[Revisiting a thread from April, quoting everything because of gmane expiration of this list, new stuff at the end]

When I open a PDF file created by FOP in Acrobat Professional, and enable commenting, and then save it back, and then try opening it in Adobe Reader 7, I get a dialog with the following warning: "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document." And except that Adobe Reader says that "You can attach files to this documents", I haven't been able to find any commenting facilities. I have tried saving back to the original file, and I have tried saving to a new file. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there a workaround?
