If you own Acrobat Professional you can activate the mark up tools enabling them to work in the free Acrobat viewer, but there are lots of other programs that will allow marking up PDFs. Although our books were written in Word, the publisher sent the proofs back to us to check (after they had edited them and messed up several bits) as PDFs, and we were expected to mark up the PDFs to send back to them for them to make the corrections. This was because by this time they had converted the Word files into their DTP program and the problem was now reversed ie we didn't have the DTP program to allow us to edit their chosen file format.
