IpePresenter is really just a presenter - it cannot modify the file at all.

To add notes to a beamer presentation, you write the notes directly into the beamer source.   The easiest way to do this is to define in your preamble

\usepackage{pdfcomment}
\newcommand{\pdfnote}[1]{\marginnote{\pdfcomment[icon=note]{#1}}}

and then you can add notes to slides by saying

\pdfnote{remember to say hello}

See under III here: http://iihm.imag.fr/blanch/software/osx-presentation/

I really need to add a chapter about IpePresenter to the manual!
