I want a number of reviewers to be able to annotate several documents. We do not share a common resource, so shared review is out of the question. Some have dial-up access, so I don't want to keep sending large attachments which may arrive in peak telelphone charging times.

Can I put the PDF on a web site from which they can download it, annotate and then send to me by email?

Apart from enabling annotation, is there anything I need to do to the PDF document before uploading?

If you share a common resource like a web site you can use the Browser Review capability, which is different from a shared review. Reviewers will also have the ability to Save and Work Offline as well. The main difference in this workflow is that you'll need to collect the comments manually (if they're emailed back to you).

Browser based review won't work. My reviewers do not possess Acrobat Pro and I can't expect them to buy it (nor can I afford to give it to them - this is a first novel, it probably won't be published and even if it is, the royalties wouldn't cover the cost).

Can I create an e-mail review but modify the message to remove the document and put a URL for where I put it on the web site, with password details?

Alternatively, can I set up a shared review but put the document on a web site so that people can download it and treat it as if they were outside the firewall?

The problem at the root of this is that I will be asking people to review 48 documents, total size well over 1MB. Not all will want to make comments and some will not want to use this method, so I want to offer them the option of fetching the material themselves in their time.
