Working with an editable PDF offers many opportunities to create professional-looking documents. That might mean compiling a report on a marketing campaign’s performance or publishing an informational brochure for clients. Imagine, when working on such a PDF, you could collaborate efficiently with other stakeholders.

With Tungsten Power PDF, real-time collaboration between business users isn’t just possible—it’s easy. With a suite of tools that continues to expand and an intuitive user interface, you can unite teams in the office or worldwide. Here’s why that matters and how to make it happen.

Overcoming Challenges in Version Control and Document Collaboration

Multiple people may need to get involved with creating a new business document. Even after a few drafts, you may need to take the document to higher-level stakeholders to allow them to review the content. With more than one person working at any given time, it’s possible to end up with several different copies of the same document. Not every copy may have the most recent changes, additions or comments.

Controlling different document versions quickly becomes a challenge. You can eliminate those version control issues by enabling real-time collaboration and practicing good document storage routines. With multiple stakeholders able to view and edit the document while seeing changes appear instantly, you can improve opportunities for teamwork while reducing errors and confusion.

How Power PDF Enables More Advanced Collaboration

In Power PDF, collaboration among users is simple, especially for those on the same network. Setting up a collaborative meeting lets multiple people work on the same document. Everyone involved will need Power PDF installed on their machine. One user sets up the meeting, invites others and then initiates the collaboration.

All changes occur in real time. Users receive distinct colors from one another, and cursors highlight who’s actively making changes. You can even choose whether to let invited members save copies of the final document or keep it under the control of the original meeting member.

In the latest version of Power PDF, we’ve expanded collaborative tools beyond the local network environment. You can now configure an independent secure cloud server to bring together remote and in-office team members. Let’s discuss how simple integrating collaborative functionality into your PDF and document assembly workflows is.

Getting Started is Easy

Setting up a collaborative work session in Power PDF takes only a few moments. The process is simple and intuitive. Begin by opening Power PDF and ensuring you’re on the Home ribbon. Then do the following:

1. Open the collaboration panel and make yourself visible to users on the same LAN.
2. Click the Start Collaboration button.
3. Select the document you want to open.
4. Add users from the list of individuals available on the network.
5. Click the start button to send the collaboration invites and open the document.

You can now begin working. Others can see all changes and make edits or comments as they join. Continue working together until you finish the document or conclude the session. Ending the session will save the document and finalize any changes. It’s that simple to integrate collaboration into your workflow.
