Commenting on LaTeX PDF documents with PDF reader

Im currently writing my bachelor thesis with latex and using TexnicCenter. I want to be able to send my generated pdf file to people and they should be able to write comments. It seems like commenting is not allowed by default, how do I change this?

I am using straight to PDF with pdflatex and acrobat reader 9 to read and comment on the files

How do you comment out on a PDF in LaTeX?

Tip of the Week: Add inline or margin comments to your PDF In LaTeX, you can use the % (percent sign) to comment out a line of text in your source code. If you'd like to include comments that appear in the PDF of your project, you can use the todonotes package.

How do I comment on a PDF slide?

On your computer, open a document, spreadsheet, or presentation. Highlight the text, images, cells, or slides you want to comment on. Type your comment. Click Comment.

I think your problem is that acrobat reader doesn't allow commenting on documents not produced by abode approved products, which I don't think pdflatex would be.

You should look at the free PDF-XChange Viewer which allows you to comment and annotate the text. Its a portable windows app (download), so doesn't need to be installed on your (or the reviewers) machines.
