Bug ID: 464980 Summary: Annotations in rotated PDF not rotated Classification: Applications Product: okular Version: 22.12.1 Platform: Archlinux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: PDF backend Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org Reporter: post+kdeb...@guelker.eu Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Adding an annotation to a rotated PDF results in an unrotated annotation. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Rotate a PDF using the View menu 2. Create a text annotation with any content (ALT+5) 3. Witness how the annotation is not in the direction of the view, but of the original PDF. OBSERVED RESULT The annotation is not rotated, that is, it aligns with the original PDF orientation rather than that of the view. EXPECTED RESULT It should be rotated according to the view. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: ArchLinux kernel 6.1.8-arch1-1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I correct exams, send in by students, using Okular's annotation facility (with red color, in case this is important). The students are required by the university to scan them to PDF with whatever means they have at hand. More often than not, this is their smartphone. As a result, the documents are often not upright. So I rotate them using Okular's rotation features to view them upright. When I then use the annotation facility (ALT+5) to add my corrector's comments to the page, those comments are not placed where I click, but set off, and they are rotated incorrectly, namely into the direction of the original PDF file, whereas they should be rotated so they align with the view. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
