I think the developer are smart-enough to make it comaptible, in the sense that you can *always get the original PDF out of the .okular*, which will probably be a smart way to make the PDF and the XML for the annotations travel together.
<br><br>Until poppler cannot edit a PDF or a new library for PDF-editing is published I don't think we can do much better than this. Indeed pdf-edit development doesn't run fast at all ... <br><br>On the other hand this "okular archive" will be a "portable annotated document", which works on every machine running okular (
i.e your laptop and your desktop(s)) irrespectively of the fact you moved or renamed the file. There is also some chance for this approach to provide annotated DjVu, Tiff and PS as well and this is not irrelevant too.<br>
<br>Finally, when it will be impletented, you can always come down to a PDF just printing the file to a PDF. This would allow (Acrobat) user to read the PDF as you edited and seems to me a great step ahead in features as well as a quick workaround for a basic functionality till basic facts about Poppler don't change.
<br><br>Say it is a very good looking patch. At least IMHO ...<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">15 Jan 2008 20:25:39 -0000, Brad Hards <<a href="mailto:bradh@frogmouth.net">bradh@frogmouth.net</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
