Okular error screenshots

I'm running Okular from flatpak (flathub.org) on Debian 9, GNOME 3.22. I am
unable to open files in Okular "normally" (by double-clicking, or dragging and
dropping into an open Okular Window). 

But I am able to open files if I browse to a file from Okular's File > Open
menu (Ctrl+O). 

Upon making annotations, when I try to save any changes, the file-save dialog
box opens in the background and I get a notification pop-up saying 

Xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
"Save As" is ready

Also, under 'Open Recent' file list, the path to the file shows up as
/run/user/1000/doc/<some number>/<filename>, instead of the actual path. (But I
am able to open files already in the 'Open Recent'.)

I looked some previous bug reports and discussions. Upon running "systemctl
--user status xdg-desktop-portal.service", I get "Unit
xdg-desktop-portal.service could not be found." 

xdg-desktop-portal-kde is not installed and I am unable to find it in Debian
Stretch or backports repositories. (I do see it on Debian testing and Sid
repos.) 

I've attached some screenshots of the errors I'm getting, and would be happy to
provide additional info. I'd really appreciate any help with sorting this out. 

(I'm not a software developer, just an end-user, and was unsure whether to mark
this bug as 'major', 'normal', 'minor' etc. Please feel free to mark it as
appropriate.)

While I'm at it, I want to thank the developers for this life-saver. Were it
not for Okular, PDF file management on my Linux setups would be a nightmare.
