If you’re asked to approve a PDF, you receive an e-mail message that provides step-by-step instructions. At the top of the PDF, use options in the Stamps palette and the document message bar to approve or reject the document.

For more information, see Participate in an approval workflow in Acrobat Help.

Note:

Only Acrobat users with multi-byte versions of Acrobat can start an approval workflow. However, Reader users with any language version can approve or reject a PDF.

Track a review (Reader application only, not browser)

To track a document review or view the status of a review, choose View > Tracker. The Tracker shows who has joined a review and how many comments each person has published.

  • The left side of the Tracker shows all PDF documents in managed reviews.

  • The right side lists the date and time the PDF was sent and the list of invited reviewers. Links to shared PDFs provide additional information, including the deadline (if set) and the number of comments submitted per reviewer. Deleting a link in the Tracker does not delete the PDF file.

  • Latest Updates summarizes the latest changes to reviews.

For more information, see Track reviewed PDFs in Acrobat Help.

  2. When prompted, click Yes to open the files that were automatically saved.

  3. Save the files with the same names as the files you were originally working on.

  2. In the left column, select Documents, and then select Automatically Save Document Changes To Temporary File Every XX Minutes.

  3. In the Minutes box, specify how often you want to save files.
