I have no idea why, but \pdfmarkupcomment doesn't show anything in my document. I tried to create MWE and it highlights text perfectly.

I guess some of the commands interfere with pdfcomments. Could someone help?

Here is my MWE (main file):

\documentclass[a4paper, oneside, BCOR=10mm]{scrbook} % see docs!
\usepackage{pdfcomment}
\usepackage[ngerman, USenglish]{babel} % main language comes last!
\begin{document}
\pdfmarkupcomment[markup=Highlight, disable=false]{replication server}{what is this?}
\include{mwe2}
\end{document}

And include:

\chapter{Test}\label{chap:test}
\pdfmarkupcomment[markup=Highlight, disable=false]{replication server}{what is this?}

  • Sorry, but the information is not sufficient to give any kind of advice. – egreg Feb 14 '13 at 22:48

    Then your MWE is not a proper MWE for your case. Make a copy of your thesis’ .tex file and begin commenting out stuff; a popular strategy is commenting out 50% and compiling. If the problem persists, go on, if not, use the other half, etc. See I've just been asked to write a minimal example, what is that?. – doncherry Feb 14 '13 at 22:53
  • I understand. I checked the document once again. When I put \pdfmarkupcomment to the main file, then highlight works. When I put it to the file, which is included using \include{}, then highlight doesn't work for me – damluar Feb 14 '13 at 22:53
  • @damluar Can you construct a MWE using \include? (Btw, you can use backticks ``` to mark your inline code in posts as well as in comments.) – doncherry Feb 14 '13 at 22:55
  • I posted MWE, I hope it will generate the same pdf as I have: the first page contains highlighted text and second - just usual text. – damluar Feb 14 '13 at 23:17
  • I don't see the problem with that MWE -- both ocurrances appear identical Try opening the output file in Acrobat. – Peter Grill Feb 14 '13 at 23:37
  • I've had a similar problem. Late but here is what I did: If it's just the highlighting that is not shown in some PDF viewers, I am combining \hl{text}\pdfcomment{comment} to get things to work. \hl is available via the soul package. – mfg Aug 21 '20 at 16:37
