I have a problem with a laptop that has kubuntu 11.10 and I am going to format it. The problem is that I have many Okular annotations stored in and I can't find where Okular stores them so I can get a backup. Anyone knows exactly where are annotations being stored? Is it possible to store them in a Dropbox folder and link Okular to that folder so I can share the annotations with all my computers? How can I do that? I have found a similar thread to superuser.com but it didn't help. Thanks in advance!

1Have you tried saving a ´´document archive´´ from the open document by choosing File --> Export As --> Document Archive?– MitchMay 27, 2012 at 11:13

1Doesnt this mean i have to do it for every document i have? Seems to work if u have 2-3 docs only. I add annotations to ebooks almost every day so it would be awesome to share the annotation save file in a dropbox folder so evey pc that i own can automatically sync the annotations.– BugShotGGMay 27, 2012 at 11:32

To share an annotated document with someone else, you'll need to export it as an Okular document archive from the File menu.
The annotations are kept in /home/username/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata
.
Hope that this will help.

Is this what i have to do :
sudo ln -s /home/username/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata /home/username/dropbox/docdata
I have to link the new destination somehow right? May 28, 2012 at 17:47 -
You must move the actual docdata folder into Dropbox, and then create a symlink in ~/.kde/share/apps/okular. If you do it the other way around, Dropbox will erase the symlink with the actual directory, and nothing will be synced anymore. So, e.g.:
mv ~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata ~/Dropbox && ln -s ~/Dropbox/docdata ~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata

This is exactly what I was looking for ! Thanks blujay! I can finally have my annotations everywhere without carrying paper. Make sure the "destination" computer also has an empty docdata directory before linking.– user139414Mar 11, 2013 at 13:50
