Module Six

This module will explain how to use comment and markup tools for reviewing and making comments.

If a person sends you a document for review and commenting, you do this by using the tools on the COMMENTING toolbar.

Reviewing and commenting

There are several ways to use Acrobat in a document review process. no matter which method you use, the workflow contains some core elements; the review initiator invites participants and make the document available to them; reviewers comment; and the initiator gathers and works with those comments.

You can share any PDF document by email, on a network server, or on a website, and ask individuals to comment on it using Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, or Acrobat pro Extended. If you post it or email it manually, you'll need to keep track of returned comments and merge them on your own. If you're requesting feedback from only one or two other people, this might be the most efficient way for you to work. For most reviews, however, you can gather comments more efficiently using a managed review process. Additionally, in a shared review or live collaboration, reviewers can see and respond to each others's comments.

Here is a link to a PDF with a brief overview of the tools in the commenting toolbar. For more information and there uses, consult the help file.

Using Stamps, creating custom stamps

You apply a stamp to a PDF in much the same way you apply a rubber stamp to a paper document. You can choose from a list of predefined stamps, or you can create your own stamps. Dynamic stamps obtain information from your system and from the Identity panel of the Preferences dialog box, allowing you to indicate name, date, and time information on the stamp.
