USING ACROBAT 9 STANDARD 166 Collaboration To revise a Word document using comments, you must create a tagged PDF from the Word document. Before you transfer text edits from the PDF, remove any extra words or information and then merge them to one PDF (if you have comments from multiple reviewers). If you plan to import comments more than once, you may want to make a copy of the Word document before you import the comments or comments may not be imported correctly. 1 Do one of the following: • Choose Comments > Export Comments To Word. • In Word, open the source document, and then choose Acrobat Comments > Import Comments From Acrobat. For Word 2007, click Acrobat, and then choose Acrobat Comments > Import Comments From Acrobat. 2 Read the instructions, and click OK. 3 In the Import Comments From Adobe Acrobat dialog box, select the PDF and Word files, select from the following options, and click Continue: All Comments Imports all comments. All Comments With Checkmarks Imports only those comments marked with check marks. Text Edits Only: Insertions, Deletions, And Replaces Imports only those comments that you've added using the text edit commands in the Comment & Markup toolbar. Apply Custom Filters To Comments Imports only comments that you specify by author, type, or status. Turn Track Changes On Before Importing Comments Shows the changes made by the imported comments in Word. 4 (Optional) If you imported text edits, click Integrate Text Edits in the Successful Import dialog box to review and apply each edit individually. For each edit, select one of the following options: Apply Makes the change in the document and deletes the comment bubble. If a comment appears to be empty, you may want to integrate it to see if it's a space or a paragraph return. Discard Rejects the edit and deletes the comment bubble. Next Skips to the next text edit. Text edits that are skipped or not integrated appear as bubbles in the Word document. Apply All Remaining Integrates all remaining text edits and deletes the comment bubbles. Undo Last Undoes the last text edit, including any manual changes. 5 Delete comment bubbles that appear in the Word document: • Right-click the comment bubble and choose Delete Comment. • Choose Acrobat Comments > Delete All Comments In Document. For Word 2007, this option is on the Acrobat ribbon. Approval workflows About approval workflows In Acrobat (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean only), you can send PDFs as email attachments for others to approve. When participants open an approval request in Acrobat (all languages), they can approve the PDF by adding a digital identity stamp. Then, they can send the PDF to other approvers, or return the PDF to the initiator and other appropriate participants. The initiator can track progress by choosing to be notified each time the PDF is approved. The workflow ends when the last participant adds the final approval. If a PDF isn't approved, the approval workflow must be reinitiated. Last updated 9/30/2011
