Date: June 17, 2016 8:13:13 AM CEST
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
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfcomment We are supported by the TeX users groups. Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Erik Braun

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.
