CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

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 . 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 .

There are no functional changes. This includes bibtex.web, plain.bst, btxdoc.tex, and so on.

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: purifyeps Version number: 1.1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/purifyeps Summary description: Make EPS work with both LaTeX/dvips and pdfLaTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world. purifyeps converts EPS files into a purified form that can be read by *both* LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX. The trick is that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse MetaPost-produced EPS directly. Hence, purifyeps need only convert an arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that MetaPost outputs. Version 1.1 includes two helpful changes. First, in response to a discussion on the tex-live mailing list, the program now issues a more user-friendly error message if pstoedit (a support tool required by purifyeps) is not found on the search path. Second, purifyeps incorporates a patch provided by Markus Kohm to search for pstoedit's mpost.fmp file in a standard set of directories. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/purifyeps .
