How do I share a PDF for client review for free?

Upload your PDF to FileFeedback, copy the review link, and send it to your client. FileFeedback has a free plan that lets you share PDFs and collect annotated feedback with no time limit. Your client doesn't need to sign up — they open the link and annotate directly on the page.

Does my client need Adobe Acrobat or a login to annotate the PDF?

No. Clients open the review link in any browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox — and click directly on the part of the PDF they want to comment on. No Acrobat, no PDF reader software, no FileFeedback account required.

How precise are the annotations on the PDF?

Very precise. When a client clicks on the PDF, FileFeedback records the exact pixel coordinates on that page. The annotation is pinned to that spot so you can see exactly what they're referring to — not just 'page 4, somewhere near the top'. This works on any element: text, images, charts, logos.

Does it work for multi-page PDFs?

Yes. FileFeedback renders every page of a multi-page PDF. Clients navigate page by page and leave annotations anywhere. Comments are organised by page number so you can work through a long document systematically.

Can I share the PDF with multiple reviewers?

Yes. Share the same review link with multiple people, or invite specific reviewers by email. All annotations from all reviewers appear in the same thread — you always know who said what.

Can I collect a formal sign-off once the client approves the PDF?

Yes. When the client is satisfied with the final version, they click Approve. FileFeedback records their name, the version they approved, and the exact date and time. This timestamped record protects you in print disputes or scope-change conversations.

How to share a PDF for client review

Upload, share a link, collect pinpoint feedback — from first draft to formal approval.

Upload your PDF

Drop any PDF into FileFeedback — single page, multi-page, print-ready, or draft. It renders at full resolution in a private review thread.

Copy and send the review link

FileFeedback generates a unique review link. Copy it and paste it into an email, Slack, or any messenger.

Client annotates directly on the page

Your client opens the link in any browser (no Acrobat, no account needed) and clicks on the exact word, image, or element they want to comment on. Each annotation is pinned to precise coordinates.

Revise and collect formal approval

Upload the revised PDF to the same thread. Client verifies the changes and clicks Approve — a timestamped sign-off saved to your records.

What you need to get useful PDF feedback

Full-resolution rendering, pinpoint annotations, multi-page navigation, version comparison, and formal sign-off.

Full-resolution PDF rendering

FileFeedback renders PDFs at original resolution — no compressed previews, no JPEG artefacts. What your client sees is what goes to print or production.

Pinpoint annotations

Clients click the exact spot — word, paragraph, image, logo — and their comment pins there. No 'page 4, third column, I think the second paragraph' ambiguity.

Pixel-preciseAny element

Multi-page navigation

Navigate and annotate any page in a long document. Comments are organised by page number so nothing gets missed in a 50-page brand guide.

Version stacking

Upload V2 to the same thread as V1. Clients compare versions to confirm every change was implemented correctly before signing off.

No client account required

Clients click a link and annotate. No sign-up, no Acrobat, no PDF reader. Removing this friction means faster feedback.

Timestamped approval record

Every sign-off records the reviewer's name, the version approved, and the exact date and time. Essential protection for print work and milestone billing.
