Shared Review and Email Review

Foxit PDF Editor enables users to initiate a review by two methods: Shared Review and Email Review. You can set up your review, specify reviewers and review deadlines. You do not need to import and export comment data or manually track reviewer responses. The review Tracker can help review initiators track all reviews and manage the whole review in real time.

Shared Review

Collect Comments on an Internal Server

Shared Review allows document authors to share a document on an internal server with others to gather feedback/comments from the reviewers. The review initiator can specify the document location, invite participants and set the review deadline.

After receiving the invitation from the review initiator, reviewers can mark-up PDFs using a full set of commenting tools. Comments from reviewers will be stored in the internal server and synchronized by Foxit PDF Editor to download them at a regular interval. Reviewers will be notified if new comments are added by others and they can also reply to these comments.

(For review initiators) Send a PDF Out for Shared Review

Tip: Before sending the message, you need to configure your mail on your Mac device first.

(For reviewers) Review a Shared Review Document

Upon the review initiator sending out the document, the specified reviewers will receive an email invitation to a PDF review. The email includes an attached document named “[original document name]_review.pdf” or provides a URL to the PDF.

To review the document:

Notes:

1. Reviewers will not be able to make comments or do other modifications to the shared documents in non-Foxit PDF viewers.

2. Reviewers should save the document as an archive copy to the hard drive using Foxit PDF viewers so as to modify the content.

Email Review

Email Review is useful when reviewers don’t have access to a common server or initiators don’t need collaborative reviews. In an Email Review, the initiator sends PDFs to reviewers as attachments and can view comments only after receiving the commented PDFs from reviewers. Also, the reviewers can only send back the PDFs after adding comments, and they cannot view comments made by others.

Send a PDF Out for Email Review

Participate in an Email Review

The recipients can download the document sent from the initiator and open it with Foxit PDF Editor, add their comments and click Send Comments button in the message bar to send their comments back to the initiator.

Likewise, you can manage your reviews by using the Tracker. See also Review Tracker.

Merge Comments

After receiving the document with comments from reviewers, the initiator open it and will be prompted with a message box about whether to merge comments from this document into the master file or not.

If you choose No, open this copy only button, you can still merge comments after you open it by clicking Merge Comments button in the message box.

Review Tracker

To track all of your reviews, please click Share > Tracker. The review Tracker helps you easily manage document reviews in real time. The tracker shows all the reviews you sent and joined and the detailed review status including review deadlines, reviewers, comments, etc. You can also email reviewers/initiators with the tracker. If you are the review initiator in a Shared Review, you can also change the deadline, end the review and start a new review with the same reviewers.
