CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

On Thu, 5 Nov 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v1.5a: - added options liststyle and heading to command listofpdfcomments -> setliststyle, defineliststyle - added checks for undefined avatars, styles and liststyles ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pdfcomment (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
