Subject: Re: Creating PDF files which are editable in Adobe Reader

Alas, as has already been said, the LiveCycle feature is proprietary
and not free. So you won't be able to use it from ConTeXt.

One alternative on Windows maybe Foxit PDF Reader which is available
for free, and can do some of what you want with low-cost add-ons.

The 'pro-pack' allows annotation:

And there is also a Foxit PDF editor as well, but that is more expensive.

You might also look at PDFill

http://www.pdfill.com/

Of course neither solutions is as convenient or as effective as being
able  to send annotatable and fill-able files to anyone with Adobe
Reader. But this software may still be of interest.
