Bug ID: 469829
Summary: PDF file size increases exponentially after typing in
text using the Typewriter tool and Highlighter
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: echua...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
When I type in text into a PDF file using Okular, or highlight text, the file
size goes up exponentially. A 800kB file will go up to 9MB with just one
Typewriter note. At its worst, I have had a small 3 page file go up to 91 MB
after I typed in notes and highlighted text.
The problem is so bad that I have looked for alternative PDF readers to use,
and am about to delete Okular from my system.
I am not a programmer so I have no idea what you need me to report here or what
"component" I'm supposed to be reporting, only that Okular has become unusable
for me.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Typing in text using Typewriter tool or highlighting text using Highlighter
2. File size increases exponentially
3.
