CTAN Update: pdfcomment

Date: November 10, 2010 1:25:24 PM CET
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

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

pdfcomment – A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations

For a long time pdf 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 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 → dvips → ps2pdf, → dvipdfmx, XeLaTeX and Lua.

Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers may vary. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader.
