The Python script (annotation-mgr) replaces any annotated pdf by its backed-up original when Okular closes. Thus, permissions and modification time of the original pdf are preserved. However, while the "working copy" of the pdf is being viewed and annotated, yes, that file is writable. BTW, I don't think Okular cares whether or not a pdf file has write permission. If it does not, then when Okular saves annotations it simply changes the write permission (if the user is owner). I'm not clear why you would want the pdf file always non-writable? Perhaps you have simultaneous multiple users viewing and annotating the same pdf and you want each user to save their own annotations? If so, I see no way to do that without changing the Okular code. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
