Set up shared PDF review

Understand how to set up a shared review in Adobe FrameMaker.

Setting up a shared review of a PDF enables you to create a collaborative environment for reviewers.

To set up a shared PDF review with Adobe FrameMaker, do the following:

1. Open the document and choose File > Save As Review PDF.

2. Select Send For Shared Review.

3. In the Save Document dialog box, specify a location and name for the PDF and click Save.

4. Modify the PDF settings if required. For example, specify Start Page and End Page if you want to save a part of the document as PDF (and not the entire document).

   Important: Do not deselect the Generate PDF For Review Only option on the Settings page and the Generate Tagged PDF option on the Tags page. By default, these options are selected to ensure that FrameMaker saves the PDF with enough information to import comments reliably into the source document.

5. Click Set.

   FrameMaker creates the review PDF, opens the PDF in Acrobat Pro DC, and prompts you to initiate a shared review.

6. Choose how you want to collect comments from reviewers and click Next to proceed.

7. To invite reviewers, specify the email address of each reviewer.

8. Click Finish. Acrobat adds “_Review” to the filename. The reviewers receive a link to the file and instructions on how to publish their comments.
