Learn how to share PDFs with others for reviewing and adding comments.
You can share only PDF files for reviewing and commenting. To share a non-PDF file, you must first convert it to a PDF. When you share a PDF for review, recipients receive an email with a link to the file. They need to sign in to review the document and add comments. Additionally, you can set custom access permissions when sharing PDFs.

To set custom access, select the Link settings option at the bottom and then select one of the following access options:
- Anyone on the internet with the link to create a public link. Public links can be shared with large audiences without requiring sign-in but not for sensitive information.
- People in <organization> with the link (For enterprise users only) to provide access to anyone within the organization.
- Invited people only (For subscription users only) to share access with the invited collaborators only. Recipients need to request access to privately shared documents. The owner is notified of new requests and can grant or deny access via desktop or web, retaining full control over document accessibility.
Note:For enterprise users, the Anyone in <organization> with the link option is selected by default. Enterprise admins can manage user access via the Adobe Admin Console. These settings are unaffected by the access controls in Acrobat.
