I think you're always going to be up against this behavior to some
extent. If the reviewers download the PDF via their browser so that
they can work on it when they're not connected to the web server,
it's an inescapable fact. And if they're working while connected to
the web server, they're still going to be subject to the caching
behavior of their browser, which is going to force them to do a
refresh to see changes. But how much of an issue is this really,
unless you've got a bunch of reviewers who are trying to hold
a conversation via PDF annotations...

Art,

Have you used that functionality much? I played with it a bit and
found the server-based reviews to be awfully awkward: reviewers had to
continually -- and manually -- download the latest batch of comments.
There seemed to be no way of pushing new comments to reviewers.

Perhaps the functionality has improved in version 7, or maybe I was
missing something in earlier versions.
