Annotating text in a cross-ref in a PDF

I'm generating PDFs out of Frame 11 and opening them in Acrobat 11 
Pro in a Windows environment. I've discovered that the text in 
cross-references created in Framemaker cannot be annotated in Acrobat 
using the Strikethrough Text tool or the Insert Text at Cursor tool, 
and probably other tools as well. Because the text is a 
cross-reference, the user sees a hand cursor rather than a cross-hair 
or I-beam and is thus unable to annotate the text.

I've tried various combinations of holding the Control, Shift, and 
Alt keys down, but the hand cursor persists. Does anyone know a trick 
to force Acrobat to ignore the fact that text is a cross-reference 
and allow users to annotate the text?
