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 v2.0:
  
- Bugfix: unwanted whitespace before comment commands [jk]
          -> added \unskip
		  This removes whitespace before comment commands
		  and may change the reference point for hoffset
		  -> added global option version (1|2(default)) 
		     version=1 will preserve the old behavior
			 for old documents

  reported by: Stefan Pinnow
			
- added local option disable to all comment commands [jk]
  to "switch off" single comments

  feature request by: Stefan Pinnow
			
- changed definitions of options open and disable [jk]
  to choicekey* to check valid option values (true|false)
