  Review and Mark Up Documents Electronically

Say goodbye to frustrating, time-consuming document review cycles. That's right, no more software and platform incompatibilities that make sharing files a nightmare, and no more long e-mails and cryptic handwritten notes that make assembling comments nearly impossible. Now, you can streamline your review process from start to finish using Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) 4.0 software. Here's how.
 
Convert documents to Portable Document Format (PDF)
Convert your document to a compact PDF file that faithfully preserves the look of the original. Working in Microsoft(R) Office on a PC? Just choose File > Create PDF File from within Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Or simply drag and drop the file onto the Acrobat application icon for instant PDF conversion.

Convert Microsoft Office documents to PDF files in one simple step. All of the original fonts, formatting, colors, and images remain intact.

In fact, you can easily convert files created in all your favorite applications. You can even create PDF files from scanned paper documents. With Acrobat 4.0, you can convert, view, and print PDF documents containing text in 12 languages, so you can share and review documents with colleagues and clients around the world.

Modify, enhance, and share PDF files
After you convert your document to PDF, you can modify and enhance it directly within Acrobat. Create thumbnail views to easily move, copy, and delete pages. Insert pages from other documents or combine pages from different sources to create a single new PDF file. Then add bookmarks and links for easy navigation.

When your document is just right, send it as an e-mail attachment on your PC using the convenient Send Mail feature or post it on your corporate server for review. Because it's a PDF file, recipients can view and print the document, exactly as you created it, on any system.

Interactively review documents
With Acrobat 4.0, reviewers can quickly provide feedback using powerful markup tools: Insert comments using electronic notes; highlight, underline, strikethrough, and circle text; mark files as "Approved" or "Confidential" with handy clip-art stamps - all directly within the PDF file.

Speed up review cycles by marking up documents electronically.

When the marked-up PDF file is returned, you can automatically generate a summary of reviewers' comments organized by author and, on your PC, you can use the Document Compare feature to view pre- and post-review versions of the document. So viewing and sorting reviewers' feedback is a snap.
