Description Tristan Miller 2003-11-05 14:11:18 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

The author of a recent article on comp.text.tex described the features of the Adobe Acrobat program (the full commercial version, not the free Acrobat Reader) which allow the user to annotate PDF files.  These features include the ability to highlight, underline, and strike through text, and to add text notes at arbitrary points in the PDF file (represented as icons which, when activated, pop up a window with the respective annotation).  Presumably there is also some means of printing the document along with the annotations.

It sure would be swell if similar features were added to kghostview, especially since Adobe Acrobat isn't available for Linux.  Currently the only way of annotating a PDF file on Linux is to print it out and use a pen, which is a big waste of paper.

please see also my feature request (bug 62793)
Comment 2 Enrico Ros 2004-10-14 11:05:01 UTC 
Will do this in kpdf.
Comment 3 Paulo J. Matos 2006-11-28 22:49:19 UTC 
What's the current status of this bug? It seems this is being developed for the new generation kpdf/kghostsview... for KDE4 but it also seems that KDE4 is only out in a bit less than year (third quarter of 2007) if there's no delay... So, will we have it at least for Kpdf?

As a follow-up to Paulo's comment, this feature is in Okular, the new document viewer for KDE4.  I understand that printing and saving annotations are not yet fully implemented.

True, I would say that this bug can be closed now! :)

This is already possible in Okular.
