How to Resolve Adobe Document Cloud Review Link Issues
Question details
A user submitted a Document Cloud review link in a support forum without specifying their exact question or the software product version being used.

- Product
- Adobe Document Cloud
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Seeking community support for a shared PDF review link.
- Observed behavior
- The support request lacked necessary context, prompting moderators to ask for the specific application (such as Acrobat Reader or Mobile) and the actual question before assistance could be provided.
Before posting a Document Cloud link in a support forum or sharing it with colleagues, verify which specific PDF application version you are using (e.g., Acrobat Pro, Reader Mobile, or Acrobat Online).
Provide Necessary Details for Forum Support
Use this solution to properly structure your support request so that community moderators can effectively troubleshoot your document link issue.
Support forums require context to provide accurate answers. Dropping a review link without an explanation often leads to delays because moderators cannot guess the issue or the platform you are working from.
Check your device to see exactly which application you used to generate the link. Determine if you are using Acrobat desktop, Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Reader for Mobile (including beta versions), or Acrobat Online.
Write down the exact issue you are experiencing. For example, specify if the link fails to load, if collaborators cannot leave comments, or if you are receiving an error message.
Navigate to the support forum and select the category that matches your specific software version before submitting your question and review link.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't collaborators add comments to my Document Cloud review link?
This usually happens if the link was generated with 'View Only' permissions. You need to adjust the sharing settings in your PDF software to allow comments and annotations before distributing the link.
How do I know which version of Adobe Acrobat I am using?
Open your Adobe application, click on 'Help' in the top menu bar, and select 'About Adobe Acrobat' or 'About Acrobat Reader'. A dialog box will appear displaying your exact version details.
Do reviewers need an account to access a shared PDF link?
In most cases, reviewers can open and read a shared PDF as a guest via their web browser. However, depending on the sender's security settings, leaving comments or making edits may require them to log into an account.
