Extract and reinsert PDF annotations with pdfTeX.

If PDF files are included using pdfTeX, PDF annotations are stripped. This project tries a solution without altering pdfTeX. A Java program (pax.jar) parses the PDF file that will later be included. It writes the data of the annotations in a file that can be read by TeX. Then a LaTeX package (pax.sty) extends the graphics package. If a PDF file is included, the package looks for the file with the annotation data, reads them and puts the annotations in the right place.
