Description dene18 2025-11-26 16:23:46 UTC

Hello Okular team,

I would like to suggest a new feature for Okular: a “Hide All” option to quickly hide all annotations, comments, highlights, and handwriting notes in a PDF.

Use case:

I often use Okular on a touchscreen or interactive whiteboard without a keyboard.

Currently, each annotation must be hidden one by one, which is time-consuming and inconvenient.

A single Hide All button would allow users to instantly hide all notes while keeping the PDF content visible.


Benefits:

Improves workflow for teachers, students, and presenters using interactive displays.

Makes reviewing and reading PDFs faster and easier.
