What kind of annotations are that? I think GP refers to document annotations, which are stored in the PDF file itself.

Annotations meaning notes, highlights, etc.
If they are stored in the file itself, that's news to me. Last time I used it, Okular didn't modify the actual PDF and considered that a feature.

You have to explicitly save the file after making the annotations. I've been doing this for years with Okular, indeed, Okular having out-of-file annotations is news to me :)

Oh, wow. That will make collaboration so much easier. I resorted to Adobe Reader on multiple occasions in the past...
Thanks!
When I say a bit of a pain, I mean it - I switched to Mendeley with great sadness because its mobile application means I can read and annotate papers on my tablet and have it synchronised perfectly with my desktop.
On a semi-related note: the Mendeley mobile application makes selecting text a joy on a touchscreen with a kind of magnifying glass. I really wish it was built into Android system wide.
