It's a bit of a pain, but you can store `~/.local/share/okular/docdata/` in version control or your favourite cloud storage provider, and then you'll get synchronised annotations.
When I say a bit of a pain, I mean it - I switched to Mendeley with great sadness because its mobile application means I can read and annotate papers on my tablet and have it synchronised perfectly with my desktop.
On a semi-related note: the Mendeley mobile application makes selecting text a joy on a touchscreen with a kind of magnifying glass. I really wish it was built into Android system wide.
- blattimwind 8y ago> you can store `~/.local/share/okular/docdata/` in version control What kind of annotations are that? I think GP refers to document annotations, which are stored in the PDF file itself.
- bovine3dom 8y agoAnnotations meaning notes, highlights, etc. If they are stored in the file itself, that's news to me. Last time I used it, Okular didn't modify the actual PDF and considered that a feature.
- blattimwind 8y agoYou have to explicitly save the file after making the annotations. I've been doing this for years with Okular, indeed, Okular having out-of-file annotations is news to me :)
- bovine3dom 8y agoOh, wow. That will make collaboration so much easier. I resorted to Adobe Reader on multiple occasions in the past... Thanks!
