Can SDK enable commenting rights to a PDF?

Hi folks,

Wondering if the Acrobat SDK can enable commenting rights
to a PDF file to allow a user opening the file from Acrobat
Reader to be able to comment and mark up the file?

I am not looking to edit the file with Reader but instead
only to mark it up and provide comments.

Thanks,
Glenn

No, no API to this in Acrobat. You would need LiveCycle Reader
Extensions.

Thanks for your post.

Yes, it seems that LiveCycle Reader Extensions is needed. It would be nice if Adobe could get back to me with some pricing on this product. I suppose one solution would be to require users to install Acrobat Standard on their machine which would allows them to mark-up and add comments to PDF documents.
