The consensus seems to be that saving annotations back into the PDF file is not
possible, and that the solutions is to role a special .okular archive format
which contains metadata and the original document. But what is not clear to me
is why it is not possible to simply save annotations back into the original
pdf? Both Foxit and Adobe Acrobat Pro can save annotations back into the
original document, so it would seem to be possible from a technical standpoint.
This also seems to be the better solution, as a .okular format will not be
portable across PDF readers, and thus mostly defeats the point. I would highly
encourage the developers to direct their efforts toward matching the
functionality of other Foxit and Adobe Acrobat Pro in terms of being able to
save annotations back to files. As it stand right now, I believe the user
experience is frustrating and counterintuitive.
