Problem
Accidently, the file x.pdf
which was a book with a lot of annotations created by Okular
is deleted. Annotations, however, are present in /home/user/.var/app/org.kde.okular/data/okular/docdata/
. I have the raw file (annotation-less file) of x.pdf
.
Question
How to associate existing annotations with the raw x.pdf
?
Problem Details
Actually I didn't delete the file myself; I was reading the book, I added some annotations as usual; when I wanted to save the changes, Okular
hanged up; I closed it, then the file was not there in its directory....it got completely disappeared.
Tested Workarounds
I have used testdisk
; it doesn't found anything as my partition is NTFS
. Therefore I used ntfsundelete
which also was unsuccessfull, i.e. it didn't find my deleted file.
I suspect this is going to get a lot of downvotes, but
Isn't it easier to restore files with TestDisk?
