A shared PDF review is a way to send a PDF document to many people for their feedback. Adobe Acrobat collects all their comments into one single file. This means you don't have to combine notes from many different copies of the document, making the review process much simpler and faster for everyone involved.
Using 'Share for Review' saves a lot of time and effort. When you email copies, you get many different files back, each with its own comments. You then have to manually put all those comments together. 'Share for Review' automatically combines all feedback into one main file, so you see everyone's notes in one place without extra work.
