As others have noted, Reader 7 users can comment/review if you enable it
in Acro 7 Pro first. But, that's not the whole story. If you want to
host the doc on a server and enable browser-based review using Reader 7,
be prepared to send Adobe a bunch more money. 

I'd quote from the Acro 7 Pro Help, but you can't select text in that
file! (How annoying is that?) Look up the topic "Setting up a
browser-based review," and you'll see a note saying that Adobe Document
Server or Reader Extensions Server is required to enable Reader 7 users
to participate. 

Without the Adobe server software, you'll have to email the doc to
Reader 7 users. See the topic "Setting up an email-based review." 

HTH!
