On Tue, 13 Mar 2012 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 v2.3:

\twocolumn: feature request by: René Schwarz, Thomas Feller, Til Birnstiel

enumerate, itemize, ...
- added support for twocolumn mode in \pdfsidelinecomment
