Why is there a mismatch of permissions between 'Document Security' and
Document Restrictions Summary'?

I have a pdf file generated with the following security options
enabled -- Printing, Commenting (Annotations), fill-in, Content
Modification, Assembly. Even though these options show up as enabled
in 'Document Security' section of Security tab in Properties (File-
>Properties->Security->Document Security), they are different to the
ones in 'Document Restriction Summary'.

This results in the inability to use highlighting/commenting tools of
Adobe Acrobat Reader (ver. 7 and .

The pdf file is generated using Open Office 3.0 Writer from a file in
a .doc (word) format. I have also tried using tools like 'pdftk' with
same results.

According to my interpretation, the 'Document Restrictions Summary'
should be in tandem with the 'Document Security'. Am I missing
something obvious here? Could anyone kindly clarify how to enable the
commenting feature and use it within Acrobat Reader (the free tool)?

Needless to say this will be environment friendly option, which Adobe
has been a strong advocate of.
