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.

Hi,
does anyone know how to enable the editing functionality in PDFs files?
Adobe Reader 8.x seems to be able to edit PDFs which have been marked as
such.
(Editting: Highlighting and adding comment boxes + saving the modified
files.
See: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/ -> e.g. Feature tour)
I actually failed to find a description for this in
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html
(It might be hidden in TABLE 3.20, p. 123. I'm not good at reading
standards and I'm sure Adobe won't make this feature too obvious.)
Tobias,
who finds Adobe Reader 8 a slow resource hog
