Bug ID: 464980
Summary: Annotations in rotated PDF not rotated
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version: 22.12.1
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: post+kdeb...@guelker.eu
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Adding an annotation to a rotated PDF results in an unrotated annotation.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rotate a PDF using the View menu
2. Create a text annotation with any content (ALT+5)
3. Witness how the annotation is not in the direction of the view, but of the
original PDF.
OBSERVED RESULT
The annotation is not rotated, that is, it aligns with the original PDF
orientation rather than that of the view.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should be rotated according to the view.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: ArchLinux kernel 6.1.8-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I correct exams, send in by students, using Okular's annotation facility (with
red color, in case this is important). The students are required by the
university to scan them to PDF with whatever means they have at hand. More
often than not, this is their smartphone. As a result, the documents are often
not upright. So I rotate them using Okular's rotation features to view them
upright. When I then use the annotation facility (ALT+5) to add my corrector's
comments to the page, those comments are not placed where I click, but set off,
and they are rotated incorrectly, namely into the direction of the original PDF
file, whereas they should be rotated so they align with the view.
