            Bug ID: 332136
           Summary: Enable saving .okular archives as pdf, preserving
                    annotations
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.16.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: haavard at ostermann.no

When one exports a PDF as an Okular document archive, it should be possible to
just as easily convert it back to a PDF file, while preserving annotations. 

In other words, someone please make a GUI option to save .okular archives as
.pdf with embedded annotations.

Current workaround: 
1: Extract the .okular archive with archive manager (original pdf + 2 XML
files)
2: Make an annotation in the newly unpacked pdf. This creates an xml file
containing the annotation data in ~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata/
3: Replace the file created in step 2 with the 'metadata.xml' file from step 1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Export PDF with annotations as File -> Export as -> Document Archive 
2. Open .okular file. 
3. Try saving it as a PDF
