Writing comments in pdf files is possible, according to Adobe, only if the permission is set by the author and has to be dome using Adobe Products. /quote In Adobe Reader, you can add comments only if additional usage rights that enable commenting are added to the PDF document by Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional or Acrobat server products.
