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 Form Data Format (FDF) attachment. When opened,
an FDF file configures your review settings and opens the PDF in a web browser.
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.
