How about PDFedit?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit

It works straight out of APT on debian 4.

I have tried pdfedit few times and I found that it is very slow or simply freezes. 

Do you ave that problem too?

alternative, flpsed , not as fancy as pdfedit but works most of the time.

also, there appears to be LaTeX packages that allow commenting but it would be cumbersome to use.
