Annotations
Okular allows you to review and annotate your documents. Annotations created in Okular are automatically saved in the internal local data folder for each user. Okular does not implicitly change any document it opens.
Since KDE 4.2, Okular has the "document archiving" feature. This is an Okular-specific format for carrying the document plus various metadata related to it (currently only annotations). You can save a "document archive" from the open document by choosing ->->. To open an Okular document archive, just open it with Okular as it would be e.g. a PDF document.
Due to DRM limitations (typically with PDF documents), adding, editing some properties or removing annotations could not be possible.
To add some annotations to the document, you have to activate the annotating toolbar. This is done by either selecting -> or pressing F6. Once the annotating toolbar is shown, just press one of its buttons to start constructing that annotation.
The annotating toolbar can be docked in any side of the viewing area: just drag it to move it to another place.
Activating the annotating toolbar will make you switch to the Normal Mode.
You can stop the construction any time by pressing again on the button of the annotation you are constructing, or by pressing the ESC key.
The newly constructed annotation will have as author the author you set in the Identity page in Okulars configuration dialog.
To remove an annotation, just click on it with the mouse button, and select .
When removing the annotation, its window will be closed if open.
This option could not be enabled because the document does not allow removing annotations.
To edit an annotation, click on it with the mouse button and select . A dialog will appear with the general annotation settings (like color and opacity, author, etc.) and the settings specific to that annotation type.
To move an annotation, hold down the Ctrl key, move the mouse pointer on it and then start dragging with the mouse button.
Depending on the document permissions (typically with PDF documents), some options can be disabled.
