Commentable PDF discrepancies - Mac/PC

I'm creating pdf files for review on a PC (Win XP SP2, Acrobat Pro 7, from InDesign CS2), enabling the commenting feature, and sending them out to an editor with a Mac.

Somewhere between me sending the file and him receiving it (using, I believe, an up to date version of Reader) the document is not commentable. We've both opened the document properties to check this out, and the file I have reads Commenting: Allowed; whereas the file that he has reads Commenting: Not Allowed.

Has this been encountered before, and - if so - is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Dave

What version of Reader are they using?

I don't remember exactly, but I think you need to enable extended 
privileges in Reader which first became available in Acrobat 8.

You can enable the PDF in 7 Pro (it's available under Comments) but they need to have Reader 7 or better to use it.
