LyX does not insert any kind of restriction in the PDF. If you are not able to comment in the PDF, this is because your PDF reader/generator doesn't allow you to do so (Acrobat Reader?). About the file format, this doesn't really matter. If you are dealing with PS/PDF/whatever, the restriction resides with the software that is generating the comments, not with the file itself. Adobe Acrobat X (not Pro, the last free version) allows you to insert comments in the PDF. I just tested myself and I am able to insert comments on files generated by LyX (pdflatex) as well. So, if you're using it Adobe Acrobat, just check if you are using the last version, older versions doesn't allow you to insert comments without pay. Take care, --- Diego Queiroz
