CTAN Update: pdfcomment

[CTAN Announcements]

On Tue, 16 Mar 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the

  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 v1.5d:
  
- Bugfix: faulty expansion broke hyperref's auto corrected
conversions
          of LaTeX commands like \$ or \textCR to
PDFDocEncoding or
          PDFUnicode in comments
