Worked for me. Thanks.
The only trouble is that the rights are enabled only until the file is
saved after editing. Then it reverts to uneditable. Any ideas of what
to do without re-enabling rights each time someone wants to make
changes?
If they're tied to MS Office I would guess they're using the Windows version
in a Windows OS. In that case, you might try making them use PDF-XChange
Viewer: http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/PDF-XChange_Tools/pdfx_viewer
(it's what I use with vanilla pdflatex-generated documents).
The free version allows you to annotate PDF files (locking is *optional*,
by default disabled). However, after saving a PDF file with unlocked comments
from PDF-XChange Viewer, Adobe Reader 8 Windows displays them as locked (and
also reports it doesn't have permissions for assembly, signing, and creation
of templates... strangely). But if you stick to that viewer to make changes,
commenting should work smoothly.
