On Sun, 12 Dec 2010 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 v2.1:
- added support for PDF reply system
pdfcomment[avatar=Joe,id=1]{comment}
pdfreply[avatar=Bob,id=2,replyto=1]{reply to comment}
works for pdflatex only!
- added options id,date,timezone
- added support for new icon CrossHairs (Adobe Reader X)
- Bugfix: problem with pdfmarkupcomment with page break
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is located at
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment
