            Bug ID: 338747
           Summary: Allow toggling of annotation icons in PDF documents
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.19.3
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com

Okular is great for viewing PDF documents containing annotations, such as
pop-up notes, but there is no obvious way of viewing the document *without* the
annotation icons.

In a heavily annotated document, little yellow balloon icons clutter the page,
obscuring text I want to read.  Nothing in the pull-down or context menus seems
to allow me to suppress the display of these icons.

I can work around the problem by deleting the annotations one at a time, but
that's rather cumbersome, particularly if there are dozens or hundreds of
annotations.  (Usually I don't even want to delete an annotation; I just want
to read what's underneath the balloon icon before opening it.)  Similarly, I
could print a new PDF by going to File->Print and deselecting "Print
annotations" from the "PDF Options" tab, but that's also rather awkward.

If there does exist some command for suppressing the annotation icons, then
please make it easier to find.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a PDF document with annotations


Actual Results:  
2. As expected, little yellow balloon icons appear wherever there is an
annotation.  However, there is no obvious way to temporarily turn them off so
that the underlying text can be read.

Expected Results:  
2. There should be a menu option to toggle display of the annotation icons.
