Participating in a browser-based review
When you receive an email message that invites you to participate in a browser-based 
review, opening the FDF attachment opens the online PDF document in your web 
browser. The FDF file also configures your review settings for the session and connects 
you to the online comments repository, which stores all comments for the review. You can 
add comments, upload them for others to see, download other reviewers' comments, and 
change the review status. If you don't want to review the PDF document using your web 
browser, you can save the PDF document for an offline review in Adobe Reader and 
upload your comments later. 
The online comments repository is a server location defined by the review initiator. This 
location is configured automatically when you open the review email attachment. 
However, if you don't have access to this server, you can't participate in the review. Notify 
your review initiator.
You cannot edit or delete another reviewer's comments, but you can add a reply. (See 
.)
To participate in a browser-based review:
1.  Open the FDF attachment in your email application. This configures the review settings, 
opens a copy of the PDF document in your web browser, and makes any comments that 
other reviewers have already added to the document appear. If you want to add comments 
in Adobe Reader instead of in your browser, click Save And Work Offline on the 
Commenting toolbar. (See 
.)
Note: If the PDF document does not appear in your browser, you may not have access to 
the server where the PDF file is located. Contact the review initiator or your system 
administrator.
2.  Use the tools on the Commenting and Drawing Markup toolbars to add comments to the 
3.  Click the Send And Receive button 
 in the Commenting toolbar to upload your 
comments. This allows you to view other reviewers' most recent comments and lets others 
see your comments. (See 
.)
Note: Be sure to upload your comments before you quit the browser or visit other 
websites, or you lose your comments. 
4.  If you want to add more comments later, open the document in the email application. Or, 
if you saved the document offline, open the saved document, add comments, click Go 
Back Online, and upload your comments.
