FAQ

about this task
  1. First, open your PDF in Acrobat.
  2. Then, click the 'Share' button at the top.
  3. Choose to share with a public link or specific people.
  4. Acrobat will send the PDF and collect comments for you.

Using 'Share for Review' is much better because Acrobat automatically combines all comments into one file. If you email PDFs, you get many different files back. Then you have to manually put all the comments together, which takes a lot of time and can lead to mistakes. 'Share for Review' keeps everything organized and saves you effort.

The 'Shared by you' area in Adobe Acrobat is a special place where you can see all the PDFs you have sent for review. It helps you track the progress of your reviews. You can see who has opened the PDF, who has added comments, and the overall status of the feedback process.

Yes, reviewers need to sign in to add comments. This usually means they will use an Adobe account to access the shared PDF, often through a web browser or the Acrobat Reader application. The system ensures that all comments are linked to a specific reviewer and are properly consolidated.

  • Emailing documents: You get many separate files, making it hard to combine feedback.
  • Printing and marking by hand: This is slow, uses paper, and needs manual data entry.
  • Using 'Share for Review': All comments go into one file automatically, saving time and making it easy to manage feedback from many people.
