Approval workflows
About approval workflows
In Acrobat (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean only), you can send PDFs as email attach­
ments for others to approve. When participants open an approval request in Acrobat (all languages), they can
approve the PDF by adding a digital identity stamp. Then, they can send the PDF to other approvers, or return the
PDF to the initiator and other appropriate participants. The initiator can track progress by choosing to be notified
each time the PDF is approved. The workflow ends when the last participant adds the final approval. If a PDF isn’t
approved, the approval workflow must be reinitiated.
Note: To initiate an approval workflow, you must use Acrobat 7.0 or later (except for Acrobat Elements). If you use
Acrobat Professional to initiate the workflow, you can invite users of Adobe Reader 7.0 or later to participate by enabling
commenting in the PDF.
Wizard sets up approval workflows (left); Stamps palette provides digital identity stamps for approving documents (right).
