Overview of Acrobat 7.0 review types

Acrobat provides two types of review workflows: an email-based review and a browser-based review. Both review types use wizards to set up the review and a tracker to monitor reviews in which you participate, or that you initiate. To know which review is right for you, consider the following:

Email-based reviews are easiest to administer, but in order for reviewers to share their comments, they must send them to each other. To initiate the review, you send the PDF document to a group of recipients, who add comments to the document and send them to you.

To initiate the review, you upload the PDF document to the shared server and send an email invitation with an attachment to reviewers.

Once a review is started, you and your reviewers are provided with helpful tools and instructions at each point in the review cycle. To get started, choose one of the following:
