  That is https://phabricator.kde.org/D7962 .  I put it on hold, because I didn't want to spend more time on time before knowing whether this patch here will get merged or not.

  That is interesting. Arthur renders them correctly to a screen, but I can confirm that they are opaque when printed.
  Could this be a QPrinter bug?  It is the same poppler backend code for screen and printer output.
  
  That being said, highlighter annotations were a bit difficult to implement in Arthur, because they use a pdf
  feature called 'transparency groups', which maps badly to Qt.
  
  I also implemented all your further suggestions.  I hope I understood them correctly: not sure where you wanted the colon to be.
