How to Change the Default Shared Review Message in Adobe Acrobat
Question details
The user wants to know if there is a way to set a custom, team-wide default message for PDF shared review invitations in Adobe Acrobat instead of using the standard text.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Setting up or sending shared review invitations for a team project.
- Observed behavior
- Acrobat uses its own standard default text, and there is no native setting to establish a team-wide default template or alter the message of an already shared review.
Check whether you are attempting to modify an active review or create a new one, as Adobe Acrobat does not allow you to change the initial message once a review has already been shared.
Edit the Invitation Message Manually Before Sending
Since Acrobat does not offer a global team-wide default message setting, senders must manually customize the text during the review setup process.
Adobe Acrobat does not provide a built-in feature to enforce a team-wide default message for shared reviews. Furthermore, if a review has already been initiated, you cannot alter its original invitation message. The most reliable method is to have each team member customize the message manually before sending the invitation.
Open your PDF document in Adobe Acrobat and select 'Send for Shared Review' from the Tools menu.
Follow the on-screen prompts to specify the review server and add the email addresses of your intended reviewers.
In the email message box, delete the standard Acrobat text and paste your team's preferred custom message before clicking the 'Send' button.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the message for an Adobe Acrobat shared review after it has been sent?
No, once a shared review has been initiated and the invitation sent, Acrobat does not allow you to change the initial message. You would need to send a follow-up email or start an entirely new review.
Is there a way to create a custom email template for all PDF reviews in Acrobat?
Acrobat does not natively support creating a global, team-wide email template for shared reviews. Users must manually replace the default text each time they send an invitation.
Why does Acrobat use standard text for review invitations?
Acrobat includes standard text to ensure the recipient receives clear, automated instructions on how to participate in the shared review, connect to the server, and access the necessary commenting tools.
