I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But it really is silly. Not from the Adobe's perspective -- they're making plenty of money by monopolising the standard and producing the tools for that. Yes, of course. I'm not quite clear as to whether you can use the ordinary Adobe Reader to produce the comments though. Yes, you can, and even on Linux. Lots of publishers are making use of this facility now. So the only thing one needs---not that it wouldn't be nice to have a free viewer that did the same thing---is a way to enable the facility for PDFs one produces using free software. The AREnable program that has been mentioned looks as if it will do this, but it runs only on Windows. Maybe it could be adapted to Linux. But it's written in VB.NET and uses the PDFSharp library, which is also a Windows phenomenon. But is it possible these would run under Mono?

Re: Another pdf question
Maybe this would help: AREnable (http://sourceforge.net/projects/arenable/). To my knowledge, the way it works is that you would compile your file as PDF (in LyX) and then run AREnable on the PDF file to allow Acrobat Reader to add notes, comments etc. I never used it, but it might work.

Re: Another pdf question
Comments in PDF seem to be something that's only available using the official Adobe toolchain, e.g. this comment in the discussions to a recent (end of 2006) survey of PDF applications on GNU/Linux seems to sum up the situation: http://applications.linux.com/comments.pl?sid=37658op=threshold=0commentsort=0mode=threadtid=47pid=93375#93389 It should be that with the fight over standard specifications for government documents heating up across the world Adobe will help make comments createable on GNU/Linux http://redmonk.com/sogrady/2007/01/30/iso_pdf/ For now, it seems that practically it's a very restricted format for sharing documents.
