--- Comment #39 from Henrik Fehlauer <rkflx at lab12.net> ---
As of KDE Applications 17.12, automatic saving of annotations to the external
location has been removed. For PDFs, you can save directly. For unsupported
file formats, you get this warning upon saving or closing: "You are about to
save changes, but the current file format does not support saving the following
elements. Please use the Okular document archive format to preserve them."

As Comment 1 is about "standard conformance", this probably concerns PDFs and
has been achieved. Therefore I am closing this bug now.

For files like JPGs, a warning will be shown although not upfront, but why
would anyone expect saving annotations natively to work anyway? IMO the warning
is good enough now. If anyone cares about a warning upfront and also an
indication that printing annotations won't work (yet) in this case (which is
more of a missing feature, actually), please open a new bug without the noise
and clearly state your use case.
