Unfortunately, no, that would simply not be possible for, as you can
see in this link, we have thousands upon thousands of such PDFs already
on the internet. For us to replace these existing materials with new
documents containing alerts and warnings would require a number of
years of labor and cost literally millions of dollars:

Unfortunately, this PostScript solution gobbles up notes and footnotes
and references, suppressing them from the documents. Only Save as PDF
preserves the whole document with its authentications and scholarly
references. Imagine how unscholarly the following document would seem,
if we were to use Print to PDF and the PostScript engine were to
suppress, as it would, the following scholarly reminder:
DISAMBIGUATION: Harris of Cleveland, associated with John Brown, was a
different person from this James Henry Harris of Chatham and North
Carolina associated with John Brown. Yet a 3d James H. Harris, with no
known connection to John Brown, would be in a different black regiment
in the Civil War and would belatedly be awarded the Medal of Honor.
