Reviewing PDFs

The Review PDFs feature allows you to review linked PDF files in a case spreadsheet in Adobe® Acrobat or Adobe® Reader — without having to flip back and forth between the PDF file and CaseMap.

The Review PDFs feature is available as part of CaseMap's DocPreviewer feature set. You must have Adobe® Acrobat v6.0+ (Standard or Professional) or Adobe® Reader v6.0+ installed on the same computer as CaseMap to use this tool.

If you are not using a document management system (like Concordance) or other image viewer application, use Adobe Acrobat's tools to mark text or insert comments in your document files that you need to reference later.
