More details about Shared Review
Kurt Foss has an interview with Randy Swineford, the product manager for Acrobat collaboration, about Shared Review. He goes into more detail about how Shared Review differs from the other review methods:
Shared Review files can be distributed any way you want—website, e-mail, document management system, network share drive and so on. Browser-based review files can only be distributed via a website (hence the name). The new shared-review infrastructure is no longer dependent on the location of the document. The path to the comment server is baked into the document when you send it for review, so you can open a document in a web browser, make comments, save it to your desktop/open Acrobat, make more comments, save it and then email it to someone else—in all cases, the review will "just work." This also means you can use the review document with a content management system that Adobe doesn't support (like eRoom) because you can just upload it like any other file and it will just work. Shared review works in the browser or in stand-alone Acrobat. And because each review has a unique review ID, you can send the same document for review multiple times (for example, if you wanted to have different sets of reviewers).
