As the matrix says, "When enabled by Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended." IOW:
1) On your PC (not terminal; that's so 80s), open the PDF in Acro Pro.
2) Select Comments > Enable for Commenting and Analysis in Adobe Reader.
3) Save the comment-enabled version of the file. (Note: Some regular features -- insert/extract pages, etc. -- are no longer available when you comment-enable a PDF. If that matters, save under a new name.)
There are a number of other, more "managed" ways to do reviews. In the Acrobat Help, see the topics under Collaboration.
