How do I share a PDF for review in Adobe Acrobat?

Open your PDF in Acrobat. Click 'Share' on the top bar. Choose to create a public link or invite specific people by name. Your PDF is now shared, and reviewers can add comments.

Why is sharing a PDF for review better than emailing multiple copies?

All comments from everyone merge into one file automatically. You avoid the manual work of combining feedback from many separate PDFs. It is easier to track who has responded and who has not. Reviewers sign in and their comments are instantly part of the main document.

Open the email or link you received inviting you to review the shared PDF.
2
Click the link to open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat (desktop app or web, as specified by the sender).

4
Wait for the PDF to load and check that commenting is enabled (look for commenting tools or a message indicating comments are allowed).

Use the available commenting tools to add your feedback (for example, highlight text, add sticky notes, or use drawing markup).

Your PDF is now shared, and reviewers can add comments.

The main benefit of Share for Review is that it automatically gathers all comments from different reviewers into one single PDF file. This means you do not have to manually combine feedback from many separate documents, saving you a lot of time and preventing mistakes when reconciling different versions. It simplifies the entire review process.

When you share a PDF for review, Adobe Acrobat will send you notifications. These alerts let you know when reviewers have signed in and added their comments. You can also check the 'Shared by you' section in Acrobat to see the real-time status of your review and track who has responded.
