Starting And Managing A Review - Adobe 22002420 - Acrobat Standard - PC User Manual

Specify a server for comments
You must specify a server location to store all the comments that are submitted during a shared review or a browser-
based review. This server location is referred to as the comment server (also called a comments repository). Reviewers
must have read and write access to the comment server you specify. Ask your network administrator to provide a
suitable server location for storing comments. No additional software is required to set up a comment server.
For a shared review, you can specify a network folder, a WebDAV server, or a Windows server running Microsoft
SharePoint Services. If all reviewers are within a local area network, network folders and SharePoint servers are the
best choices for a comment server—network folders being the cheapest and most reliable. To initiate a review on a
SharePoint server, the initiator must use Windows; however, reviewers can use either Windows or Mac OS. All
participants must have read and write access to the Document Library folder within the specified workspace.
WebDAV servers (web servers that use the WebDAV protocol) are best used only if you have reviewers that are
outside of a firewall or local area network.
For a browser-based review, you can specify either a network folder or a WebDAV server. If you use a network folder,
comments may not be viewable to reviewers on both platforms. Even if all reviewers use the same platform, they may
not see comments if they access the server location as a mapped drive instead of by its full file path. If you use a
WebDAV server, make sure that all reviewers have unique login names that aren't differentiated solely by case.

• Click Browse (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS) to select a network folder, and then click OK.
• Type the path in the Administrator Provided Server Settings box. For example, type a WebDAV server using a web
address (such as http://server/folder), or a network folder using a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) address
(such as \\server\folder).
• If your organization subscribes to automatic configuration services, click Configure Automatically.
If the server information changes for subsequent reviews, you must respecify the location.
