Is anyone aware of whether or not the Preview.app bundled with Tiger can read and display highlights or comments inserted into a PDF document by Acrobat Pro?

If not, is there a reason why not? Are these features some proprietary Adobe addition to the PDF spec, or have they just not been implemented by Apple?

Why is this a "support" question?

He doesn't ask how to do something in Tiger, he asks if Tiger will have a specific feature or not.

As far as I can tell, there's no public info on this except for the one I gave. Tiger Preview reads both highlighting and annotation notes from Acrobat.

Yeah, this is not a support thread - it's a feature inquiry.
