If you're referring to use of Adobe Reader "commenting" function,  
this is only available when the feature has been specifically  
enabled, using an Adobe tool to create the document. It involves some  
kind of proprietary extension in the PDF file.

I don't know the details, but this is a fairly common question  
(search online for more info). AFAIK, no non-Adobe tools can  
currently create commentable PDFs.
