The confusing thing is that they're called "inline notes" in Okulars manual, and they're represented as class TextAnnotation (with m_textType == TextAnnotation::InPlace) in Okular and Popplers QT5 frontend. Under the hood poppler generates a real FreeText annotation: # qt5/src/poppler-annotation.cc Annot* TextAnnotationPrivate::createNativeAnnot(::Page *destPage, DocumentData *doc) { // ... PDFRectangle rect = boundaryToPdfRectangle(boundary, flags); if (textType == TextAnnotation::Linked) { pdfAnnot = new AnnotText(destPage->getDoc(), &rect); } else { GooString * da = toAppearanceString(textFont); pdfAnnot = new AnnotFreeText(destPage->getDoc(), &rect, da); // Here it is :-) delete da; } // ... } I assume that what really is missing is the FreeTextTypeWriter behavior. You can check the ISO 32000 PDF standard for FreeTextTypeWriter (IT entry of the FreeText object). You can also fire up okular in gdb and convince yourself $ gdb okular (gdb) b AnnotFreeText::AnnotFreeText (gdb) r # load document, create inline note => we hit popplers AnnotFreeText::AnnotFreeText constructor Thread 1 "okular" hit Breakpoint 1, 0x00007fffce304220 in AnnotFreeText::AnnotFreeText(PDFDoc*, PDFRectangle*, GooString*)@plt () from /tmp/usr/lib/libpoppler-qt5.so.1 (gdb) bt #0 0x00007fffce304220 in AnnotFreeText::AnnotFreeText(PDFDoc*, PDFRectangle*, GooString*)@plt () from /tmp/usr/lib/libpoppler-qt5.so.1 #1 0x00007fffce30d689 in Poppler::TextAnnotationPrivate::createNativeAnnot ( this=0x7fffdc00ccb0, destPage=<optimized out>, doc=<optimized out>) at /home/tobias/workspace/OSScontrib/poppler/qt5/src/poppler-annotation.cc:1880 ... backtrace shortened ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
