In Sharepoint why is WORD editing changes live but PDF editing changes (mark ups) need to be saved?
Hi everyone.
I have an issue that I cant seem to work around and hoping someone has a suggestion.
Our company uses Sharepoint and as we all work from rural locations we regularly use Sharepoint WORD to create single documents together as we can see the live changes/additions we each make which is very helpful in collaborating on the same document at the same time.
However, when you open a PDF through Sharepoint and click 'EDIT' you cannot see live changes/mark ups being made in real time like you can in WORD. Does anyone know why this isn't live? Members of our team can only see the changes/markups made when a single user has finished and has saved their work from the PDF editing screen. This has caused some issues with people editing at the same time and not realising someone else was doing the same thing etc.
To edit PDFs in Sharepoint I'm referring to when you open the PDF and click 'edit' on the far top right of this screen, which allows you to mark up with text, pen etc.
It would be so helpful if there was a way to be able to do these PDFs markups in a live format so other team members can see these changes as they happen in real time.
Any ideas or insights would be appreciated.
