Hi!

Can it be that the new (Okular from Applications 18.12) typewriter annotation tool is what you want?

https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kdegraphics/okular/annotations.html

https://phabricator.kde.org/D15204

"Typewriter features opaque letters on a transparent background, so that it is useful to fill noninteractive forms."

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Viva Okular!

Thank you so much I just noticed this:

It looks like this is a duplicate of:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397991

According to the comment by Tobias, the link mentioned ( https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2018/StatusReports/DileepSankhla ) is exactly what I mean.

This is the same one you kindly referenced Yuri.

So why not make it upstream?

It is already, and will be released with KDE Applications 18.12. If you want to try earlier you can build Okular master.
