Is there a function to remind reviewers?

It would be very helpful if the InDesign Adobe review function had a reminder feature that could be set to remind reviewers if they haven’t opened the link within a set period of time. My problem is that my people don’t always get to it right away and then forget. That delays the production process. If Review could have a reminder function like Adobe Sign (or if it is there and I do not know about it) that would be extremely helpful. I understand I could export it and then send it as an Adobe Sign document and then import comments back into the document but I’d prefer to keep it all in the InDesign Review eco-system.

In case it is unclear:

Share for Review allows for simple commenting.

That is different from the more robust Export a PDF, then open in Acrobat Pro to Send a PDF for Review in order to get back richer comments (including especially the 3 Auto-Edit Comment Tools) and using the InDesign PDF Comments panel to merge those Auto-Edit comments back into the layout.

This latter method is much more robust, although it would be nice to add version tracking for multiple rounds of PDF commenting to either.

Hi Jenny,

Ultimately, this is a human discipline challenge. Your people have to be trained to an expectation.

OTOH, sending PDFs for review (Acrobat : Share for Review) can have the Acrobat Tracker help you remind people.

Share for Review is relatively light on features compared to Sending a PDF for Review.

Another thought: have you trained your people to use the 3 “Auto-Edit” Comment tools in Acrobat Pro? It works well with the InDesign panel named “PDF Comments” and can merge their text corrections directly into the layout.

I guess the real question would be how can we request more helpful features be added to InDesign pdf review.
