Bug ID: 443055
Summary: Pdf File's Size Changed to 0 Bytes After Sudden Power
Outage
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: jlame...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I was reading a book using Okular. I made some annotations and then pressed
Ctrl+S to save the changes. Just 2 seconds after i pressed Ctrl+S there was a
power outage and my pc powered off(note pc didn't have any UPS). Next when the
power came back on i started my pc and found that the same pdf file is now
occupying 0 bytes of space. Unfortunately, i was not using git in this case so
i cannot get the old file back.
I have found that there are some xml files under the folder
/home/username/.local/share/okular/docdata/ that correspond to my old pdf. For
example the files are named like:
/home/username/.local/share/okular/docdata/4297319.NetworkProgramming.pdf.xml
/home/username/.local/share/okular/docdata/4298415.NetworkProgramming.pdf.xml
...
My question is that Is there a way to get back my old pdf file back using these
above xml files? For example, i have an old pdf which is the same as the old
pdf except that this one doesn't have any annotations in it. So Will it be
possible to add these xml information into that file(that doesn't have any
annotation)?
I am using Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64 and Okular 1.3.3
