Does shared reviews allow users with Adobe reader to add comments in a pdf?

Hello Everyone,

 

I have an issue with multiple users and with multiple files experincing issues with shared reviews. The pdf files are stored on Sharepoint Online. When user tries to add the sharepoint account in cloud location, it is added succesfully. but when they try to open a document which is shared with them for reveiwing, it doesn't open in reader straight-away. First it asks them to save the file locally on their PC with dailouge box below.

 

After saving it and opening it from local drive, it tries to connect to sharepoint server and fail to connect with below message. 

 

When the user try to click "Keep trying", it doesn't connect to the server. And when click on "Work Offline", they are not able to add new comments in it.

 

I wonder what could be the reason for this issue?

1.) The initator has used Adobe Acrobat DC Pro to initate shared review for a pdf and others who are reviewers uses Adobe reader and don't have capability to add new comments in a shared review?

2.) Any specific setting in sharepoint site causing this issue to trigger?

 

FYI: the users who try to add comments in a shared review pdf and fail, uses Adobe reader 21 (latest version).

I am having a similar issue --  using Adobe DC and connected to SharePoint Online sites. Try and use the shared reviewing option and receive the message that file needs to be saved locally -- is there a way to alert users to comments and/or perform a shared review and save directly to SharePoint?

 

Adobe DC 

Added accounts to SharePoint libraries

 Adobe Document Cloud for SharePoint (enterprise licenses for all users)

I just encounter similar issue with Adobe Acrobat pro DC (latest updated) and shared reviews.

User initaited shared reviews and was able to track reviews once others commented in it and all of sudden getting server connection error message with shared reviews when tries to track reviews in Adobe pro DC.

This is an intermittent issue now and need to be resolved as lot of users are affected with this and business impact is also a matter of concern.
