            Bug ID: 426430
           Summary: Typewriter annotation doesn't use corrected page
                    orientation
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.11.0
          Platform: Flatpak
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: skierpage at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
I needed to annotate a PDF with some text, but the PDF had been scanned
sideways. So I used View > Orientation > Rotate Right to fix its orientation,
then F6 > T to add my text annotation. But Okular also rotated this new
annotation, so it appeared sideways.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF in Okular (this bug will be clearer if it was scanned sideways
hence has wrong orientation).
2. Choose View > Orientation > Rotate Right (or Left) to correct its
orientation.
3. Now use the Typewriter tool (F6 > T) to enter a text annotation.

OBSERVED RESULT
Okular places the text annotation upright on the page according to its
_original_ orientation, meaning that it is rotated relative to the page with
the corrected orientation.

EXPECTED RESULT
If you've corrected the page orientation, Okular should place text upright
according to the current _corrected_ orientation, not the original page.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73.0
Qt Version: 5.15.0 (xcb)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This occurs in Fedora 32's packaged Okular 1.9.3, and I reproduced in the
kdeapps flatpak, version 1.11.70.

I tried saving the PDF with corrected orientation as a new PDF, opening the new
PDF in okular, and then annotating that, and it didn't help, okular
"remembered" the original orientation.

https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/7631#issuecomment-247857666 talks
about annotations, rotations, a NoRotate flag in PDF, this might be relevant.
