Does anybody > already did some script like that? I am still not sure, what do you mean by annotation (I don't know Acrobat Reader). Nevertheless, PDF format supports Annotation as ( from the PDFreference, Chapter 8.4 Annotations: An annotation associates an object such as a note, sound, or movie with a location on a page of a PDF document, or provides a way to interact with the user by means of the mouse and keyboard. PDF includes a wide variety of standard annotation types, described in detail in Section 8.4.5, Annotation Types. Many of the standard annotation types may be displayed in either the open or the closed state. When closed, they appear on the page in some distinctive form, such as an icon, a box, or a rubber stamp, depending on the specific annotation type. ... ) If you are thinking of this type of annotation, then unfortunately there is only very basic functionality, which is not visible to the users.
