Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
pdfcomment
package.
Version number: 2.4
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations
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, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers may vary.
The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader.
Changes in v2.4:
* compatibility fix for luatex v0.85+
* upgraded obsolete datetime to datetime2
* Bugfix: incorrect positions of PDF text annotations with dvips
