Share the draft departmental procedures PDF with all managers and enable comments so feedback is collected in one file…
Open the PDF document you want to share for review in Adobe Acrobat.
Select the option to share the document for review by clicking the Share button in the toolbar or right-hand panel.
Choose the method for sharing, such as selecting an option to invite people or generate a link for reviewers.
Enter the email addresses of your reviewers, or copy and share the generated link as needed.
Set any desired permissions or deadlines for the review process.
Send the invitation or share the link to begin the shared review.
Reviewers can add comments directly in the shared PDF, and you will see their feedback in real time within Acrobat.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
The main benefit of Share for Review is that it automatically combines all comments from different people into one file. If you email PDFs, you get many separate files back. Then you have to manually put all the feedback together. Share for Review saves you time and effort by doing this for you, making it easier to manage feedback.
After you share a PDF for review, you can track who has commented. Go to the 'Shared by you' section within Adobe Acrobat. This area shows the status of your shared documents and lists who has responded with comments. It helps you keep track of all reviewer activity.
You should use a public link if you need feedback from many people, or if you don't know everyone's email addresses. A public link lets anyone with the link open and comment on your PDF. This is useful for wide distribution or when speed is more important than strict control over who reviews the document.
If multiple people comment on your PDF at the same time using Share for Review, Acrobat handles it well. All their comments are collected and merged into a single file automatically. You don't have to worry about separate versions or losing feedback. Acrobat keeps everything organized in one place for you to review.
