How do I update or change a PDF in the Document Cloud without having to create a new Shared Link?  I have an existing document in the Adobe Document Cloud.  The shared link has been sent to many users.  Can I edit the document so the end users see the changes without having to send a new link, if so how is this done?  Thanks!

    Creates a new URL each time you do this...


    Actually... I could be wrong. Weird. I did this earlier today... with a file that was posted a few weeks ago... and it changed the URL. Just for fun I unshared/reshared it once more today without making changes. That time, the URL stayed the same. Hmmm.

    Hi mosley wh29681322,

    As per the issue description mentioned above, you want to update/change a pdf in document cloud without creating a new shared link for the pdf, is that correct?

    You may try sharing file with "review file" option and check if that works for you. 

    Refer to the following help document which explains more:

    Share and track PDFs online using Adobe Document Cloud

    Thanks,

      Unfortunately review wont work because I do not want to have end users access to change the document.   I just need to make corrections to the document without changing the link they were originally sent.

        Hi mosley wh,

        As far as I know, an option to make changes (annotation) on the pdf for you or for the recipient is only available when you share a file using "review file" option. If sent using "view file" option, you also wouldn't be able to add annotations on the pdf.
