Hello Jürgen,
That seemed like a good explanation to me and it was very thoughtful
or considerate to go out of your way to illustrate the idea graphically.
I've been looking at flpsed which features:
http://www.ecademix.com/JohannesHofmann/#flpsed
This is certainly an interesting project. There are other free tools that
can
annotate PDFs directly, like the Multivalent browser
(http://multivalent.sourceforge.net/). On Windows, the free eXpert PDF
viewer
can do it (http://www.visagesoft.com/products/pdfreader/), and OSX Tiger's
preview also.
I knew there were two or three free X11 based tools. But eXPert PDF viewer
seems to be free in the same sense as Adobe Reader for making annotations.
First you have to buy eXPert PDF Editor which is 39 or 79 Euro, I don't
know much that is in dollars, which provides the functionality of Adobe
Writer Pro, and although it is much cheaper, I find money is a greater
impediment than being ill-disposed to download free software due to time.
My research has not revealed a free tool for Windows corresponding to
the free tools for Linux; flpsed was the closest I found. Now that Windows
is officially supported, I wanted a means for the Win release to come close
to features which might become available for the Linux version. This is not
a platform specific position, I'm in favor of cross-platform equality both
ways.
Dual boots,
Stephen
