Reader 9 for Mac "Enable Reader Usage Rights"

[nook_shapoopi@adobeforums.com]

how is this done for mac's in 9? all of the forums say go to the advanced tab and then just enable them there... there is no advanced drop down menu? I need to add in comments and such but can't do that until i have Enabled Reader Usage Rights, please help!

This is a menu in Acrobat Pro, NOT in Adobe Reader!

so can i not make annotations if i just have the free version? because i cannot enable my reader usage rights?

That is correct.

Yes, you must BUY something. The Reader is a READER unless it's been enabled from a full copy of Acrobat Pro.

That's correct, unless someone has enabled the usage rights for you/

>because i cannot enable my reader usage rights?

Yes. The idea is to sell more copies of Acrobat, one way or another.

Why don't free Adobe Reader say this clearly at least in the help. I would have bought the pro-version. But now I found skim, which works even better than reader and have just had reader removed.
