1. A method comprising:
- presenting an electronic document data file including dynamic content and organized according to a page descriptive format, the dynamic content comprising a media content that changes state over time, wherein the media content comprises scripted content, the page descriptive format being a device-independent and display resolution-independent fixed-layout document format;
adding a comment to the media content, the comment being directed to a state of the media content selected from a plurality of states of the media content, wherein the selected state comprises user-customized content elements;
adding opaque state information to the electronic document data file such that the comment and the selected state of the media content to which the comment is directed can be rendered from the electronic document data file using the opaque state information, the opaque state information referencing the selected state of the media content associated with the comment and including frame information associated with the media content;
subsequent to adding the opaque state information to the electronic document data file, receiving an indication to access the comment;
in response to receiving the indication to access the comment, rendering the comment and the selected state of the media content to which the comment is directed based on the opaque state information.

Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to add opaque state information to a data file that includes dynamic content and is organized according to a page descriptive format. The opaque state information can be referenced to a comment and a comment state selected from a plurality of states associated with the dynamic content. In some embodiments, the apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to access the data file and the opaque state information to recreate the comment state associated with the dynamic content. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

26. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
accessing an electronic document data file including dynamic content and organized according to a page descriptive format, the dynamic content comprising a media content that changes state over time, wherein the media content comprises scripted content, the page descriptive format being a device-independent and display resolution-independent fixed-layout document format; accessing opaque state information included in the electronic document data file, the opaque state information being associated with at least one comment and referencing a state selected from a plurality of states associated with the media content, wherein the selected state comprises user-customized content elements, wherein the opaque state information further comprises frame information associated with the media content, wherein the at least one comment is added to the media content and is directed to the selected state, and wherein the at least one comment and the selected state of the media content to which the at least one comment is directed can be rendered from the electronic document data file using the opaque state information; and in response to receiving an indication that the at least one comment is to be presented, rendering the at least one comment and the selected state of the media content to which the at least one comment is directed from the electronic document data file using the opaque state information. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28)
