Hi.
I've created a pdf using Acrobat 8.0 Professional. You're supposed to be able to add comments in these pdfs from Reader. I have Reader 7.0, and the help says use the Comment Markup tool. But there is no such tool in my Reader. Anyone know how to make this work??

Thanks

My Product Information:
Acrobat 3D 8.1.2, Windows

Hi smitty,

You need to enable the PDF with Commenting Rights in Acrobat Pro to allow users with Adobe Reader to use the commenting tools. Enabling turns on hidden functionality on Adobe Reader, so without that you don't see the tools. In Acrobat Pro, enable the PDF under Comments ->Enable for Commenting in Adobe Reader, then click the Save Now button.Hope this helps,
