fmbatch and fmprint are the utilities that ship with FM that would do this.
FMbatch would have to save as a .pdf; fmprint would print to a logical
printer instance of Acrobat Distiller. Details are in the manual and
on the Adobe support site.

The short answer is that unless you fix problems before you run the
scripts, they'll
fail. So you basically need to make sure the books are solid ahead of time.

More details, please.

In Acrobat 7, not FM, use the Enable Comment tool for people to use
Reader to add comments. In Acrobat 6, you can comment if you have the
full version of Acrobat, but cannot use Reader.
Again, details are in the Acrobat manual and on the support site.
