I have an [file=InDesign file] for the spring [document=brochure] that needs feedback from [team=marketing] and the [vendor=printer] by [deadline=Thursday]. Package the document so images/fonts are embedded, include a simple checklist of what to check (copy, bleed, color), and prepare a single downloadable link I can send to both reviewers.

Design and production delayed the [brochure]; marketing will hesitate because last round missed image bleeds and copy errors. Create a review package that highlights pages with recent changes, shows before/after thumbnails for tricky spreads, and adds clear comments fields for the printer and marketing so their inputs don't conflict. Deliver a link with an expiration of [expiration=two weeks].

How to do it

the tool · the steps · what to avoid
  1. 1

    Open the PDF file you want to share in Adobe Acrobat (Mac or PC).

  2. 2

    Click the Share button in the top toolbar.

  6. 6

    Alternatively, choose to create a shareable link and manually send it to multiple reviewers if you prefer not to use email invitations.

    Best practiceIf your reviewers have trouble receiving email invites, copying the share link and sending it via your own email or chat system can help ensure everyone gets access.

You can track who has viewed or commented on your shared PDF directly within the Acrobat app.

about this task
  1. Open your InDesign document in Acrobat.

  3. Choose if you want to share with a public link or specific people.
  4. Acrobat will then send the document and start the review.

The main benefit of Share for Review is that it gathers all comments from different people into one file automatically. This means you do not have to combine many separate marked-up documents by hand. It saves a lot of time and makes managing feedback much easier.

When you share an InDesign document for review, Acrobat notifies you when reviewers comment. You can also check the 'Shared by you' section. This area shows you the status of your reviews and who has responded.

Share for Review is better because it automatically merges all comments into one central file. If you email PDFs, you get many separate files with different comments. You then have to manually combine them, which is slow and can lead to mistakes. Share for Review makes the process simple and organized.

Yes, you can control who sees your InDesign document. When you share, you can choose to create a public link that anyone can access, or you can invite specific people by name. This helps you keep your document secure and share it only with the intended reviewers.
