Check for newly published comments
When you participate in a shared review, Acrobat synchronizes published comments on your local drive with those
on the comment server, and then notifies you when new comments are available. Notifications appear as bezel-style
messages in the open PDF. In Windows, notifications also appear as balloon-style messages in the notification area
(system tray). Because synchronization continues after the PDF is closed, you'll continue to receive notifications.
Messages in the notification area inform you when new reviewers join the review, when updates occur (multiple
reviews), and when synchronization attempts fail. They also inform you when a new broadcast subscription is added
in the Review Tracker. You can change how often messages appear and how often comments are synchronized, and
you can manually trigger the synchronization process.
View new comments
To view new comments, you must be able to connect to the network where the comment server is located. If you can't
connect, check the server status in the Review Tracker to determine the cause of the problem. (See "Check server
status" on page 167.)
