Cannot connect to review server *after* successfully publishing -- help!

This is following on from a couple of earlier threads.

Desktop - Running Acrobat Pro DC Version 2019.008.2074 and Acrobat Reader DC Version 2019.008.2074

Notebook - Running Acrobat Pro DC Version 2018.011.20063

SME is running Acrobat Reader DC Version 2019.008.2074

  1. Desktop - Initiate shared review using sharepoint server. Send review to myself and to SME.
  2. Review request received (in Outlook) by myself and SME.
  3. SME opens pdf without problems with Reader. Notebook opens pdf without problems with Acrobat Pro. Desktop attempts to open and gets "Adobe Acrobat cannot connect to the Review Server: 13.107.136.9"
    (Note: earlier in the day, after this started happening, I was able to connect to *1* of my existing shared reviews. After I shut down Acrobat and restarted, I was no longer able to connect and got the error above.)
  4. SME and Notebook can both add, publish, and check for new comments.

So, in a nutshell... I can initiate shared review from my desktop, but cannot subsequently check or publish comments. Other reviewers, however, can check and publish.

I'm at a loss. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

A registry protected fix has been released as part of the Adobe Acrobat and Reader official update (19.010.20091).

Please follow the steps to resolve this issue-

-Update Adobe Acrobat to the latest version(19.010.20091) if not done already(Help > Check for Updates)

-Quit Acrobat/Reader

-Open task manage and kill the processes “AdobeCollabSync.exe”

-Create the REG_SZ type key "tdisableHTTP2List" and set its value to "*.sharepoint.com" at the below path

"tdisableHTTP2List"="*.sharepoint.com"

How do we resolve this for macOS users? We have the same issue

Same issue on Mac (just posting for email alerts of any follow-up)

I resolved the issue by going into System Preferences > Security and Privacy 

 

  • Files and Folders
  • Full Disk Access

 

Ensure Adobe Acrobat has a tick for both options.

Or you can try one or the other first and see which option works, I just ticked both anyway.

Update 1: Yesterday, first thing in the morning, I opened one of my shared reviews (out of 13) and it updated with a new comment that had been posted! And immediately threw the 'cannot connect to the Review Server' thereafter. None of them have connected in the past day.

Update 2: The notebook autoupdated to the latest version (2018.008.2074). And ... now it can't connect to the server either.
