Gary is correct on this point.
As for doing that, Gary states elsewhere that it's a quick and easy
process for anyone who has Acrobat Pro. That is also correct.
I would put this in the bucket of "if Gary (or some other member of the
team who already has Acrobat Pro) wants to do this step for each of our
PDFs, then let them do it" -- except for the following reservations:
* If someone starts doing this, users will have an expectation that all
the LO user guide PDFs will have this functionality.
* If only 1 or 2 people are doing this, it puts them on the critical
path for publishing PDFs that meet the expectations mentioned above and
could cause a bottleneck, especially if the person were unavailable for
any reason.
BTW, I have Acrobat Pro, but I am not offering to do what Gary suggests
because it is on a (Windows) machine that I rarely turn on, so setting
the Review and Comment switch on a PDF is a much more time-consuming
effort which I might do only once a week, if that often.

The number of PDFs in LO's library is very finite; plus, very few new
PDFs are generated on a consistent basis. Converting them all could
effortlessly be done in very short order.
Another thing that is really needed is accurate, well-written exposition
for performing any Review and Comment (in this case, although that could
also be done in other places), in addition to any other items that were
not adequately covered (or, possibly covered in error...) in the
existing user guides, to date.
For instance, I was redoing bits of the LO template. I altered the very
first point--missing, in that case: for users of the templates to see to
it that they already have the needed typeface (Liberation) installed so
that its fonts are already installed before authoring or editing
anything, lest the operating system might substitute another font for
any missing font--thus altering the format in a manner that could be
very difficult to detect. That point should have been made clear
earlier, so I rewrote that part.
There are some other items that need redoing in the template. I will
post what I have redone so far, so anybody could comment on my changes,
make their own changes, among others.
