| 20110154180 | USER-SPECIFIC DIGITAL DOCUMENT ANNOTATIONS FOR COLLABORATIVE REVIEW PROCESS - A reviewer opens or imports a document into a document viewer. The reviewer can then create various annotations to the document. The reviewer then has the option of assigning each annotation to a specific recipient or group of recipients. The document viewer can be implemented as a centralized application where recipients to whom annotations have been assigned are notified that a document is available for viewing. Upon receipt of this notification, recipients can log on to the document viewer to view the document containing the annotations specific to each recipient. Alternatively, the document viewer can be implemented as a stand-alone application where recipients to whom annotations have been assigned are sent the document showing only those annotations intended for each specific recipient. | 06-23-2011 |
