Seems so in one screenshot. Will check it out. However, when I went
thro' the FAQs, I got these.
Why the newly added annotations are not in my PDF document?
Short answer: Okular cannot change the annotations in PDF documents.

Longer answer: the library used for reading PDF documents (Poppler)
does not allow changing the annotations inside a PDF document. Also,
due to the fact that Okular allows you to annotate in any kind of
document it supports (even if that format does not support
annotations), Okular saves the annotations internally in the local
data directory for each user.

[Up to Questions]

How can I annotate a document and send it to a friend/collegue/etc?
Since KDE 4.2, Okular has the "document archiving" feature. This is an
Okular-specific format for carrying the document plus various metadata
related to it (currently only annotations).
You can save a "document archive" from the open document by choosing
"File -> Export As -> Document Archive".
To open an Okular document archive, just open it with Okular as it
would be eg a PDF document.
