Lock comments so that they cant be edited?

How do I lock comments on Acrobat Reader so that they can't be edited by a person other than the person creating the comment?

Do you have Acrobat? If so, add a Digital Signature field. When it is signed it will lock the contents of the file and prevent further editing.

Thank you. What about if I want them to be able to add new comments but not change mine. Is there a way to do that?

You may try this.

Once you are done commenting a file, you may use locked option under properties of those comments.

To do that go to comments pane right click on the comment> Properties > Appearance and choose locked.

Let us know if that helps.
