It used to be that Okular saved the annotations in an external file
(located at ~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata or similar), I think as an
XML file (if memory serves me well). You can still do that, but as of some
recent version of Okular (0.15? which you might need to compile yourself,
depending on your Linux distro), you can also save the annotations and
highlights in the PDF itself (the PDF, not the "okular document").
From the okular docs:
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdegraphics/okular/annotations.html
The long thread, extending back in time five years, about this feature
request, etc
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151614
I am not sure what you mean by "combine the annotations". But if you do
"Save As", you can save the annotations in the PDF itself. You can, I
guess, do both things (save in the external file, and save in the PDF),
but I've never done that.
Note, though, that incorporating annotations in the PDF itself, which
means you use the "Save As", is somewhat of a pain, because by default the
file name and directory are not reasonable, in my opinion; see this
feature request: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319042. (This is why
I now do most of my paper reading/PDF annotation in the tablet, even if I
have no keyboard there).
By the way, as of now (or a month or so back, at most), evince can save
annotations in the PDF itself, but will not highlight.
Best,
R.
