Dov, i understand the need to protect a secure document. But i thought the purpose of your software acrobat is to allow users to add comments to a secure original, and yes, even modify it as long as the modifications are traceable/overlays preserving the original. I have users who have been able to add comments to secure documents who now cannot do that with the latest windows/adobe acrobat IF the document is a secure document. I also believe it us misleading to use a dialogue saying there is a "password" when nobody ever made a password when creating this document. As you are well aware there is SECURED document which is locked for editing. I have users who can glimps the document they want to comment in, but cant comment on it due to a dialogue asking for a password. They are now asking me "why did you put a password on it, and what is the password"? So what password could it be that works in your application since i didnt make one? Is it my windows logon? Or is that dialogue box just wrong? Should it have said "this is a secure document, you cannot comment it". What am i to say to dozens of users when you are telling them on here that i created a password on those pdfs when i did not?
