I'm still very dubious about the concept. 

However I am willing to give this a try.

Conceptually, the idea will be that we can "export as" a .okular (which will likely really be a zip file, implemented using KIO::KArchive). That should be able to be done with just a poppler generator change. Then I'll add a new generator that can open .okular format files, and "export as" PDF.

Issues:
* I'm not sure whether one generator can really call another, so that might be a big problem.
* It might get very confusing if you sometimes edit the PDF and sometimes the .okular.
* It might require substantial changes in the okular core, because this will be the only place where we don't store the docdata in .kde/share/apps/okular.
* It won't be necessary for PDF files if poppler gets useable storage capability, and will probably then bitrot.
