still looking for decent PDF annotation tool

[Titus]

It is manipulating the underlying PostScript code.  PostScript
is a vector graphics format originally designed for describing
a page to be printed.  Lots of programs will output PostScript:
xfig, ghostview, TeX and LaTeX and lots more.  And there are
programs ('ps2pdf' and others) that will take the PostScript
and produce a .pdf file.  Similarly, there are programs
('pdf2ps' and others) that will convert a .pdf file back into
a PostScript file.

Gimp (I think) will do these conversions for you and allow you
to mark up the document while it is open.  This is essentially
what Adobe Acrobat (the $$ version) will do for you. PostScript
is text based; so you can edit it with any editor.  But that is
for the hard cases out there.  Oops, that's me.
