Re: Brian's comment about Adobe Reader in Linux: "All you do by changing to Linux is to prevent yourself using Adobe Reader, which is not available for that system."
While Adobe Reader is no longer "officially" supported in Linux, it does indeed still run on at least the Debian flavors of Linux. For a short while after Adobe dropped official Linux installs, this was difficult to do, and so I used Okular for a bit but, adequate as that is, it isn't nearly as clean, smooth, slick or whatever as Acroread/Adobe Reader. There is currently a .deb package for Reader version IX available that is fairly painless to install (AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb), and doesn't require Wine or any VM. It is only 32 bit, but I can confirm that it runs nicely on 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04. Since I only regularly use a subset of its features, I can't confirm that "everything" works, but I haven't yet run across anything that doesn't work. Just for grins, I opened a Writer file, exported it as a pdf and Acroread displayed the document (I have automatic display after export checked in Writer). With both LO and Acroread still active, I edited the Writer document, and exported to pdf again. When I switched over to the Acroread display, the new lines I added were displayed. Since I don't use the commenting tools, I didn't confirm that those work, however. I regularly export to pdf in order to print double-sided documents that, as you're probably aware, Writer hasn't handled well at all for several versions so, as a result, I use Acroread on a fairly regular basis out of necessity. To quote my favorite LO commentator, "I hope this helps."
