Our lecture notes at the university have gaps that need to be filled in. Because I am not a guy that loves paper, I used Okular and added annotations (i.e. those notes that directly display in the document, not the popup ones) to complement the document. When I wanted to print the file to get a "complete" PDF that also contains the annotations, the annotations were not printed. I did not find an option in printer settings or view options to have annotations printed as well. (I know there is a document archive but I want a shareable ready PDF) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a PDF in Okular 2. Add some annotations (specifically visible ones, no popup notes) 3. Print the file Actual Results: The PDF is printed but the annotations are not Expected Results: The PDF is printed and if you check the option "Print annotations" in "PDF options" tab of printer settings, annotations are printed and the document looks exactly like it was presented onscreen.

Since KDE 4.9, it's possible to print annotations in PDF files. And it works exactly like this! It's now possible to print all annotation types, except for Stamp annotations, because printing support for this annotation type is not implemented yet. If you are a Stamp annotation user please open a new bug about it. Thank you for caring about Okular
I just tried today's git checkout of Okular and I can nowhere find an option (neither in printer dialog nor in Okular settings) and it also does not print annotations. Am I blind?
You need to use poppler >= 0.20 too (Fabio forgot to mention that)
I'm still missing it in KDE 4.13.3 and poppler 0.24.5-2ubuntu4. Yes, any color markings are on the printed document, and pop up notes have their icon embedded, but their note text doesn't appear at all (no matter if the note was opened or not before print). I can also not spot any export function for it - tried the .okular archive format, but that isn't anything with extractable plain text, which would be enough for that purpose. Either I'm blind, or it still isn't implemented?
You're asking for something different than this bug is about. Open a new one.
What's the difference between annotations and notes?!
Read the original bug report "I used Okular and added annotations (i.e. those notes that directly display in the document, not the popup ones) to complement the document." Is that what you're asking? No, then it's a different feature you're asking for.
