I have a question to the developers:

Would it be too hard (or a viable partial solution) to use iText as a plugin to
save/export the Okular annotations to a native PDF? And the same thing when
loading a PDF with annotations, informing the user that the PDF contains
attachments/annotations and if he wants to import the native/original
annotations to Okular's annotation format? 

I came across with iText for Java very recently, and even though one have a
dependency here on Java to be able to use the library, could this be an option
to a user to have a choice to manipulate PDFs with iText on a plugin in Okular? 

Being iText open source and a great reference to manipulate PDF in the Java
world, I think it is pertinent to ask. Another solution would be to migrate the
code/algorithm to Qt/C++ so it could be used here and in other OS projects, at
least while no one comes up with a better solution.
