Bug ID: 402939
Summary: Annotation workflow is completely broken
Product: okular
Version: 1.4.3
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: dima...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I wanted to add my signature (image, not cryptographic one) into a pdf
document. So I decided to use the Annotation feature of Okular, found that
Stamp was what I looking for.
Here was the first problem - it is completely impossible (from the given
interface) to understand how I am supposed to add my own image in the list of
available stamps.
Well, after some googling I found your help (which is wrong, actually):
https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kdegraphics/okular/configannotations.html
Using Custom Stamps
* Create the icon you want to use for your own stamp and save it in any
graphics format supported by Okular
* Click the Add button, select type Stamp and enter a name for your stamp.
* Enter the full path to your custom icon into the dropdown box in the Stamp
Symbol group
My path was "/home/dimanne/Downloads/DimanNeSignature.png" - it did not work.
After more googling I found out that I should have somehow understood that the
path must be in lowercase - https://superuser.com/a/1325085/981679
At least, you should have written it in the help, instead of making people
debug Okular with strace.
Well, after renaming to lowercase I managed to get it on my PDF (it is still
ugly since you downscale it drastically and it looks distorted, but anyway, it
was passable).
Finally, I have went all the path only to know that the signature can not be
saved in resulting (annotated) PDF -
