How is generated Acrobat reviewID? (Acrobat 8 - shared reviews)

[Radek_Bauer@adobeforums.com]

Hello i'm trying to get any information how is generated reviewID. It's part of directoryname when the PDF file is reviewed (shared reviews - webdav or network folder)

directoryname:
DP2_Review.pdf__a81c922551db314b982188ffc2259fde

reviewID part:
a81c922551db314b982188ffc2259fde

also reviewID is included in xml file with comments:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0"><channel>
acrobat:Review?reviewID=a81c922551db314b982188ffc2 259fde
<ttl>120</ttl>
....

I think it's some MD5 hash, but i cannot find any information (SDK including) how to create it. I found some old Adobe MD5 HASH Algorithm in Perl <http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/52680.htm>
but the results of hash is not the same.

Thanks for any help.

With Acrobat 7, obtaining a hash is a two step process. Not sure about v8 but this may help. You have to convert the URL first, and then create the hash.
