Dear all,
I'm urgently looking for software to share documents through the net amongst a party of three three.
We need to share a .pdf that is constantly updated (we use LaTeX -- TexShop which outputs a .pdf) as we collaborate on an translation/editing project.
We tried ichat but it seems of no help:
(a) screen sharing only works for two people and not for three!
(b) sharing a document is fine but it won't update the pdf whenever the editor typesets the document which makes it too static.
We tried to use subethaedit but
(a) we can only share the source code (i.e LaTeX code) and not the pdf and one of the editors is very distracted by all the additional blurb.
I really hate to say it but our current solution is just to use parallels and actually use netmeeting (yes that damn old Windows software) to share the document -- while using skype to chat.
We tried Xmeeting but it does not seem to allow to share documents.
I looked at other "buisness" solutions such as gotomeeting.com by they only allow to to screen share rather than share one single document.
So if anyone has any suggestions what programme to use to do the job so we don't have to run parallels that would be great -- thanks in advance!
