How does the Add Comment Box work?

Add inline comment boxes on a PDF — small pale-yellow bordered rectangles with your note text inside, anchored at coordinates you specify. Useful for marked-up review copies, instructor feedback on student work, or peer-review markup. Each comment is a block in the textarea: the first line is "page,x,y" and the remaining lines are the comment text. Blocks are separated by blank lines. Different from Sticky Note, which renders as an icon-and-bubble; this is a simple boxed inline annotation.
