Participating in a PDF review
Review a PDF
When you receive an email invitation to a PDF review, the invitation typically includes the PDF as an attachment or
provides a URL to the PDF. Alternatively, you may receive a Forms Data Format (FDF) attachment. When opened, an
FDF file configures your review settings and opens the PDF in Acrobat.
PDFs in a review have special features, including commenting tools and a document message bar with instructions.
Use the commenting tools to add comments to the PDF and then submit them, either by publishing comments to a
comment server where others can see them, or by sending comments as an email attachment to the review initiator.
Note: If you receive a PDF that doesn't include special features, add your comments using tools from the Comment &
Markup toolbar, save the PDF, and then send it back. (See
To review the PDF later, reopen it from the 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 Acrobat 8 or earlier, or Reader 8 or earlier, some features may not be available.
