Start a Version Cue PDF review

You can start a Version Cue PDF review for any version of any PDF document that is on a Version Cue Server if you have appropriate privileges to access Version Cue Server Administration. Only one version of a PDF document can be in review at any point in time.

Note: The enhanced security features in Adobe Acrobat 9 may prevent users from participating in the review. Reviewers may get a message that states JavaScript is to be executed, and no comment tools are available after clicking OK. If this occurs, tell reviewers to turn off Enable Enhanced Security in Security (Enhanced) preferences in Acrobat, and then restart the browser.
  1. Log in to Version Cue Server Administration. (For instructions, see Log in to Version Cue Server Administration.)
  2. Click the Version Cue CS4 PDF Review link at the top of the page.
  3. In the main Version Cue CS4 PDF review page, click Start A Review.
  4. Click the Documents tab, and choose Not Started from the Review Status menu.

    Valid PDF and AI files appear in the list. To narrow the list of files to a specify project, choose the project name from the Project menu.

  5. In the Document List, click the name of the PDF document you want to review.
  6. Choose the version you want to review, and then click Start Review.
  7. In the Start Review page, enter review information:

    • To set an end date for the review, select Deadline, and then choose the end date from the Year, Month, and Day menus.

    • To let reviewers see each other’s comments, select Open under Review Mode. Select Private if you want reviewers to see only their own comments.

    • Type a description of the review in the Description box.

    • To add reviewers, select the reviewers’ names in the Reviewers section. (Click the check box next to the Reviewers column label to select or deselect all reviewers.)

      Note: If a reviewer is outside your workgroup and doesn’t have a Version Cue login, you need to set one up in advance. You must also provide network access—typically through a firewall—for outside reviewers.
  8. Click Next.
  9. To send an email invitation to reviewers, select Send E‑Mail Invitation, and then modify the Mail Subject and Mail Message as desired. In the E‑Mail Recipients section, choose reviewers who you want to invite by email.
  10. Click Start Review.
  11. If you chose to invite reviewers by email, Version Cue starts your email program and displays an email message addressed to the reviewers. The email includes a direct link to the document being reviewed. Confirm the contents of the review email, and send it.
