.xml files for comments without pdf review

[kelseyl7461844]

We lost the original pdf review doc, but were able to restore the .xml files from our server. Is there any way to get the comments back from the .xml file into the pdf review? Hope I'm explaining this correctly...

Hi,

While distributing a PDF for shared review we use either

i. As an attachment to the message OR ii. As a link within the message

If we use the first option while initiating review then every participant will have a copy of the review PDF as attachment. Any of these copies can be used to retrieve the comments.

If we use the second option a copy of the review PDF is stored on the sever location, this copy of the review PDF can be used to restore the comments in this case.

If you are not able to get any copy of your review file instead you have only .xml files.In this case you have to note down every comment. It will a tedious task if the number of comments and reviewers are large as there will be a .xml file for every reviewer.

Please find a snippet from a .xml file showing a comment by a reviewer-

Currently there is no direct method available to get the comments from .xml files.

I hope it helps. Please let us know if you need more information.

Regards,

Arvind
