I can confirm that Acrobat Reader does this in the latest version(s) 10.0.3.
This must be a problem from them, as there should be no permission problem with
the PDF I tested (there wasn't any permission restriction set whatsoever, the
message is lying). So they must just blankly refuse reading FDF files with
Acrobat Reader, I think they want to sell more Acrobat Pro. We cannot help
that. This means that your only options are using Acrobat Pro or saving with
embedded notes (File > Export.., or using the skimpdf tool).
