Hi.

I only know Acrobat Pro (Windows) to be able to highlight, include notes and add text boxes on a PDF.

But it will be interesting to find if there is open source software that can do the same thing and check the effort of migrating it to the eCS-Platform.

Hi,

the pdf suite Foxit opens for editing, and it is quite good according to a friend of mine.  As far as I know, it only runs on Win platforms.  More info at: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/PDF_Editor/

30 days free trial.  After that, costs of US $ 89.  Buying a block order could get costs down and a ported version could be added to the eCS license costs if not too much (I have no idea where the pain limit for private users is, but I expect no more than US $ 20, and that could be difficult to make the Foxit people accept given their own pricing strategy).

Per E. Johannessen:
There are several programs that can do what I look for, but they're all written for other OS's, mostly Windows.
Best would be to have a native program, of course, but a java program that runs well with OS2 would be better than booting Win to get the job done.

Silvan Scherrer:
QPDFView is able to add annotations and bookmarks and some more IIRC

Andi B.:
Foxit Reader is free and can annotate text and draw and highlight and .... too. Unfortunately only Win. Same with PDFXEdit.
 
Never tried QPDFview for annotation anything. Not even find a way do to that. For viewing pdf it's okay. Although for some documents rather slow compared to Win/Foxit (takes ages to zoom in/out compared to Foxit/Win).

Lucide and guess QPDFView can fill in predefined fields. But that's not what Per E. needs unfortunately.
