Understanding review documents and supporting documents

Review documents are PDF documents that are displayed to users in LiveCycle Workspace 9. Users add comments and apply digital signatures as required. Review initiators can submit one or more documents to review. Multiple documents are combined into a single PDF document for the review.

Review initiators are not limited to submitting PDF documents for review. Review initiators can submit any document format that can be converted to a PDF document, such as Microsoft® Office® documents. Conversion of non-PDF documents to PDF document is provided by LiveCycle PDF Generator service on the LiveCycle server.

Participants access supporting documents in Workspace 9 as task attachments. Supporting documents provide supplemental information (instructions, specifications, or URLs) and can range from traditional file formats such as Microsoft Office, to SWF files for video. Supporting documents can be added when you create a review template or initiate reviews. Supporting documents are not converted to PDF documents.

Both review documents and supporting documents are stored in the content repository.
