I noticed that in Acrobat 6.0 (possibly earlier versions, but I only have 6.0) that you can add something called a "note" (looks like a yellow thought bubble).
Commenting and Annotating (same thing) have been in Acrobat since version 4, though only with 5 & 6 have Adobe really pushed it as a feature. The Note is just one of about 10 different types of annotations/comments that you can apply to a PDF.
I looked through the itext api, but all I could find was something called an "annotation". These seem to do very similar things. In fact they seem almost identical, except that the icon for an annotation is a little white tab, whereas the icon for a note is the yellow bubble.
The icon displayed in the PDF is actually user-selectable. If you right/control-click on ANY comment/note/annotation and then choose "Properties" you can then pick from a selection of icons to use.
I believe that iText uses one that simulate the "default" Acrobat value - but you can actually use ANY graphic...
Also, I noticed that you can't actually create a annotation with Acrobat 6.0.
Sure you can! There is a nice big button called "Commenting" in your Acrobat toolbar - at least in Standard and Professional. (not in Reader...)
