><br>> Thank you for bringing this up, I feel a bit uneasy about this whole issue<br>> as well.<br>><br>> PDF's, for example, do have annotation support - which isn't used.<br><br>Feel free to bring poppler knowledgeable and free time manpower to fix it ;-)
<br><br>We do have code that adds annotation support to poppler, it works to some<br>extent, there have been two google GSoc in additing annotation support to<br>poppler so okular and evince can use it, but none ended producing real usable
<br>code (well, evince is this year's GSoc, but afair it GSoc has already ended<br>and no patch was sent to poppler mailing list).<br><br>Yes it sucks, but at the moment what we offer is the better thing we can<br>offer.
</blockquote><div><br>Well, if it's a manpower and time thing, I didn't say anything. I did remember some discussion about 'changing the file or not', and I vaguely remember a decision was made to rather create a second file or something (which I didn't exactly fancy)... So that's what we mentioned...

<br>> don't support this feature... Annoyingly. Yet I think it sucks to have to<br>> go for the 'worst' solution here... I think sharing annotations is VERY<br>> important, a big thing for the whole annotation concept. How do you guys
<br>> intend to make that easy as pie, if I may inquire?<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Okular-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Okular-devel@kde.org">Okular-devel@kde.org</a><br><a href="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel">
