Any suggestions for getting review comments?

I am using DocX to create documentation for a large .NET project. I am trying to find a solution for creating reviewable documents so that developers and others can make comments. Traditionally, we use PDFs so reviewers can easily add notes and comments. Unfortunately, DocX does not support PDF output for assemblies, so I need to find a solution. CHM or WebHelp do not lend themselves well to review, so I wondered what processes others might use to get their .NET assembly documentation reviewed. Thanks

  This is one of the scenarios for which we created the Community Extensions support. If you enable that feature in the Build Profile (perhaps in a custom "For Review" Build Profile), the CHMs that you generate will include the ability for people viewing the CHM to add comments and notes to individual topics (both in the conceptual and reference topics). In Document! X, you can view the comments that users have created whilst you are authoring, and also get access to a complete list of comments covering the whole project from a link on the Community Features page in the Build Profile editor.

  You can view a sample of some content that includes the Community features here: http://www.innovasys.com/products/hs2012/samples/webhelp/webframe.html

  There is also a movie providing an introduction to the Community Features here: http://www.innovasys.com/movies/viewmoviefeed.aspx?id=4489f046-52b0-4e65-add0-3af878209ee0
