I opened a pdf file with a form that I had filled with an earlier version of okular and got the message "This document contains annotations or form data that were saved internally by a previous Okular version. Internal storage is no longer supported. Please save to a file in order to move them if you want to continue to edit the document." It is not clear at all what is meant by ‘internal storage’. I first thought it was ‘internal to the pdf’. It is only after searching on-line that it referred to ‘internal to okular configuration files’ *external* to the file. (I didn't even know okular did that. It explains a lot of trouble I had with filling in forms with okular and not being able to get rid of ‘zombie data’.) The current message is totally confusing and should be replaced with something that is not confusing and also indicates where the data is stored ‘internally’. I suggest something like the following: "For this document, annotations or form data were saved by a previous Okular version to the local file "/home/user/.local/share/okular/file.pdf.xml". This type of storage is no longer supported. Please save to a file in order to preserve the annotations and form data; these will be saved inside the pdf file itself."
Agreed, the message is maybe a bit too much for people that know what we're talking about. Your message seems nice, the last sentence can't be "pdf file" since it needs to be generic, so it'll be just "file". And i think "this kind of storage" is a bit better than "this type of storage". What do you think?

Certainly. > And i think "this kind of storage" is a bit better than "this type of > storage". What do you think? No preference, so use what you think fits best. (Thanks for picking this up.)
