Participating in an approval workflow
If you're invited to participate in an approval workflow, you receive an email that provides
step-by-step instructions for approving the attached PDF document. If commenting is
enabled in the attachment, several items appear when you open the document. The Stamps
palette and How To window open, and the Document Message Bar appears at the top of
the PDF document, providing instructions.
You can select any of the digital identity stamps in the Stamps palette to approve the
document. Once you've added your stamp to the PDF document, you can send it to the
next approver. Or, you can reject the document and return it to the approval initiator
without your stamp. (See
Rejecting and returning a PDF document .)
When participating in an approval workflow, be sure to follow the instructions in the
invitation email. Use only the options provided in the Document Message Bar or in the
dialog box that appears after you apply your stamp. (See
Applying a digital identity
stamp .)
Important: If you use the Email button in the toolbar to send the PDF document, the
document no longer is part of the workflow, and approval options aren't available to the
recipient of that email message.
