Description Bill Robert 2009-03-09 15:52:05 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I have the following feature request:
Currently it is not very handy to add text to pdf documents because at first you have to select the inline text tool, create a rectangle where the text should be and then enter the text in a seperate window.

It would be easier if you: Select the text tool and then can place the cursor wherever you want - then the text box would be automatically created (ideally with bg=transparent and foreground-color = white if dark background, black if bright background), could be moved, resized, edited by clicking into the textbox etc.

Too it would be good if the textbox could handle some formatting like subscript, bold etc.

I agree with this! Comment formatting could make this one of the best PDF annotation tools I've used.

A quicker change that I would find helpful would be the ability to change the text color.
