To be able to submit your corrections via email you'll need to download Adobe Reader version 9 or higher.

1. Click on the URL you receive in the email, or if there is an attachment, open the attachment.
2. Download and save the PDF file of your manuscript on your computer.
3. Annotate your proof with Adobe Reader.

   If you are using Adobe XI, don't make direct edits to the PDF using the editing tools as this could lead to requested changes being overlooked. Instead please request corrections by using the tools in the 'Comment' pane to annotate the PDF. If you opt to annotate the file with software other than Adobe Reader, please also highlight the appropriate place in the PDF file.

4. Return the annotated manuscript by replying on the original email.
