Enabling Collaboration
By using Really Simple Syndication (RSS), collaboration servers can provide customized
XML-based user interfaces directly inside of Acrobat itself, thus providing a more dynamic
and personalized tool, and providing JavaScript developers a means to extend
collaboration, including full user interfaces.
In addition, it is now straightforward to migrate comments from one document to another,
carry comments across multiple versions of a document, and anchor comments to content
so that the annotations remain in the right place even if the content changes.
The advantages of this are that it is possible to automate discovery of collaboration servers,
initiation workflows, and RSS feeds which may be used to populate content inside Adobe
Reader.
It is significant to note that users of Acrobat Professional can enable collaboration, thus
enabling them to invite users of Adobe Reader to participate in the review process.
The following JavaScript methods will be enabled in Adobe Reader when collaboration is
enabled:
doc.addAnnot
doc.importAnFDF
doc.exportAnFDF
