Bug ID: 413819
Summary: highlight annotation not carried over to pdfjs
Product: okular
Version: 1.8.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: ghavami...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Saving a odf that has been highlighted in Okular 1.8.2 on linux and windows,
with the yellow highliter, and corresponding note (on double clicking the
highighted text) filled in and saved;
when this file is opened in pdf.js on (in my case) firefox browser, the
highlight colour is gone,
but the corresponding note is retrievable and present.
Opening the same okular annotated document in both foxit and adobe, preserve
both the highlight and associated note as expected.(as a comparison)
Further comparison, highlight annotation and associated note made in either
foxit and/or adobe and then opening the file in pdfjs veiwer, preserve both the
highlight and associated note as expected, made in those respective pdf
viewers.
Here's the most interesting part... once the above action (highliting and note)
is made in okular, as descirbed above, saved and opened in pdfjs, not showing
highlight in pdfjs (but note preserved), and then loaded in foxit, to make a
new completely separate highlight and note, [nothing to do with the okular
annotation] and then reopened in pdfjs, the okular highlight is now magically
visible.
Something in the way foxit saved the annotation has modified the anotation from
okular...
I noted the yellow boxes for the associated note in okular, do not have the
word "highlight" in their top corner; which i initially thought was a cosmetic
difference but perhaps is related to the was popller and okular handle and save
these.
This is of some importance to me, not least because it would be nice to have
unified behavious across the board, but also I do use annotation software
online and the poppler annotation would idealy be carried over for the purposes
of continuity.
Many thanks for your work on this, okular is fantastic. If I had a further
comment, it would be around maybe adding a line from higlight to note
anotation, like in the proprietary software, useful when many notes opened, and
perhaps a smaller yellow note size (in terms of screen realestate), for similar
reasons.
