You can share your PDF document using Acrobat on your Windows or Mac desktop. Alternatively, you can also share using the iOS or Android Adobe Acrobat Reader Mobile app on your mobile device. You can also share online using Acrobat online services in any web browser. Send any PDF, including PDF forms and converted Microsoft Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPT), and Excel (XLS) files.
The Allow comments switch is turned on by default. If you want to share the file only for viewing, click the toggle to turn it off.
When you select Send, your PDF file is sent for comments to all recipients. Each recipient receives an email with a link to the shared document online. They can annotate and reply to others’ comments in real time in the online PDF with no sign-in or software needed.
To manage PDF files that you have sent for comments, go to Home and select Shared by you under Shared in the left pane. You can add reviewers, copy the review link to send to others, unshare the review file, or delete the review file. When a recipient views or comments in the shared file, you’ll get a notification in Acrobat.
