Collaborate with others in a PDF
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.
Initiate a Collaborate Live session
1 Choose Comment > Review > Collaborate Live.
2 If prompted, select or browse to the PDF, and click Next.
3 If prompted, enter your Adobe ID and password, or create an ID if you don’t have one.
4 On the email screen, do the following, and then click Send:
• Enter email addresses of your invitees. Insert a semicolon or a return after each address. Click the To or Cc buttons
to select email addresses from your email application address book.
• Preview and edit the email subject and message as needed. To use the default message, click Reset Default Message.
• To conduct the collaboration session on Acrobat.com, select Store File On Acrobat.com And Send A Link To
Recipients. To send the file as an attachment to the recipients, leave this option deselected.
• If you are conducting the collaboration session on Acrobat.com, choose an option from the Access Level menu to
specify who can download the file.
The Collaborate Live navigation pane opens in the document. After at least one participant joins the session, you can
share pages and chat online.
