Prepare for a LAN collaboration meeting

LAN collaboration meeting participants should use Power PDF 3.0 or later, with computers connected to the same local network.

Whilst LAN collaboration meeting partners are awaiting for the invitation, meeting owners should proceed with the steps below:

  1. Open the document to share in collaboration.
  2. Switch to the Collaboration Panel.
  3. The Collaboration Panel requires you to specify your nickname before editing, so the Enter Nickname dialog box appears at first use. Enter a unique name in the Name box, then click OK.

    The Rename Nickname dialog box can be started later by clicking on its icon at the top of the Collaboration Panel.

  4. Select the LAN Collaboration (LAN Collaboration icon) tab.
  5. Select Visible to users in the same LAN to be discoverable to other Power PDF users for co-editing. This step also enables the Start Collaboration button.
  6. Click Start Collaboration.

    The LAN Collaboration dialog box appears.

Invite meeting members and start the collaboration as described in LAN Collaboration.
