Evince fails to annotate text in right place

  • 772

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

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?

  1. 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.
