--- Comment #2 from Henrik Fehlauer <rkflx at lab12.net> ---
For KDE Applications 17.12 Beta, Okular's annotation saving handling for PDFs
was changed from saving to an external XML file to modifying the PDF directly.
Therefore this changes the situation a bit.

However, it still does not work. We get "The file 'a.pdf.gz' has been modified
by another program, which means it can no longer be saved.". Even worse, "Save
As" does not work either, meaning any annotations added to a gzipped PDF cannot
be saved in any way.

Workaround to still get a gzipped file: Unzip PDF, open in Okular, save as
"Okular document archive" (which is a tar.gz, actually).

Nevertheless, this should be fixed as the workaround is not obvious for regular
users. Reverting 559836c39270 solves the issue as well as the old bug for me,
so the fix is probably easy (some special timestamp handling for gzipped
files?).
