+     "If PDF files are included using pdfTeX, PDF annotations are stripped.
+The Pax project offers a solution without altering pdfTeX.  A Java program
+(@file{pax.jar}) parses the PDF file that will later be included.  The program
+then writes the data of the annotations into a file that can be read by TeX.
+The LaTeX package @code{pax} extends the @code{graphics} package to support
+the scheme: 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.")
