Select a PDF.
Information specific to the selected PDF review appears on the right. Shared reviews open a summary page that lists
reviewers who have joined the review and the number of new comments.
Save the PDF with comments
You can save a copy of the review PDF that contains all the comments that reviewers have published or that you’ve
imported (merged).
If the PDF is in a shared review, you can save an archive copy. The copy is no longer connected to the shared review,
and you can edit both content and comments in it.
If you want to create a copy of a shared PDF to distribute to others, use the Save As command. The resulting file will
include all comments that were published up to that point, and it can be moved, copied, or renamed without affecting
its connection to the review or to the comment server.
❖
To save a copy of a review PDF with all the comments, open the file, and then do one of the following:
•
For a shared review, choose File > Save As Archive Copy, or click the Status button in the document message bar
and choose Save As Archive Copy.
•
For an email-based review, choose File > Save As to save a new copy of the PDF. This most recently saved version
is now the tracked PDF. The old version is the archive copy.
•
For a browser-based review, use the Save And Work Offline button in the Comment & Review toolbar to save a
copy of the PDF with all the comments to the local hard drive.
Check server status
Check the server status in a shared PDF or in the Review Tracker to determine if you can connect to the comment
server.
