Enable comments/highlighting in the output PDF
Hello everyone, I would like to create an output PDF file on which comments can be added by a reader for feedback. I do not know the settings to be applied in context to enable comments/highlighting of a section etc. in the generated PDF file. I am using free Adobe reader 9 on ubuntu presently. I have checked that adding comments works in this adobe reader for PDF files that have this enabled. Regards, Devendra

Best Martin _ Dear Martin,
Thank you for the pointer. Adobe Reader 9 (which is the latest version available for linux) does not allow this. However, Adobe Reader X (on windows) allowed comments and mark up straight away as no security settings are added while generation of the file. Regards, Devendra

Security settings are different from the comment ability. Security settings *take away* permissions and can be set using a variety of tools. The commenting ability actually *adds* a certificate which can only be added using proprietary Adobe software, not using open source tools. You have to purchase Adobe Acrobat. Marco
