CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

On Tue, 13 Mar 2012 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. 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 v2.3: - reimplemented pdfmarkupcomment by using soulpos.sty much better support of non standard text cases, like: wocolumn: feature request by: René Schwarz, Thomas Feller, Til Birnstiel setspace.sty: feature request by: Andrew Dawson enumerate, itemize, ... - added support for twocolumn mode in pdfsidelinecomment - added option local to pdfcommentsetup feature request by: Florent Chervet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/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 .

New CTAN Package: typeoutfileinfo
by CTAN Announcements 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

On Tue, 13 Mar 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the typeoutfileinfo package. Summary description: screen info display for single LaTeX source file License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `typeoutfileinfo.sh' is a shell script for Unices. It runs LaTeX on a here document that reads the file info using the readprov package and shows it by ypeout, that's it (hoping that the latex binary won't add a lengthy report of the run). Thus it aims to be a minimalistic alternative to the latexfileversion and ltxfileinfo packages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/typeoutfileinfo . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/typeoutfileinfo (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 .
