I create the wireframes and mockups (depending on what is needed) directly within Canvas on the appropriate "page" of the document. Annotations and notes go to the right of the wireframes. Common elements go on layers on the Master Page for the document (and Master Page layers get turned on and off for individual pages as needed).
I use the tabloid page size (11" x 17") so that I can draw the wireframes at 100% scale with plenty of room for the notes an annotation. The printer/copier combos that we have at work have tabloid paper loaded, and Acrobat Reader will scale the document when printing if the user prints on Letter sized paper (the text is still readable). On screen viewing can be at a reduced scale or 100% scale (so the wireframes look the same size as they should appear when implemented). I also add hyperlnked areas (graphic elements and text) to the wireframes for buttons and such so that when I save as a PDF, the document supports what I call "limited clickable navigation" which can give a reader a limited feel of what going through the mockup and clicking on buttons, menus, tabs, and such would feel like.
