On Mon, 8 Nov 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to his 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 v2.0: - Bugfix: unwanted whitespace before comment commands [jk] -> added unskip This removes whitespace before comment commands and may change the reference point for hoffset -> added global option version (1|2(default)) version=1 will preserve the old behavior for old documents reported by: Stefan Pinnow - added local option disable to all comment commands [jk] to switch off single comments feature request by: Stefan Pinnow - changed definitions of options open and disable [jk] to choicekey* to check valid option values (true|false) feature request by: Jannis von Buttlar ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 .

CTAN: ftp://tug.ctan.org is back
by CTAN Announcements 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

The FTP download service at tug.ctan.org is back after an outage of a couple of days, caused by a security notice issued for the program that runs the downloads. Thanks to Rainer for the report and help with fixing the problem. Ordinary users are not directly affected by this outage and reset. (Except, those mirror sites that rely on FTP may take a day to sync their entire holdings to this site and so a user trying to get quite recent material at a mirror may see a day's delay.) I'll note that in the reconfiguration I've abandoned anonymous FTP uploads. Those days are gone. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College
