewers
receive an email message with an FDF attachment that opens the PDF document in a web
browser and configures their review settings to upload comments to the comments
repository for that session. They can add their comments and upload them by using the
Send And Receive Comments button in the Commenting toolbar.
For a browser-based review, the initiator must specify servers that are accessible to all
reviewers. Two server locations are required. Before initiating a review, the initiator must
specify the server for the comments repository in the Reviewing preferences. (See Setting
Reviewing preferences for browser-based reviews.) The initiator specifies the server for
the uploaded PDF file when setting up the review.
PDF files can be uploaded to WebDAV servers using web addresses (for example, http://
server/folder) or to network folders using UNC (Universal Naming Convention) addresses
(for example, \\server\folder). UNC addresses are less desirable because reviewers who
use different operating systems or who map network locations to a drive letter in
Windows may not see each others' comments. (For example, reviewers on Mac OS may
not see comments uploaded from Windows and vice versa.)
The comments repository can reside on either a network folder, database, WebDAV
server, or web discussion server. WebDAV servers can store both uploaded PDF files and
comments repositories.
Important: Reviewers must use Acrobat 6.0 or later to participate in a browser-based
review. Adobe Reader 7.0 users may participate only if additional usage rights are added
to the PDF document using an Adobe server product, such as Adobe Document Server or
Adobe Reader Extensions Server. (See Reviewing documents with additional usage
rights.)
In a browser-based review, the initiator uploads the PDF document to a server and sends the setup
file to reviewers, who can see each others' comments.
