Is there a way (possibly via a 3rd party plugin) to read/write PDF annotations/comments in Illustrator?

We use PDF comments heavily in our workflow with Illustrator. The problem is to add/edit/view these comments we need to use two programs.

The comments are used to embed markup language that our custom software which converts it into a web based template. This is why is it is so critical to be easily accesed from our primary design tool (Illustrator).

There is no way that I've found to do what you're asking for. In your situation, I would probably be thinking along the lines of shifting that embedded comment workflow to document metadata, or the entire workflow to InDesign/IDML or perhaps utilizing JDF (which is also XML).

If that's too radical a thought, and I can understand why it would be, it might be worthwhile casting about for a skilled scripter who's familiar with the AI and PDF DOMs and could whip up a custom panel that would populate with the information you need and embed it in the PDF output directly or as JDF/metadata.
