I looked in my Acrobat Standard 7.0 for such an enabling feature
and didn't find it. Here is what the Adobe Reader FAQ says about
the subject.
Q. Can I add comments to a PDF file with Adobe Reader?
A. PDF authors using Adobe LiveCycle enterprise server and design
software can activate special features in their documents that
provide additional functionality. These enabled Adobe PDF files
allow people with Adobe Reader to save the file to a local hard
drive, fill out forms, add comments and other markups, share it
with others, and submit a completed document electronically. In
addition, Adobe PDF files can be enabled to allow people to
digitally sign, certify, and authenticate a document.
