How to combine pdf documents and maintain history and versions

James Lee Dec 16, 2011 1:56 AM

I have a pdf document from supplier. After I have reviewed the document, I made some comments and submit to the supplier for his checking. The supplier comes back with comments with another pdf document.

So I actually have 2 pdf documents. The first document will have some comments made by me. The second document will have comments made by the supplier. Is there a way to combine these 2 pdf documents in EPDM, so that I can see the history of the 2 documents and track which are the latest versions?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
its only one document(name) in different versions?
So check in the document you get first from the supplier. Check it out, make your comments and check in again.
Now you have two versions, the original and the commented.

Check out the file again and overwrite it with the new file from the supplier and check it in.
You now have version three with the comments from the supplier.

Regards
Andreas

  We effectively do this when working with our User guides...
  
  We create an empty PDF in EPDM from a Template so that we can assign a Part Number, description, etc. We have our User Guides created by an external company and whenever they send us an update we check out the pdf, overwrite it (copy / paste) and then check in and send it through the workflow for Revision control.
