DISCLAIMER: I'm using Acro 7; undoubtedly, Adobe has made random changes to what it calls things and the details of how they work. That said, I think you're doing two things that are similar, but not the same, and you should be doing one or the other, but not both. It's understandable; the help explains them poorly (at least in 7). If you're going to email the PDF to someone and want their comments back, all you need to do is step 2 above. A Save As dialog prompts you to save a copy of the PDF (you can overwrite the original if you insist). Send that copy, which has the "special features" enabled to allow commenting in Reader. *Don't do step 3 (the wizard). I've done this many times, and never used the wizard. You need one of the wizards (under Comments > Send for Review) _only_ if you want to see multiple people's comments merged into one document. In that case, *don't* select Comments > Enable For Commenting first; just go straight to the wizard. HTH! Richard ------ Richard G.
