saving annotations from reader

Hi

I have a livecycle server which i am using to assign reader extension commenting rights to pdf documents.

I have an application which is embedding Reader within a window, to view and edit those pdfs. The application uses a Reader plugin to control commenting/saving etc.

Using my application:-

If i load a pdf with commenting rights, i can add comments, but i cannot save (export) the comments as an fdf file.

if i load a pdf with commenting+online rights, I can add comments but cannot save an fdf file

if i load a pdf with commenting+form export, I can comment AND save the fdf file.

Using Reader as the application, i can load any of the pdfs and comment and export the fdf data (Document>Comments>Export to data file).

I have 3 questions :-

1) what is the difference between commenting and commenting+online rights?

2) if i select "import/export form data" in liveccyle, the PDPerms in the resulting pdf file say that form

export=NO, import=YES, but I can save my fdf anyway.   Is this expected?

3) if the form import/export rights are not assigned, why is that Reader (as the application) can export the form data?

Thanks in advance for your help.
