You need not do anything for Commenting and Analysis as long as you are
employing Acrobat Pro--any version going back to either 6 or 7.
However, in order to enable a vanilla PDF for other users employing
Adobe Reader, open the desired PDF and go to the Comments menu (Comments
> Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader--its new
nomenclature). You will be prompted to overwrite the PDF or to employ
Save as for creating a new PDF. That is all that is needed to convert
the PDFs...
BTW, you too can easily convert the LO PDFs. So, now there are at least
three of us who can. There are probably lots of others, too.

Hi
I used LibO 3.3 to produce a PDF file on windows 7. Opening the PDF
using Acrobat X on windows 7 and you are able to use both highlights
and comments. The review parts also seem enabled.
Highlights and comments definitely save. It maybe that this is
possible already without Acrobat Pro.

Having the Review and Comment functionality on a PDF (to be done with

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.
