How can I superimpose LaTeX / TeX output over a PDF file?

Is there a plug-in for a PDF reader (or stand-alone GUI) that would allow me to add LaTeX annotations to an existing PDF?

I would like to annotate PDFs of scientific papers written by other authors. Often, the notes that I would like to make include maths, so being able to include LaTeX snippets in my annotations is important.

I found Overlay LaTeX/TeX coding easily on PDF with 300 pages, but it's not quite what I was looking for because it will tedious to move the annotations into the whitespace available.

  • See http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6306/how-to-annotate-pdf-files-generated-by-pdflatex - particularly the answer that refers to a pdfcomment package. – Ethan Bolker May 05 '12 at 16:04
  • @EthanBolker Thanks for the pointer. I did see the pdfcomment package, but I am looking for a way to add LaTeX annotations to PDFs for which I do not have the LaTeX source code (e.g., published papers written by other authors). So, from what I understand, I don't think pdfcomment will work for me. – Henry DeYoung May 05 '12 at 16:18

    You should also take a look at http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/15314/86 For dragging annotations around, you could use the technique I put in that one with WhizzyTeX and advi. – Andrew Stacey May 05 '12 at 18:10
  • I believe that the answer by Martin Sharrer in the thread linked by @AndrewStacey is the helpful one. – yo' May 06 '12 at 05:41
