[Okular-devel] [Bug 151614] store annotations with documents

[roberto franceschini]

As far as I know PDFedit is aiming to the definitive solution to the problem
of this thread.
Development is quite hard though. I just updated to 0.3.2 to check the
progress and I find a situation not so much improved. For instance PDFedit
get slower and slower as you add more and more annotations (three or four
are enought to make it apparent). I was told it to be linked to QSA library
and Qt3. They plan to move to qt4 and fix the QSA thing, but in the several
months elapsed since I asked, nothing changed. This look to be a quite
involved thing.
Given PDFedit is the best choice for a robust edit feature in okular, I
think it will be reliable and full featured only in the mid long term.
Therefore I think okular should find a solution for its first stages (one
year or so, maybe more).

Cross-finger for PDFedit coming soon and finding a good workaround in the
meanwhile is maybe the solution.
