Hello all,
I am seeking advice on documentation SME collaboration workflow.
The fly in the ointment for me is that I need to cover the following complications:
- My subject matter experts need the ability to add full text (rather than just comments and annotations) to my draft work
- They will not have access to FM, nor should they. They only need to edit text, add a paragraph or two, and perhaps even insert images (although not an absolute requirement)
- The SMEs are primarily working on Linux systems, so the solution needs to be OS agnostic
- Ideally, round-trip collaboration... meaning edits can be imported back into FM.
- Ideally, real-time collaboration... meaning that all collaborators can see each other's edits.
Is there any way to accomplish these goals with FM?
If not, wow!
Then what are my options... without loosing FM's powerful documentation building capabilities?
BTW, this video seems to imply that full text editing is allowed via PDF review, also round-tripping... but what about OS agnostic? Will the Linux PDF viewer allow the same editing? And what about real-time or near real-time collaboration?

Thanks a lot,
