Bug ID: 334735
Summary: Okular review/annotation tools lack essential features
for real-world review processes
Classification: Unclassified
Product: okular
Version: 0.19.1
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Reporter: sergio.calleg...@gmail.com
The review/annotation tools that are currently available in okular are not
sufficient to make it up to the task of supporting 'standard' review practices
used for editorial activities.
Essential missing features are those normally marked as review/comment 'text
tools' in competing programs such as foxit pdf reader.
1. Delete text
2. Insert text
3. Replace text
Note that
1. Can be worked around. To this aim, it is sufficient to manually configure
the annotation tools, adding a new annotation tool named 'Delete text' with
type 'text markup' and appearance type 'strike-out', and appearance color
'red'. Yet, it would be much better not to need any configuration activity and
directly have such a tool pre-configured in the default palette of annotation
tools.
2. Appears to be completely missing. This should insert a little graphical
object, shaped like a caret ^, typically blue, pointing at the place where the
reviewer recommends the insertion of some text. The text to be inserted should
go in a pop-up note associated to the shape.
3. Is also missing, but once 2 is in place should be easy to implement. In
fact, this is just a shorthand to do the strike-out operation and the insertion
of the caret at once, placing the caret right after the end of the text block
that has been stroke-out.
For further details, see what other competing software does. Foxit pdf editor
for windows is a good example to test and can be easily tried in Linux since it
runs fine with wine.
Reproducible: Always
