Hello. I want to create PDFs using OpenOffice where the text can be highlighted in Adobe Reader. The generated PDFs can be highlighted without a problem in PDF-XChange Viewer and it also claims that the PDFs security settings allow for doing that. But when I use Adobe Reader 9, it says that commenting were disallowed and does not give me access to the highlighting tool. Here is a sample PDF created with OpenOffice 3: <http://altglass.al.funpic.de/sample.pdf> So does PDF-XChange Viewer lie about the PDFs security settings and circumvent them, does the PDF actually allow commenting but Adobe Reader doesn't recognize it or do I have to use Adobe software to create commentable/highlightable PDFs?
