Description William Jon McCann 2012-12-06 21:08:25 UTC 
While chatting about annotations in #evince. We thought it might be nice to have a simple way to toggle the visibility of all annotations on and off. This can make it easier to read the core document when there are many notes. I noticed that youtube has a way to toggle note overlays on videos. Something like that could be nice.

I think we'd like to look at using this in Documents.

we need a patch for poppler that I will upload as soon as I can test it in poppler glib demo
Comment 2 José Aliste 2012-12-08 13:39:38 UTC 
The patch exporting the functionality to the poppler-glib frontend plus the test on poppler-glib-demo are now in

Comment 3 José Aliste 2012-12-08 14:07:05 UTC 
Please observe that setting the POPPLER_ANNOT_FLAG_HIDDEN on an annotation will prevent it from rendering, but setting flags WILL change the modified field of the annotation.
Comment 4 Carlos Garcia Campos 2012-12-08 16:21:30 UTC 
The problem of changing the flags is that it affects the document itself, if you save a copy and open it in any other pdf viewer annots will be hidden, I'm not sure that's what we want. There's a callback in poppler to decide whether to render or not the annotations, that doesn't affect the document. It's used in render_for_printing, to print a document without the annotations, for example.
