Sorry if I've totally missed the issue here... IIRC, you said that the free version of acroread allowed adding comments. If that's the case, why can't the main author export his document as PDF, and let the reviewers add their comments using acroread (or an alternative tool if one exists). >From that, I assume you'd like a tool that can *impor* the comments back from the PDF into the LyX file? (Or am I missing something here?) Primarily, I don't understand why you're aiming for PS instead of PDF, (in my experience professors aren't too keen on installing programs, not even ghostscript). cheers /Christian PS. Maybe this discussion belongs to the user's list? It'll definitely get a wider audience there, and lots of people must encounter this problem all the time there. -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
