SUMMARY saved Bookmarks ("Lesezeichen") in Okular have a reference to the file and not only to a page number. If I move the file and want to go to a bookmarked page I got an error STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT pressing bookmark should go to that page even if file was moved. Bookmarks should only reference to page number SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Yes, you moved the file, the old file where the bookmark points doesn't exist anymore. There's nothing we can do.
Hi, almost all other pdf editors (windows and Linux) store the bookmarks in the respective pdf file. Okular is the best PDF reader and editor in Linux. It is really a pity that okular doesn't save bookmarks in the file. I'm not able to send the file via email to somebody else together with the bookmarks. Please, please change this. It is so important to have the industry standard in this respect. Thank you so much!
Show me a single PDF file with bookmarks in it. PDF doesn't support bookmarks because it makes no sense. A bookmark is an external pointer to a place in the file. I.e. you open Okular without any file and you can look at your bookmarks to see which file to open, they have inherently be outside the file. Or maybe you are just using the wrong terminology and mean annotations and not bookmarks. In that case annotations are stored inside the file and thus you can send them to whoever you want (unless you're using ancient Okular).

the bookmarks were created with MasterPDF in Linux and with pdfxchange in Windows 10. Actually if you open the pdf file in Firefox (Linux LMDE4) you can see the bookmarks as well

Ok! This is really an issue. Otherwise I can't use okular to send my friend a paper with 200 pages with relevant bookmarks. In my opinion this feature is an industry standard. Thank you!!!

He is not able to understand the difference between Okular bookmarks (which are like your browser bookmarks) and the table of contents of a file. So it's a wrong duplicate, anyhow we're not going to add table of contents editing features
A serious pdf reader should offer bookmark functionality like the OP and gazillions of users expect it. The "keditbookmarks" GUI standalone app has import / export functions. Some find/replace functinality for the document's path, e.g. using /home/bookmk ~/documents/ could tremendously enhance the power of Okular. For the moment, manual find/replace of the path does already allow users to maintain big bookmark-collections across machines and what not. 2 collaborating users would, however, use a standardized absolute path such as /home/bookies or make that a symbolic link (via: ln -s src targ ) into /~/documents in a particular language (such as: ~/Dokumente/ ) Worth repeating that without powerful portable bookmarks, which clearly are possible, Okular is not half the man it used to be in user's perception.
but not even keditbookmark's own KHELP does point out the whole power of KDE bookmarks - like right there in KHELP ! But that will not deter power users from finding it out...

@fire: I do not understand what you want to say (and also do not understand keditbookmark), but I think that should rather be commented in Bug 380330.
