To review the PDF later, reopen it from the Review Tracker to ensure that your comments are added to the tracked
copy of the PDF, and that the initiator receives your comments. If you don't send or publish your comments right
away, save the PDF before you close it to avoid losing your comments. Until the initiator receives your comments,
they appear only in your local copy of the PDF and aren't visible to other reviewers.
If you review a PDF using a version earlier than Acrobat 8.0 or Reader 8.0, some features may not be available.
