How to Get a Link to an Existing Shared Acrobat Review
Question details
The user needs to retrieve or request the access link for an Adobe Acrobat shared review document that has already been created and distributed.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Accessing an ongoing PDF review session to view the document and submit comments.
- Observed behavior
- The user does not have the URL required to access the existing shared review and needs to know where to find or request it.
Check your email inbox or spam folder for the original invitation, as the initiator usually distributes the shared review link via an automated email.
Manage Participants or Ask the Sender
Retrieve the link directly from the review management interface if you are the host, or request it from the original sender if you are a reviewer.
If the document has already been distributed, the link is securely tied to the review session. The initiator has full control over the participant list and can easily generate or resend the access URL.
If you are the initiator, open Adobe Acrobat and navigate to the 'Review' or 'Tracker' window where your shared documents are managed.
Click on the option to manage participants or add new reviewers to the document.
Copy the shared review link provided in the sharing interface and send it to the required participants.
If you are a participant who lost the link, contact the original sender or another existing reviewer and ask them to forward the invitation link to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can anyone access the shared review link once it is generated?
It depends on the review settings defined by the sender. The initiator can restrict access to specific invited users (which requires a login) or create a public link allowing anyone with the URL to join as a guest.
Why does the review link ask me to sign in?
The document host may have configured the review to track comments by specific users. In this case, you must sign in with your ID to verify your identity before the system allows you to view or comment on the file.
What should I do if the review link has expired?
Shared review links are often created with specific deadlines. If you receive an expiration message, you must contact the review initiator to extend the deadline or provide a newly generated link.
