Acrobat 9 - a disaster

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Tori,

You can also open the PDF in Acrobat Professional and check the
properties. If commenting in Adobe Reader is enabled, the settings
in the properties dialog are greyed out and cannot be changed. The 
Security tab lists the limitations. You do not need to check this in 
Adobe Reader.

Best regards
