You can add normal comments as well as margin comments, underlining etc.. You can also define a special layout for a comment which you can use several times in the document. This document is only a excerpt of the documentation of \series bold pdfcomment \series default ; see its documentation for all information: \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Flex URL status open \begin_layout Plain Layout http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment/doc/pdfcomment.pdf \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section The different comment types \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The different comment types are inserted using the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator Custom \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Insets \family default . You can select one of the following: \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Annotation \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This is the standard PDF comment. Here is an example: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Annotation status open \begin_layout Plain Layout This is a simple PDF-Annotation. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Like for all PDF comment types you can add a lot of things to the option of the inset. To insert the options inset, set the cursor into the comment inset and use the menu \family sans Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator PDF Comment Options \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series default All braces and brackets in comment options must be inserted as TeX-code! \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is an example PDF-Annotation where the author is set to \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Daisy Duck \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset : \begin_inset Flex PDF-Annotation status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout author= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset Daisy Duck \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset ,color= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset 0.234 0.867 0.211 \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset ,voffset=8pt,opacity=0.5 \end_layout \end_inset This is an annotation with a complex option. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To avoid to write the same options like the author again and again, you can define a so-called \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset avatar \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset for every person and/or comment layout. See \begin_inset CommandInset ref LatexCommand ref reference "sec:Avatars" \end_inset for further information. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For a full list of possible options, please look at the \series bold pdfcomment \series default documentation. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Circle \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This will typeset a comment in form of a circle or ellipse. Here is an example without any options: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Circle status open \begin_layout Plain Layout a simple circle comment \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard At the right side you see a large, elliptical comment as example of a PDF-Circle with options. \begin_inset Flex PDF-Circle status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout id=1,color=blue,height=2.5cm,width=5.8cm,voffset=-2.8cm,hoffset=8cm,opacity=1.0,just ification=right,icolor= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset yellow \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset ,linewidth=12pt,borderstyle=dashed,dashstyle= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset 10 5 \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset a circle comment in form of a large ellipse \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Freetext \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This will typeset a comment in form of a freely positioned box. By using the option \series bold type=callout \series default the box will have an additional so called callout line, to bind the box to a certain element of the page. With the option \series bold type=typewriter \series default you can write a comment everywhere on the page with a virtual ’typewriter’. These PDF-Freetext annotations do have no frame and a transparent background for ’overwriting’ arbitrary parts of the page. Here is an example in form of a blue rectangle: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Freetext status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout height=3cm,type=freetext,subject={freetext},width=4.5cm,voffset=-3.2cm,hoffset=-3.2 cm,opacity=0.9,justification=right \end_layout \end_inset This is also a comment, but it is a PDF-Freetext annotation. \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Line \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This will typeset a comment in form of a line, polyline or polygon. Here is an example without any options: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Line status open \begin_layout Plain Layout a simple PDF-Line comment \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As you can see a PDF-Line comment without options is useless. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The green arrow at the left side of this page is an example for a PDF-Line comment with options. \begin_inset Flex PDF-Line status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout type=line,opacity=1,line= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset 50 480 50 180 \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset ,color=green,icolor=blue,caption=top,linebegin= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset /ROpenArrow \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset ,lineend= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset /OpenArrow \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset ,linewidth=2bp,captionhoffset=-5pt,captionvoffset=15pt \end_layout \end_inset a PDF-Line comment with options \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Margin \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This will typeset an annotation into the margin. Right beside this text is an example without options: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Margin status open \begin_layout Plain Layout a simple PDF-Margin comment \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The red margin note is an example for a PDF-Margin command with options. \begin_inset Flex PDF-Margin status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout icon=Note,color=red,open=true,hspace=100pt \end_layout \end_inset a PDF-Margin comment with options \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Markup \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This will typeset so called PDF text markup annotations over some text or math. Here is a markup without options: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Markup status open \begin_layout Plain Layout simple PDF-Markup \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Possible types for the option \series bold markup \series default are: \end_layout \begin_layout Description Highlight The markup text will be highlighted: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Markup status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout id=1,markup=Highlight \end_layout \end_inset Highlight PDF-Markup \begin_inset Argument post:1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout a comment \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Note Note status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout see the next section for the description of the option \series bold id=1 \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description Underline The markup text will be underlined: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Markup status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout markup=Underline \end_layout \end_inset Underlining PDF-Markup \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description Squiggly The markup text will be underlined with a wave: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Markup status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout markup=Squiggly \end_layout \end_inset Underwave PDF-Markup \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Description StrikeOut The markup text will be struck-out: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Markup status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout markup=StrikeOut \end_layout \end_inset Striked-out PDF-Markup \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The text for the comment is inserted with the inset option \family sans Comment \family default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard PDF-Markup has some limitations: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize it is only suitable for text or inline math! \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize the markup text must not be longer than one paragraph \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize the markup annotation must not be longer than one page, otherwise the recognitio n of the page break will fail \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize when using XeTeX you have to assure that the page dimensions are internally output, e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g. \begin_inset space \space{} \end_inset with the document class option \series bold pagesize \series default for the KOMA-Script classes, or the option \series bold pagesize \series default for the LaTeX-package \series bold typearea \series default . \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Reply \end_layout \begin_layout Standard With a PDF-Reply you can compose replies to PDF comments. The option \series bold replyto \series default provides a clear reference to the comment the reply refers to. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As example see the reply to the Highlight PDF-Markup from the previous section. \begin_inset Flex PDF-Reply status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout id=2,replyto=1,date=D:20101211161247+01'00' \end_layout \end_inset This is a reply. \end_layout \end_inset It appears in that PDF-Markup comment. To be able to reference the PDF-Markup the option \series bold id=1 \series default was added to its options. The PDF-Reply got the option \series bold replyto=1 \series default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can also reply to replies by adding an \series bold id \series default option to the reply that should be replied to. As example see the reply to the reply to the PDF-Markup. \begin_inset Flex PDF-Reply status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout replyto=2,date=D:20101212095321+01'00' \end_layout \end_inset Of course, you can reply to a reply. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Note Greyedout status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \series bold Note: \series default Due to technical reasons PDF-Reply works only when using pdflatex. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard PDF-Reply has some further limitations: \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize It can not support page breaks. \end_layout \begin_layout Itemize The replies will only appear in the PDF annotations on the second page. (Replies to comments without page break work smoothly.) \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Sideline \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This will typeset a comment in form of identical markers on every side of the page. The yellow arrows besides this text is an example without any options: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Sideline status open \begin_layout Plain Layout a simple PDF-Sideline \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As you can see a PDF-Sideline comment without options is quite useless. PDF-Sideline is useful if you want to highlight complete parts of a page. The inset options define the layout of the marker while the normal content of the inset is the text surrounded by the markers. The content of the inset option \family sans Comment \family default will be printed along both markers. Here is an example: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex PDF-Sideline status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout opacity=0.33,color=magenta,icolor=cyan,caption=inline,linebegin= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset /Butt \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset ,lineend= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset /Square \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset ,linewidth=3bp,linesep=0.7cm \end_layout \end_inset Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

Here is an example without any options: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Square status open \begin_layout Plain Layout a simple PDF-Square comment \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Below this text you see a rectangle comment with a curvy outline as example of a PDF-Square with options. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex PDF-Square status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout height=2cm,width=4.8cm,voffset=-2cm,hoffset=1cm,opacity=1.0,justification=right,ic olor=CornflowerBlue,bse=cloudy,bsei=2.5,linewidth=8pt \end_layout \end_inset A fancy PDF-Square comment \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Tooltip \end_layout \begin_layout Standard With this you can annotate any object with a tooltip. \begin_inset Foot status open \begin_layout Plain Layout All objects that can be set into a TeX-box to measure its size. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The PDF-Tooltip inset has a mandatory argument for the tooltip. The object that should be annotated is set into the PDF-Tooltip inset, the tooltip is written into the mandatory argument of the inset. Here is an example of a word with a tooltip: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Tooltip status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument post:1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout This is a tooltip! \end_layout \end_inset \color red words \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard As the object for the tooltip can be almost anything, we can also use it for chemical notations in math: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Tooltip status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument post:1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Sulfuric acid \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Formula $\ce{H2SO4}$ \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The PDF-Tooltip inset has also an optional argument that is used to correct the size of tooltips for math (if necessary) or to disable an annotation. Here is an example with a mathstyle option: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex PDF-Tooltip status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout mathstyle= \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash \end_layout \end_inset displaystyle \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Argument post:1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout little Gauß \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Formula $x^{2}+2xy+y^{2}\sum_{i=1}^{n}i=\frac{1}{2}n\cdot(n+1)$ \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section Comment definitions \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The package \series bold pdfcomment \series default provides the following environments to define or change PDF comments: \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF-Comment setup \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sub:PDF-Comment-setup" \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard With this custom inset you can reset the global (document-wide) options at any time. For example the default color for new PDF comments is blue. To get Adobe Reader's yellow colored notes for all comments in your document, add the PDF comment setup inset to the beginning of your document and insert there the option \series bold color=yellow \series default . This was also done in this document. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard By using its optional option \series bold local \series default you can keep the reset local within a group enclosed by TeX-braces. For example you want to reset the color only for two consecutive comments, then enclose the PDF comment setup inset and the two comment insets in TeX-braces. Here is an example: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Flex PDF-Comment-Setup status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout local \end_layout \end_inset color=Orange \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Flex PDF-Markup status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout PDF-Markup in orange \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset \begin_inset Flex PDF-Annotation status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout PDF-Annotation in orange \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset ERT status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Flex PDF-Margin status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout default PDF-Margin comment \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection PDF Comment style \end_layout \begin_layout Standard This environment allows you to define a style for a PDF comment that can be used by several comments. Assuming you write a Math tutorial and want to add popup explanations in the PDF for several expressions, then insert a PDF Comment style environment before your first formula. Name it for example \series bold MathPopup \series default , set the color to white with \series bold color=white \series default and highlight the whole formula with \series bold markup=Highlight \series default . \end_layout \begin_layout Define PDF-Comment Style \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout MathPopup \end_layout \end_inset color=white,markup=Highlight \end_layout \begin_layout Standard In the comments use the option \series bold style=MathPopup \series default to use your style. Here is an example: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex PDF-Markup status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \strikeout off \uuline off \uwave off \noun off \color none style= \family default \series default \shape default \size default \emph default \bar default \strikeout default \uuline default \uwave default \noun default \color inherit MathPopup \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Formula $P(E)$ \end_inset \begin_inset Argument post:1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \strikeout off \uuline off \uwave off \noun off \color none Probability of event E \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection \begin_inset CommandInset label LatexCommand label name "sec:Avatars" \end_inset Avatars \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you are for example reviewing a document, you need to add your name to every of your comments. In case you use a special layout of your annotations, you would have to do a lot of copy-paste work. But this can be avoided if you define for every person a special avatar. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Assuming your name is \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Oleg Testman \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset you can define an avatar for your using the environment Define \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Avatar. Its mandatory option is the name. In your case, name it \series bold Oleg \series default . Add behind the name of the avatar your name as author by writing \series bold author={Oleg Testman} \series default . \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset You might use a special icon to see at the first look which comments were made by you. You therefore add behind the author-statement, separated by a comma, \series bold icon=Check \series default \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset to get a checkmark. \begin_inset Foot status open \begin_layout Plain Layout For all possible icons, see the \series bold pdfcomment \series default manual. \end_layout \end_inset the checkmark should have a green color so that you add \series bold color=lime \series default to the avatar definition. Your whole definition reads now \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset \series bold author={Oleg Testman},icon=Check,color=lime \end_layout \begin_layout Define Avatar \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Oleg \end_layout \end_inset author={Oleg Testman},icon=Check,color=lime \end_layout \begin_layout Standard To use now your avatar for PDF comments you have two choices: \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate You set up ALL PDF comments in the document using your avatar. This is done by inserting the custom inset \family sans PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Comment-Setup \family default before the first PDF comment in your document. Insert to this inset \series bold avatar=Oleg \series default . \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate You add \series bold avatar=Oleg \series default to the options of a particular PDF comment. The avatar will then only be used for this comment. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is an example for the \family sans PDF \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Comment-Setup \family default method: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Comment-Setup status open \begin_layout Plain Layout avatar=Oleg \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Flex PDF-Annotation status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Oleg said: Wow, that's nice! \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Newline newline \end_inset and here is another comment: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Annotation status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Oleg also said: I hate to repeat myself. \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Define Avatar \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Dolittle \end_layout \end_inset color=NavyBlue,opacity=0.5,open=false,icon=Circle,author={Dr. Dolittle} \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is an example where another avatar \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Dolittle \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset is only used for this comment: \begin_inset Flex PDF-Margin status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout avatar=Dolittle \end_layout \end_inset I am Dr. Dolittle! Respect my authority! \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Section List of PDF comments \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You can insert a list with all PDF comments using the environment List of PDF comments.
