Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/combinedgraphics
Summary description: macro for inclusion of combined EPS/LaTeX and PDF/LaTeX graphics
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides a macro (|includecombinedgraphics|) for the
inclusion of combined EPS/LaTeX and PDF/LaTeX graphics (an export
format of Gnuplot, Xfig, and maybe other programs). Instead of including
the graphics with a simple |input|, the |includecombinedgraphics| macro
has some comforts:
* changing the font and color of the text of the LaTeX part
* rescaling the graphics without affecting the font of the
LaTeX part
* automatic inclusion of the vector graphics part, as far as LaTeX
part does not do it (e.g., for files exported from Gnuplot before
version 4.2)
* rescaling and rotating of complete graphics (similar to
|includegraphics| from graphicx package)
See `combinedgraphics.pdf' for detailed information on usage.

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.

- new command listofpdfcomments
