I received a great article from a co-worker the other day as a PDF. I wanted to collaborate on this article, and I thought it would be great to do like we do with Google Docs all the time. What we love about Google Docs is that we can leave comments, make suggestions, keep track of versions, etc. all in real time or at separate times. I trust many of you have done this. Similar tools are available in Acrobat, so I wanted to share the article with my team so that we could have an online discussion about the contents of the article. I selected the tools for Comments and Reviewing and then was asked to save the file. Okay, that makes sense since the file is held locally and not already online like Google Docs. So, I select my Google drive, in which the whole team has my same access. Nope, Acrobat says I need to store it some place else. We all are Adobe Create Cloud members, so I tried saving it in the Creative Cloud. Nope, Acrobat will not accept that. Of course, my local drive won't work since it is not online. There is the option of a web server or a Microsoft product called SitePoint I think. I know what these are, but I don't have easy access to them. Oh, bother, why can't this be easy I wonder. I gave up. What a shame. The tools are there, but the hassle factor is too high. Unless of course, I am missing something. In which case I invite the community here to show me the way. Thank you.
