why pop-up notes are big? i can't manipulate them between letters. I wish to have small pop-up notes so it will be easy to manipulate them between letters Reproducible: Always Actual Results: i can't add informations in text Expected Results: have small pop-up notes in way that i can manipulate them between lettres
I don't understand what your complain is, could you attach a screenshot with maybe some arrows, text added later with an image editor pointing to what you think its too big?
If you can provide the information requested in comment #1, please add it.

(In reply to Andrew Crouthamel from comment #8) > This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days The bug shouldn't be in NEEDSINFO. Description + screenshots made it clear enough, we can decide if the request is valid now. Sebastian wants to annotate a very particular text location with a popup note. But the note icon is too big to fit inside white space between glyphs or lines and therefore the icon hides some text. Sebastian suggests to have smaller notes. I see two possible solutions. 1. Make the icon resizable, just like other annotation types. I've already done a poppler patch to enable this, but after some discussion it got stale. I don't know why. Any interest to pick it up again? See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/issues/379. 2. Implement "NoZoom" behavior for the icons (see PDF reference, "Annotations flags"), as Adobe Reader does. Then the icon is always the same size regardless of zoom level. If you zoom in enough the icon gets small enough relative to document text to fit inside gaps. As a workaround one could use another annotation tool, like highlighter. Anyway, IMO the request is valid.
I agree with what Tobias said. Also, there is a third option: The pdf standard allows for FreeText annotations with a callout line. That should look pretty much like the mockup in the third attachment. Besides, Tobias' two options are not mutually exclusive, right? Ideally we should implement both.
Thank you for the update. I've gone ahead and changed the status.

Sadly that's not an option, because popup notes are not of subtype FreeText, but subtype Text. PDF doesn't specify callout lines for the latter, does it? Anyway, callout lines would be a nice feature for inline notes (=FreeText), it could become a separate wish. > Besides, Tobias' two options are not mutually exclusive, right? Ideally we > should implement both. Yeah, ideally we'll have them both (though, no idea what would be the preferred default in that imaginary future). Resizing should be quite straight to implement. It's actually little change in code, proofing it with PDF reference quotes, and some thoughts about regressions in poppler downstream projects (e.g., how would evince be affected when the poppler patch gets applied). NoZoom could become a bigger adventure, afaikt there's not much prepared for it as of now.
