Description daveski 2016-10-16 18:18:53 UTC
I am not able to highlight PDF text in KDE, using a fully patched PCLINOS.  I reinstalled Okular, but no joy.  Okular lists 9 different Annotations, but highlight and underline don't work for me, although the others do.  After using F6 to display the annotations, highlight quickly clicks off without allowing any text selection.  Any suggestions?  Thanks,  David



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Accessed a PDF file I received.
2.  Hit F6 to display options
3.  Clicked on Highlight icon

Actual Results:  
Highlight icon appeared, then flashed off, not allowing a text selection to be highlighted.

Expected Results:  
The text to be in a highlighted color (yellow).

It is possible that this can be some kind of file protection. Does this happen for every file or just for one file? Can you attach an example?

Another possibility is an old version of poppler library in your system. Can you run "pdftotext -v" in a console and post the results?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Dave, Can you provide answers to Yuri's questions? These annotations work fine for me with recent versions of Okular, so we'll need more information to pinpoint the issue.
