CTAN update: pdfcomment

[CTAN Announcements]

Josef Kleber submitted an update to the

                 pdfcomment

package.

Version number: 2.3b
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.
