Acrobat X Product Features
CONTENT REVIEW
Content Reviews
Collaborate Live • Use Collaborate Live to review a PDF with one or more
remote users in an online session. • In a Collaborate Live session, the participants view a document
with a live chat window. • When a participant shares a document, the page number and
magnification are also shared, so that everyone sees the same part of a document.
• To start a Collaborate Live session, you must have Acrobat X installed.
• Participants in a Collaborate Live session must have Acrobat X or Adobe Reader® X.
Managed PDF reviews • You don’t have to import comments, enable commenting
for Reader users, or manually track reviewer responses. • Note: You must have Acrobat Pro installed to enable commenting
for Reader users in managed reviews. You cannot enable commenting for Reader users using Acrobat Standard.
• Acrobat includes two types of managed reviews: shared and email-based reviews. • Each type of review has a wizard that helps you distribute a PDF
with special tools and instructions to reviewers.
Email-based Reviews • Email-based reviews are ideal when reviewers either
don’t have access to a common server or don’t require a collaborative approach to reviewing documents. • In an email-based review, the initiator sends a PDF to reviewers as
an email attachment. • Reviewers add their comments and return the document by using
the Send Comments button in the document message bar. • When receiving these comments, the initiator can merge them into
their copy of the PDF.
• The primary limitation to email-based reviews is that participants can’t view other comments during the review.
• Initiators can view comments only after receiving them.
Shared Reviews • Shared reviews are the most collaborative form of review
because participants can read and reply to the comments of other participants.
• Comments from participants are stored in a repository on Acrobat.com or on an internal server.
• Acrobat synchronizes comments at regular intervals to download all the latest changes.
• Reviewers are notified of new comments as they are added, and they can see and reply to comments made by other reviewers.
