I want to share a PDF for review but block adding annotations or comments.

This feature lets you share a PDF for others to read and review while preventing them from adding annotations or comments. It helps you collect feedback through separate channels while keeping the document clean and unchanged.

This feature is designed for situations where you need to distribute a PDF for review, approval, or reference without allowing in-document markup. When enabled, recipients can open and read the PDF, but the interface for adding comments, highlights, drawings, or other annotations is disabled. This helps ensure the shared copy remains free of edits and visually consistent for all viewers. It is useful when feedback must be provided outside the document, such as via email, a ticketing system, or a structured review form. The feature supports compliance-focused workflows by reducing the risk of unauthorized or untracked notes being added to shared materials. It also simplifies version control by preventing multiple annotated variants from circulating. Common use cases include sending final drafts to stakeholders, distributing policy documents, sharing client-facing deliverables, and providing controlled review copies during approvals. By limiting interaction to viewing only, the feature protects document integrity while still enabling broad distribution for review purposes. Teams can confidently share sensitive or finalized content knowing that reviewers cannot embed comments directly into the PDF.
