Description anieden 2007-02-01 15:24:12 UTC 
Hello, all!
PDF documents can be flagged such that Adobe Reader allows the user to comment
them. Writer seems to allow this flagging in its PDF export options, but only
when I assign a password. I would like to be able to assign the comment right
without using a password. But maybe there is a rationale behind the way it is
handled now?
Kind regards,    Axel Niedenhoff   <><

Confirming behavior with OO 2.1 on WinXP. 

There is specification for PDF security
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12626 ,but it does not 
specifically detail the reasons.
Hopefully developers will step in and elaborate.

anieden,
can't you comment .pdf saved without password?
Comment 3 anieden 2007-02-02 07:56:28 UTC 
No, unfortunateley not. I will attach the resulting PDF where I have not set a
password. When exporting, the corresponding radio button for commenting was
enabled, but greyed out. When you now open the PDF and look at the security
properties (I hope that that is the correct English equivalent for the German
»Sicherheitseigenschaften«), you will see that it shows commenting as not allowed.
