            Bug ID: 419532
           Summary: Inline annotations are not properly saved to be
                    visible in (some) other PDF viewers
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.9.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Inline annotations are not properly saved to be visible in (some) other PDF
viewers. related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353400

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open pdf file
2. Press F6 to show annotation tools, select Inline Note. 
3. Add some text
4. Save pdf
5. Open pdf in other viewer 

I tested Google PDF viewer on Androd and Microsoft Edge on Windows (being the
default preinstalled tools most people use on other systems). I remember once
having the same issue with Adobe Acrobat, but couldn't test it now.  

OBSERVED RESULT

The inline note is ignored. Other annotations such as freehand line and text
markup are shown properly.

EXPECTED RESULT

The inline note should be shown. Alternatively, a subtle notification should
appear to user that inline notes are not compatible features (e.g. when
hovering over inline note icon in the annotations toolbar). If I may add here,
to improve UI and usability, the same goes for the stamp tool. For stamps is
stated under Settings, Annotation options that "stamps inserted in PDF
documents are not visible in PDF readers other than Okular" but this text
should be shown to user when they are up to use it.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Okular 1.9.3 using Poppler 0.77.0
KDE Frameworks 5.68.0
Qt 5.14.1 (built against 5.14.1)
