As one of the developer of the poppler libraries and one of the long standing
contributor of Okular, I suspect that Albert knows how that part of Okular
works.
For the record, annotations are stored into the PDF. They used to be stored
outside, but then both poppler and okular gained the needed bit to make sure
the annotations were recorded back in the file, according the standard.

If you refer to standard, please make sure to refer to updated ones.
~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata was the location used when Okular was based on
Qt4, which hasn't been the case for the past 6 years
(https://community.kde.org/Applications/16.12_Release_Notes).

In fact the answers to this ^^ also states " This question is obsolete, as
okular stores the annotations by default in the original PDF file (as of
version 1.6.2, but I think the transition has happened earlier yet). "
