DOCUMENT REVIEW · Workflow idea

Give reviewers a consistent PDF copy without losing document control.

Prepare a PDF copy when an eligible Word document arrives in an approved folder, then send it to a designated reviewer. Check source ownership, document classification, conversion fidelity, metadata, and recipient access; preserve the original, avoid broad sharing of sensitive files, and require the reviewer to approve the PDF before it is forwarded or treated as the final record.
