NOTE: this package was submitted some days ago. while there is no doubt of its quality, the ctan team were uneasy about its name; we therefore delayed installation while we tried to think of an alternative ... and we failed, so i have now installed.

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

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 . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
