I am reading a book with evince(version 3.30.1 on ubuntu 18.10) but find its notation function does not work properly

enter image description here

The source pdf file is in good quality because okular functions nicely.

I prefer the smooth design of evince than okular.

How could configure it to get a good annotation tool?

It appears this has to do with Poppler, which is not really a part of Evince, and thus has not been fixed yet. It's caused on older pdfs by a mismatch in sizing between parts of the pdf format. For a workaround, I just print the pdf to file, and replace the original file with the printed one, since that seems to fix the mismatch. You could also try other pdf readers.

    Printing-to-file works!! This is such a life-saving trick, at least for now. Thanks! Mar 4, 2021 at 7:16
