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.
J: No. You can edit given Annotations with the free eXpert PDF viewer and
also insert some home brewn annotations, that look a bit weird, but also
will
be displayed in Adobe Reader.
SH: Yes, you are correct although I did not find the interface intuitive.
Multivalent also annotated pdf in a more satisfactory manner but
appeared to save in its own format, mvd, rather than the .pdf format
which would be readable from Adobe Reader by other collaborators.
Jürgen: The question is what your colloberators are willing to install.
Acroread is quite of Standard, so the most pragmatic solution would
be to find a way to set the annotation permissions.
SH: Yes, I could create comments in eXpert PDF viewer and read them in
Adobe Reader, but was unable to reply, which Adobe Writer Pro enables.
It will be a cold day in August when I contradict you again :-)
