Hello! Thanx everyone for this lots of answers. Maybe Mike's reply could be a trace to follow; i'll try it. Unfortunately Adobe doesn't allow me to have a look at the linked page. About the other suggestions:
">the easiest way we can help here is to suggest you send back and forth >the Scribus file, to which PDF annotations can be added. >Greg" -> Well, would be, and you wouldn't have to make around with a PDF anyway. But I can't commit my co-workers to learn how to use Scribus. And I don't want anyone of them to fool around in the .sla. ">PDF::API2::Annotation, 2.001. >Have you checked this perl module? It should be easy-to-use, if you are >reasonably familiar with perl and pdf. >From the POD: >$ant->text $text, %opts > Defines the annotation as textnote with content $text and options >%opts (-rect and/or -open)." -> Sorry, we are social activists, using computers for communication and production. We have yet much to do tryin to use the progs, complying with a minimum of security against data loss and misuse. No one knows nothing about programming, as far as I know. "> > I think annotation support was added to KPdf for KDE 4. That might be a > pretty big thing to get installed just for PDF annotations, though. " -> I don't think I can get them to use a new OS, just to send me some notes. (Even if there are lots of reasons to change to Linux, and I know they are.) > Can you do it with Gimp? > >Well, you could convert it to a pixel graphic and write some text on it >with any application, but that's not what I want - I want PDF comments. > >Philipp -> True, but imagine 16-24 pages as pixel graphics. I think, that would smash lots of inboxes. Thanks anyway to everyone. Maybe some day a prog like PDFCreator will be able to do something like this... flacote _________________ Mike Seifried schrieb: > It appears that your can add comments to a document using Adobe reader > if commenting is enabled in the document.
