Kind of. Unless this has been patched recently, annotations on SONYs can be viewed on your PC, but not embedded in a PDF file. That is, the annotations are saved in a separate file and, when you open the PDF in SONY's software (so even on your PC, if you install Reader), it will overlay the annotations.

But you cannot save the annotations in the PDF and view them in any other PDF viewer - as you can, say, with iAnnotate on the iPad. Which does not sound like a huge problem, until you realize that SONY's software makes for very clunky PDF viewing (not even a decent zoom feature... what the heck... ).

The annotation can, however, be exported to an RTF. But even that is somehow clunky - the page with annotation will be saved as an image and pasted into an RTF file, while highlighted text will be pasted as text - unless the file is protected by copyright, in which case at max 150 characters will be copied over.

As I said... clunky.
