            Bug ID: 345836
           Summary: Annotations in pdf documents should be automatically
                    saved to a temporary file.
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.20.2
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ssameer+bugs at gmail.com

If a user is adding annotations to a pdf file and Okular closes without saving
the file, the annotations are permanently lost and cannot be recovered. This
can happen if the user just forgets to save them, or Okular or the desktop or
the OS crashes / freezes. I've lost annotations by simply forgetting to save
them, or when Linux was unable to resume properly from sleep. Adobe reader
automatically saves annotation changes to a temperoary file every X minutes
(usually 5) and can recover unsaved changes the next time the document is
opened. This would be  avery useful feature for Okular and can save users a lot
of lost work.

Reproducible: Always
