Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I opened a djvu file

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

According to the documentation, either ctrl-a and then dragging a box or ctrl
whilst dragging a box should present an option to create either an annotation
or highlight the region.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

This option never appears.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected to be able to create an annotation.

This seems to only affect djvu documents. With PDFs, it works as advertised.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, annotations are a PDF thingy. That you can view djvu with qpdfview
is just an "added gadget", but not all functionality is available.

Can we close this report, or is there anything else you want to see?

Best

Norbert

Hi Norbert,

DjVu documents support annotations, too. So perhaps we can turn this
into two reports:

* at present, the user should get some feedback that qpdfview cannot
   create annotations in djvu
* a wishlist bug that the functionality be added.

Regards

Jeff
