To view new comments in a shared review, you must have access to Acrobat.com or be able to connect to the network

enter the new value for Send Comments As FDF For Files Greater Than [#] MB.
Publish comments from other reviewers
When you participate in a review, you may receive comments from other reviewers. If a reviewer can't access the
comment server, they may send you their comments. If you solicited feedback from individuals who weren't initially
invited to the review, they may return a copy of the review PDF to you with their comments. By taking ownership of
the comments, you can share them with everyone in the review.
Open the PDF that contains comments.
