When it's a multifile pdf that you want to mainly read and just annotate along
the way, gimp is not a viable option.

One other problem with most anotators BTW is that they don't change the file
but store the changes somewhere else, which means that they are dependent on
where the file resides and what it's name is, which makes it hard to send the
annotations.
