Using okular
If you are using KDE 4 (e.g., with Kubuntu 9 Intrepid) you can use the built-in
okular
document viewer to annotate pdf files using the
review
mode. Annotations are saved in an
xml
file inside
~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata
so only other
okular
users can view them, and you will need to give them the appropriate
xml
file to install in the aforementioned directory. You can't have
okular
save the pdf file after annotating because this will not save the annotations.
