Inline notes are powerful, but they could be even more so if they would allow: - transparent background (but not necessarily text as well, as opacity does) - make transparent boundaries In particular that would be useful to fill pdfs that are not fillable forms. Currently I have to use Xournal for that, but I would prefer Okular much better. Reproducible: Always
Transparency is forbidden for PDF/A-1 by the standard ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A ) so it is usable for PDF/A-2+ documents only if not converting pages into images.
Well, I was asking for the same exisiting opacity to differently apply to background color and text color, and introduce it for the line color. If not possible, just giving the option of no color for line and background would do it for me.
I don't think opacity for anything than the whole thing makes sense, but width for the line is something that is already implemented in poppler and probably having a transparent background wouldn't be that hard. Needs someone to code it
You mean width for line equal to 0 would be like no line at all?
Yes
(In reply to avlas from comment #4) > You mean width for line equal to 0 would be like no line at all? I am also voting for option to remove the border. On documents with closely spaced line (such as scientific journal papers), the current border obscures a lot of important text. Opaque text on transparent background, combined with the ability to "turn-off" the border appears to be an extremely useful feature.

And of course, the capability of re-sizing the in-line text box later to the needs would make it a powerful review tool.
Is this fixed with the new “Typewriter” annotation tool now? These are Typewriter annotations: (In reply to avlas from comment #0) > - transparent background (but not necessarily text as well, as opacity does) > - make transparent boundaries > > In particular that would be useful to fill pdfs that are not fillable forms.
Reporter[s] could you try the new version with typewriter on it and say if it is what you expected?
I think so
