Enable commenting for Adobe Reader users

By enabling commenting rights in a PDF, Adobe Reader 8.0 users can participate in reviews of that PDF. When a PDF with commenting rights opens in Reader, it includes a document message bar, a How To pane with instructions, and commenting tools that are otherwise unavailable.

 Use either of these methods to enable commenting for Reader users:

  • In an open PDF, choose Comments > Enable For Commenting In Adobe Reader, and then save the PDF.

  • Start the wizard to initiate a shared review or an email-based review and follow the on-screen instructions. When you’re finished, commenting is enabled in the PDF that you specify for the review.
