Enable comments/highlighting in the output PDF

Enable comments/highlighting in the output PDF

[Devendra Ghate]

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

Use Adobe Acrobat and add that option to the PDF.

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.
