multiple persons comments on the same PDF document at the same time

[Sairam5CEB]

In my work place, one file is sent out to the team to review and enter their comments.

At the moment, the same file cannot be edited by two persons at the same time. So we both had commented and saved with two different names. In the end, I would add my colleague's comment into the  my version, and consodiate all comments into one and sent to the originator. Once it happened, I missed to consodilate few of my collegue's comments and it was unacceptable as they were important too. Please help if we both can add our comments into the same document. Thanks

This is not possible, and not likely to be possible. PDF just wasn't designed to work that way.

On reflection, what you might need is Adobe's Shared Review process, which includes a process of comment merging. https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/starting-pdf-review.html

Thank you. I am exploring this option as well. Let see how it goes. Cheers

Try exporting your colleagues clients as an FDF file, then import that FDF file into your own document. That way you won't miss any.

Thank you so much!! It was a success- importing other's file comments into my file. My teams were extremely happy happy about it. A matter of few second vs hours of manual operation with chances of errors. Cheers
