With the free *Adobe Reader X*, end users can use two commenting tools 
(sticky notes and highlight text), independently of how the PDF was 
created, as long as the PDF does not have security settings that prevent 
commenting -- see http://acrobat.solutions.adobe.com/content/areaderx_ipm1_en

Enabling PDFs for full commenting in an automated is possible with Adobe 
LiveCycle Reader Extensions (costly; you will not be able to find a price 
in Adobe's web site)
