[XeTeX] Commenting

[Yaniv Hollander]

Your first example is exactly what I mean. The thing is that using  
Acrobat reader I cannot add these yellow comments as you have added.  
Nor did I managed to add my own comments to the document you sent.  
What version of Acrobat are you using? Do you have Acrobat writer, or  
any other professional version, or you are using the regular freeware  
version?

Thanks, Yaniv
