README

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 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.

License: LPPL

Changes in v2.4a:

  • fix issue #22: fix "Wrong driver 'hpdftex.def'" warning when using lualatex

Download the contents of this package in one zip archive (1.3M).
