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.

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)
