  Right, that's what I originally thought this was all about. If the user can't, then this whole interface is almost rubbing salt in the wound: they're informed that they're in a situation they can't escape from and given no good options. If possible, we should really try to find a way to offer an option to write the working copy in Okular back to disk, overwriting what the other program did.

That sounds fine.
