Adobe ACROBAT READER 7.0, Manual, Page: 91 / 262

Tool operation basics
Adobe Reader provides all the tools you need to participate in a PDF document review.
When you open a PDF document in a review, it includes a Document Message Bar with
instructions for you to complete the review. The Commenting toolbar appears with a
number of tools and menus that you can use to add comments. If the review initiator
specified markup tools while setting up the review, the Drawing Markup toolbar may also
appear. (See
About adding comments .) The Commenting toolbar includes a button for you
to send your comments back to the initiator, and to other reviewers, if you wish, when
you're finished. The How To window provides additional information to help you add
your comments and return your feedback to the initiator. (See
Using the How To pages .)
Note: When you open a PDF document in a browser-based review, the commenting tools
and Document Message Bar do not appear until the PDF document is authenticated. This
process may require several seconds, during which the PDF document itself can be
viewed.
