When I create a PDF in Acrobat Professional 9 with no security, the document restrictions summary shows comments as allowed and I can add comments in Acrobat Professional, but when the same document is opened in Adobe Reader 7, 8 or 9, the document restrictions summary show comments are not allowed and comments cannot be added.
When I add password security to a document allowing comments, the document properties in Acrobat Prof 9 shows comments are allowed and I can add comments. When the same document is opened in Adobe Reader 7,8 or 9, the document restrictions summary show comments are not allowed and commenting is disabled.
Has anyone come across this issue?

You have to "enable" commenting for Reader in Acrobat first.

It's nothing to do with security. Look under the "comments" menu.
