Quick summary of the thread: The general opinion was that this is effectively an Acrobat-only feature. I= n fact, it seems that one needs Acrobat 6 or 7 Pro to enable commenting in = this way and that (at least on Mac) the "commmenting author" needs Reader 7= to be able to participate. That said, it was suggested that (though ill-ad= visable) the Acrobat security model could probably be readily breached in t= his respect by third party tools. I wonder if either (or both) of these: allow it ? Setting comments is not AFAICS mentioned in the blurb, but simil= ar tricks are. OTOH an academic license for 7 Pro is not *that* much more e= xpensive. mark.
