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.

In such circumstances I've resorted to the pen tool, and ringed the offending item. Such annotations can still carry a text field.
