--- Comment #11 from Henrik Fehlauer <rkflx at lab12.net> ---
Saving bookmarks to Okular document archives is tracked in Bug 330961. Let's
make this bug about saving bookmarks natively to the PDF.

Testing Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader, both have a single/combined panel for
bookmarks and TOC entries (Okular has separated "Bookmarks" and "Content"
panels, but also supports other file formats). Adding a "bookmark" in those
programs will show up as a new "Content" entry in Okular.

Okular now supports storing annotations directly to PDF and PDF is probably the
most important file format for Okular's user base by far. In addition, epub
documents are likely to be read from start to finish, while tech spec PDFs tend
to get quite long without being read linearly and custom bookmarking is most
useful in that case. Therefore, I propose to optimize the user experience
regarding (sharing) bookmarks with non-Okular users for the specific case of
PDFs.

In addition to providing support for saving bookmarks to the PDF, this would
need some thinking about workflow and UI, i.e. how not to confuse "Content" and
"Bookmarks".

(Note that in macOS Preview "Bookmarks" seem to be separate too, but I could
not investigate further how this is handled there.)
