How you "allow by program for this purpose?

I saw 1 million forum posts where people want to activate programming their PDF files for comments, and the answer is: use LiveCycle.  We plan to buy LiveCycle for our server JUST for this purpose, because it doesn't seem to be another way to do it.  Before we do that, I want to know how it would work.  Since I did not livecylce, I can't very well search and understand it, and I don't see any free downloads of the trial.  Can someone explain how would you do this task?  On the other hand, is not the pdf document open standard?  Is it possible to change the pdf file "under the hood" to allow him to comment, without assistance from the Acrobat menu item?

TO apply rights uage to a document PDF programmatically, see named apply the usage rights to PDF Documents located at the following ADDRESS:

http://livedocs.Adobe.com/LiveCycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/000411.html

It will explain what to do and will lead you to the following Java code example:

/*

* This Java Quick Start uses the following JAR files

* 1. adobe-reader-extensions-client.jar

* 2. adobe-livecycle-client.jar

* 3. adobe-usermanager-client.jar

* 4. adobe-utilities.jar

* 5. jbossall-client.jar (use a different JAR file if LiveCycle ES is notdeployed

* on JBoss)

*

* These JAR files are located in the following path:

* /Adobe/LiveCycle8/LiveCycle_ES_SDK/client-libs

*

* For complete details about the location of these JAR files,

* see "Including LiveCycle ES library files" in Programming

* with LiveCycle ES
