any help would be appreciated,

Western. I answered you elsewhere as well.
You won't have those tools in the free Reader application unless the file has been specially enabled using Acrobat.

I have Adobe Professional 7, and I also use AutoCAD R2010. When I create PDFs in either system, others have always been able to markup and add comments to them. Now that they are using Adobe Reader 9, they can no longer make comments or markups. The Tried opening the same document up in both an order reader and a the new Adobe 9 reader. It seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader 9. For some reason it is setting these PDFs I created using the order system as commenting not allowed. It been allowed when i created it, and it been allowed under the older versions. Is there a fix for this, or am I going to have to tell everyone I work with to unstall the Adobe Reader 9?

I ahve enabled commenting. There is no commenting in reader option in my version of Acrobat. PDFs that I create, a person is able to comment on in older versions of the Adobe Reader. This seems to be an issue with Adobe Reader 9.

The default for the Commenting toolbar is set to ‘off’ in version 9. To change this setting select ‘Edit | Preferences’, then ‘Documents’ (at left under ‘Categories’), then select the option ‘Never’ for ‘PDF/A View Mode’

I think there is something more going on here.
I'm having the same sort of problem.
A pdf file was sent from the creator/author to someone else.
They (the receiver) made comments and sent it to me.
But I can't comment (comments not allowed)
Now how does that happen?
I using Reader 9. I think the first receiver was using Acrobat.
The orignal creator probably Reader 9.

No, Adobe Reader can't create PDF documents.

(Yes, what I assuming that security properties could have been orginally set in Reader 9 by the originator, on pdf with no security; but of course this can't be done.)
Nevertheless I think I have it figured out...
1) the app by default generates pdfs with
"no security"
"comments: not allowed"
(e.g., these are the MS Word defaults)
2) "no security" means Acrobat can add comments
3) "comments: not allowed" means Reader can't.
Is that is?
I know, rtfm. I have no doubt it is behaving as documented.

Hi there, I've been trying to add the comment and markup toolbar in acrobat reader 9 but I simply cant do it. I've tried both the tools and view menus but i cannot add this particular toolbar. Does anyone know the reason? What can i do to get this toolbar? Even when in a pdf document commenting is not allowed, shouldnt I be able at least to see the toolbar unavailable?
Many thanks
Enrique

No, the toolbar only becomes visible when the file is enabled for commenting.
