I am creating a PDF document with ConTeXt. This document should also be editable by the client itself. Two persons in the company I am working for tried to add annotations for me. One was using Infix. When trying to edit the document, he auto magically was transferred to a place in the document 30 or 40 pages further. Someone else worked with NitroPDF. He managed (as far as I know without problems) to give 38 annotations, but the size of the document increased from 5.4 MB to 102 MB. This looks not workable. Is there a way I can change the generated PDF so that the client will be able to edit the PDF when he gets it, or could I better generate HTML?

I don't see why documents created by context/luatex should pose a problem with respect to adding annotations. If 38 annotations are good for 100M extra data then (1) the annotations are huge, or (2) the editing app messes up or (3) the user could try to 'save as' instead of 'save' (often forces cleanup) The kind of pdf produced by context/luatex is pretty simple and efficient and does not have any clever tricks. The auto magic is unrelated to the pdf.
