Share for review doesn't have accept changes, make change?

[mikejasinski]

Hi. I have an ID document that I did file/share for review. Got comments, can see them in ID, but I can't locate an accept change or make change "button" like when you import comments from a PDF and ID makes the edit. I can only see, or mark resolved or unresolved.

Don't understand the use of this Share feature then...

I've used Annotoations by DTP since launch, but the client refuses to make pdf comments, event online acrobat which is frustating me to no end.

Thanks in advance.

You are correct. Share for Review is really for last-second final OKing. Any comments you might collect will have to be transcribed manually by the InDesign sharer. And you are correct again: PDF Commenting is better for mid-stream editing. IF the commenter uses only the 3 main auto-edit comment tools (among 20 comment tools) in Acrobat, then you can receive those comments back to InDesign and, using the PDF Comments panel, allow a marked change to automatically replace back into the layout of InDesign.

I wish we could blend the feature set of both of these approaches available within InDesign. I wish both features were strengthened with additional power and flexibility.

That leaves you with the challenge to "train your writers/editors/stakeholders to use Acrobat Pro", and use only the 3 auto-edit comment tools. As ever, ... good luck with the human element!
