Public bug reported: Under previous versions of Okular, I have been able to embed annotations within a PDF file by using File > Save As... Recently I found that this operation was no longer embedding the annotations. In other words, the annotations were no longer present when annotated PDFs (saved using Save As...) were opened with another software or on another computer.
I am using: OS: Ubuntu 16.04LTS Okular 0.24.2 (the version currently available in the standard Ubuntu repositories) This problem has been observed by others since October 2017 - see http ://thomas-cokelaer.info/blog/2017/10/okular-export-annotations-in-the- pdf-file/ That blog entry provides an effective workaround: simply use File > Print... > Print to File (PDF). The blog makes no mention of Ubuntu. I can see that KDE is now using Okular 1.3, which handles annotations very differently, routinely embedding annotations within the PDF file. Recommendation: make changes to Okular for Ubuntu so that annotation storage options (centralised with the package, or embedded in individual files) are transparent and easily changeable by the user. If this is too hard, then I recommend restoring the embedding of annotations through File > Save As... ** Affects: okular (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757583 Title: Annotations Not Embedded using File > Save As...
