[blindlaw] Reviewing Redlining in Adobe PDF Document

[Angie Matney]

Tai, how did the other attorney mark it up? (Is this someone adverse
to you, or someone with whom you are collaborating?) Did they make
handwritten comments to the document, or did they edit it in Word and
then convert it to PDF?

I think the issue of what your firm requires when documents are sent
out is separate from what you can ask for when documents are received.
You certainly can ask this other individual to send you a Word
document, even if you can't necessarily respond with one. I have had
to do this on occasion. I've not yet found a reliable method other
than a reader for dealing with PDF comments.

Not sure that's very helpful, but I wish you the best of luck.
