3. Introduction
In this hands-on session, you will learn how to use
expanded features in Adobe Acrobat X Pro to:
• Speed up content reviews
• Efficiently receive and process rich content
• Combine a variety of file types into a single PDF Portfolio (including
email messages, scans and web content).
You’ll also how to effectively combine Adobe Acrobat Pro
with some of your favorite eLearning development tools
such as Adobe Captivate and Articulate Studio.
7. Collaborate Live
• Use Collaborate Live to review a PDF with one or more
remote users in an online session.
• In a Collaborate Live session, the participants view a document
with a live chat window.
• When a participant shares a document, the page number and
magnification are also shared, so that everyone sees the same part
of a document.
• To start a Collaborate Live session, you must have
Acrobat X installed.
• Participants in a Collaborate Live session must have
Acrobat X or Adobe Reader® X.
8. Managed PDF reviews
• You don’t have to import comments, enable commenting
for Reader users, or manually track reviewer responses.
• Note: You must have Acrobat Pro installed to enable commenting
for Reader users in managed reviews. You cannot enable
commenting for Reader users using Acrobat Standard.
• Acrobat includes two types of managed reviews: shared
and email-based reviews.
• Each type of review has a wizard that helps you distribute a PDF
with special tools and instructions to reviewers.
9. Email-based Reviews
• Email-based reviews are ideal when reviewers either
don’t have access to a common server or don’t require a
collaborative approach to reviewing documents.
• In an email-based review, the initiator sends a PDF to reviewers as
an email attachment.
• Reviewers add their comments and return the document by using
the Send Comments button in the document message bar.
• When receiving these comments, the initiator can merge them into
their copy of the PDF.
• The primary limitation to email-based reviews is that
participants can’t view other comments during the review.
• Initiators can view comments only after receiving them.
10. Shared Reviews
• Shared reviews are the most collaborative form of review
because participants can read and reply to the comments
of other participants.
• Comments from participants are stored in a repository on
Acrobat.com or on an internal server.
• Acrobat synchronizes comments at regular intervals to
download all the latest changes.
• Reviewers are notified of new comments as they are
added, and they can see and reply to comments made by
other reviewers.
