CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

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 v2.3a: - Bugfix: problem with boxes around tooltips [jk] spurious backslash in /Ff/65536space% in line 2967, see: https://bitbucket.org/kleberj/pdfcomment/issue/8/pdftooltip-tooltip-area-is… http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34698/strange-appearance-of-tooltips… reported by: diabonas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .
