Starting a browser-based review
Acrobat includes a wizard that helps you initiate a browser-based review. The wizard
helps you select the PDF document, choose the server location for the uploaded PDF file,
invite reviewers, and send an email invitation with an FDF attachment. When reviewers
open this attachment, the review document opens in a web browser, and their review
settings are configured automatically.
Before you start the setup wizard, you must specify the location of the comments
repository, where the review comments are stored in your Reviewing preferences. If you
want to add comments to the PDF document, you may want to wait until after you upload
the document to the server. If you add comments beforehand, they are embedded, and you
can't edit them.
To start a browser-based review:
1. Specify the comments repository in the Reviewing preferences. (See Setting Reviewing
preferences for browser-based reviews.)
2. Start the setup wizard by doing one of the following:
● Choose Comment > Send For Review > Upload For Browser-Based Review
● Choose File > Send For Review > Upload For Browser-Based Review.
● Choose Upload For Browser-Based Review from the Send For Review pop-up menu.
3. If you haven't set up your Identity preferences, you are prompted to do so. You must
provide your email address.
4. Specify the PDF document to upload, and then click Next.
5. Do one of the following:
● Type the path for the server location (such as http://server/folder/) in the box, and then
click Next.
● Click Browse (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS) to select a folder on a network server, and
then click Next.
6. In the Invite Reviewers dialog box, specify the reviewers' email addresses (at least one
address must appear in the box); insert a semicolon, comma, or return between each
address. Edit the review description as necessary, and then send the message.
7. If your email application does not let you send email automatically for security reasons,
make the email application active, answer any alert messages that may appear, and send
the message.
8. To make sure that the setup is correct, add a note comment to the document, and then
click Send And Receive Comments on the Commenting toolbar. If your comments can't
upload to the server, your Reviewing preferences settings are likely incorrect. (See Setting
Reviewing preferences for browser-based reviews.)
Note: When reviewers click Send And Receive Comments, their comments are stored in
the location specified by the initiator in the Reviewing preferences.
