When I open this PDF in Reader 9.0, I cannot comment and in fact security explicitly says commenting is not allowed. Yet the title bar adds ''Secured'' but I am never asked for the password and the Comment toolbar will not appear even when ticked.
What must I do to enable commenting for the PDF reader?

Open it in Acrobat Pro and enable Reader commenting there. What you want
to do can't be done in InDesign despite that very confusing language as
far as the security settings go.

Since I only have Acrobat Standard, I'm assuming I'm out of luck.
Regardless, I say that ''very confusing language'' was not exactly right. It is just plain incorrect language if you can't do it from InDesign at all.
Not sure if standard can do it or not...check under the Comments menu
and look for enable commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader.

Nope. Nothing like that in the Standard one. Just commenting using Acrobat itself.
I really do think the IDCS4 security settings need a rewrite. There isn't a hint that anything extra is needed to allow commenting. Especially since it is lumped in with form filling which IS shown as allowed in Reader.
Which version of Acrobat Standard? Enabling commenting may have moved around a bit (and of course those of us with Acrobat 9 can't go back to look at earlier versions 'cause the ain't there no more). It would be worth exploring all the menus, if you haven't.
I agree with you, by the way, that the language can be confusing, and you are the second victim this week.

I have Acrobat 9 Standard. I've looked at all the Menus and I can't find anything like what was suggested. I can remove security from the pdf (InDesign forces you to use a password to ''enable'' commenting and forms filling). This just results in the word ''secured'' in the title bar being removed. Very useful indeed. (ahem).
