How to collaborate and review using Acrobat whilst keeping your content safe

Many of us now work in a hybrid world and need to share documents within our teams and clients whether that be for proofreading, comment or final sign off. That’s where the best PDF editors come into play. Collaborative editing has become the gold standard for working on documents, both with professionals and students.

It’s easy to see why — everyone involved can see all changes and make their contribution without delay. But what exactly is collaborative document editing and how can it be achieved in Adobe Acrobat ? Collaborative editing uses an online platform to allow multiple people to work on a document, such as a PDF, simultaneously, enabling increased efficiency, improved communication, and enhanced productivity.

If you’re working with sensitive information, you have to protect it. It’s easy to encrypt with password and apply permissions to PDF files when working with multiple users and access points is also important. Here are some tips to help you make sure you are using secure document collaboration: Whilst sharing documents, you may need to prevent certain users from printing, editing, or copying content in a PDF.

As the author you are able to set the restrictions you want to apply to the PDF. The good news is that users cannot change these restrictions unless you give them password. For Illustrator , Photoshop , or InDesign users need to be able to enter the permissions password to open the PDF. Adobe created this content as part of a partnership with TechRadar Pro..
