For a long time pdflatex has offered the command \pdfannot for inserting
arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in
a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is
indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions
in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe
Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a
convenient and user-friendly means of using \pdfannot to provide comments
in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports:

       LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX.

Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to
nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is
Adobe Reader.

Changes in v2.2:

- added \pdftooltip which allows annotating objects with tooltips
  
- allow setting of disable globally
    \pdfcommentsetup{disable} + \pdfcomment[disable=false]{comment}
    => will enable this single PDF annotation

- added option printSOfinal
    printSOfinal=false will not typeset the markup text in a StrikeOut annotation
    if the option final or disable is used!

  feature request by: Marcel Dausend

- revised documentation
    added information about escape commands in \pdfstringdef
    used for conversion of comments to PDFDocEncoding/PDFUnicode
