Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
pdfcomment
package.
Version number: 2.3b License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations
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, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers may vary. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader.
