My supervisor uses Acrobat Reader to annotate PDF files to indicate recommended changes to the document. As I go through the document making the changes, I delete their annotations. However, in cases where they have used the inline addition tool (marked as "Caret" by okular), I find that I am unable to delete the annotation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open attached document (annotations.pdf) in okular 2. Right-click the blue symbol to the lower left of "regression" after equation 5.2 3. Notice that the "Delete" option is not available All other annotations (Strike Out, Highlight, Pop-up Notes) in the document can be deleted using the steps above. Expected Results: Allow Caret annotations to be deleted An easy workaround is to place a stamp over the annotations which have been dealt to.
Created attachment 93790 [details] Test document with variety of annotation types Includes "Caret", "Strike Out", "Highlight" and "Pop-up Note" annotations. All forms can be deleted, with the exception of "Caret".
Confirmed for the git/master of Okular/Poppler.

Allow for the deletion of Caret annotations Seems poppler just renders them fine, so we set them to externally rendered and allow annotation FIXED-IN: KDE Applications 15.08 M +1 -0 core/document.cpp M +1 -0 generators/poppler/annots.cpp http://commits.kde.org/okular/1da3c424d123d6ffc60f021353030bb15dc66973
