Re: Enabling Web-based PDF reviews

[Deborah Hemstreet <dvora -at- tech-challenged -dot- com>]

Tim, I read your comments with great interest... I have a question, how 
would this work if you do not have a server? For example, if I 'm 
working at home and want to send a PDF for review to several people, is 
there any way we can do this?
