  curiously, i found that sun pdf extension and popped into OO to add
it, but noticed there was already a (generic) PDF extension there.  is
there a significant difference?

I am not completely sure
Perhaps Okular can add annotation, but I don't know if it is the same
as a pdf annotation or if the other person needs to have also Okular:
http://okular.kde.org/faq.php#HowcanIannotateadocumentandsendittoafriendcollegueetc

Also pdfedit has a function:
createAnnotation([ 444.897, 476.853, 548.9522, 486.988 ], 'Widget');
I've tried several times and I was not able to add any annotations with it.

pdf editor to simply insert notes?

2009-11-23 Thread Robert P. J. Day

  a colleague has a sizable book whose source is in docbook format,
and i want to mark it up with notes all over the place.  with an odt
or doc file, i would of course just open it in oowriter and insert
notes at will.

  with docbook, though, he's going to send me the PDF format of the
book, but i still don't know of a tool that will let me insert notes.
i have no need for general editing, just notes.  thoughts?

You may want to look at xournal as well. At least I believe that is the
name. It will be close if it isn't. One of the things it specifically
does is annotate pdf files.

  just downloaded it, it might be adequate for what i'm after, but i'm
still hoping for true insert note functionality.  i suspect i'm not
going to find that.

If you do, let me know. I'm interested in the same functionality.
