# Acrobat Review

## Execute the scoped task

1. Identify the actual source assets, requested output, editable format and constraints. Confirm that any named attachment or design exists; do not invent a missing input.

2. Read the selected tool or script contract and establish access to the relevant document, project or account. Keep sensitive source content out of logs and unrelated services.

3. Work on a copy or reversible revision where supported. Preserve required dimensions, metadata, accessibility, editable elements and source fidelity; inspect rendered output rather than relying on file creation alone.

4. Return only artifacts you actually created or changed. Distinguish visual inspection, automated checks and unsupported application-specific behavior; retain required source attribution and licenses.

## Task-specific details and resources

## Use this skill when

- the task is about comment review, redlines, or comparing PDF revisions
- the user needs a review packet, comment summary, or collaborator handoff
- Acrobat is the right tool for side-by-side comparison or annotation consolidation

## Workflow

1. Identify the baseline PDF, the updated PDF, and the review objective.
2. Use the `adobe-acrobat` app to compare revisions, inspect comments, and consolidate markup.
3. Summarize material differences, open questions, and required follow-up actions.
4. Export the reviewed artifact and package a concise review handoff for the next owner.

## Outputs

- Reviewed PDF comparison or markup summary
- Collaborator handoff with action items and unresolved comments
