            Bug ID: 383651
           Summary: Custom/image stamp annotations are not saved into the
                    PDF file in a way that can be printed or that other
                    readers can see
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: pointedstick at zoho.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Okular 1.0.3 on Kubuntu 17.04

A few years ago, Okular gained the ability to save annotations into PDF files:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151614

For the most part, it works great! There is one problem: custom/image stamp
annotations are not saved in a way that can be printed or that other PDF
readers can see. I tested many.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open a PDF file with Okular
2. Define a custom image stamp (Configure Okular > Annotations > Add > Stamp >
enter a valid path to an image in the combobox)
3. Stamp your image into the document
4. File > Save As > Save the document somewhere
5. Use Okular to print the document or open it document in a non-Okular PDF
viewer


EXPECTED RESULTS:
The image stamp is visible when the document is printed or viewed in a
non-Okular PDF viewer


ACTUAL RESULTS:
The image stamp annotation is not visible In any of the non-Okular PDF viewers
I had available: Adobe Acrobat, Foxit Reader, SumatraPDF, the PDF readers built
into Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Acrobat reader can see and manipulate the
*outlines* of the annotations, but the outlines have no images in them.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This affects a very common use case: wanting to add an image of the user's
signature to a PDF document to sign it and send it back to them. When they open
the file, the signature will not be visible unless they open it with Okular
(unlikely).
