Commenting Ability:
Is commenting not a feature for dynamic forms? I have roughly 600 company forms, all needing to be save v8, dynamic (tables, scripts, expanding fields, etc.) Despite that I've enabled comments and rights in Pro, when opening the form in Reader, comments do not display.
Any way around this?

Here's the low down on working with LiveCycle Forms and commenting in Reader. None of which I think helps you.

You can print the form in Acrobat to the Adobe PDF Printer. Doing so looses the form fields but you can enable commenting and have the comment & markup tools appear in Reader.Enabling a Designer form in Acrobat for Commenting can't be done using the Comments menu command. You can enable a PDF with usage rights using the Advanced menu command that theoretically enables the file for both commenting and saving form data/adding digital signatures.

Problem is that when you enable the Designer form using Acrobat (using the latter method above), you won't get the comment tools appearing in Reader.

The author of numerous books on Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator and the Adobe Creative Suite, and an international speaker on Adobe Acrobat, Ted Padova is a well-known PDF guru.
