Description Sam 2015-07-29 09:32:13 UTC

My supervisor uses Acrobat Reader to annotate PDF files to indicate recommended changes to the document. As I go through the document making the changes, I delete their annotations. However, in cases where they have used the inline addition tool (marked as "Caret" by okular), I find that I am unable to delete the annotation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached document (annotations.pdf) in okular
2. Right-click the blue symbol to the lower left of "regression" after equation 5.2
3. Notice that the "Delete" option is not available

All other annotations (Strike Out, Highlight, Pop-up Notes) in the document can be deleted using the steps above.


Expected Results:  
Allow Caret annotations to be deleted

An easy workaround is to place a stamp over the annotations which have been dealt to.

Test document with variety of annotation types

Includes "Caret", "Strike Out", "Highlight" and "Pop-up Note" annotations. All forms can be deleted, with the exception of "Caret".

Confirmed for the git/master of Okular/Poppler.

Allow for the deletion of Caret annotations

Seems poppler just renders them fine, so we set them to externally rendered and allow annotation
