Re: Error on help page "Save a copy of an annotated PDF"

[Torokhov Sergey <torokhov-s-a yandex ru>]

Thank you for so quick response! 

As you mentioned  the evince documentation is quite outdated.
Also there is a page about "Removing annotations" in PDF: 
https://help.gnome.org/users/evince/stable/annotations-delete.html.en

There is a bug (feature request) concerning this case:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649044

It looks like it was resolved nearly before Gnome 3.14 release, 
so I don't know exactly what last Evince version wasn't able to delete annotations.

Today I tried Gnome 3.14 Live-iso image and it seems that Evince of this Gnome 3.14 release is able of 
removing created annotations.  If I'm not mistaken.

The description on the help page mentioned above in this page could mislead some of users that want to add/ 
edit / remove annotations to their pdf-documents.

Please, correct "Removing annotations" help page too If it's possible and please make the indication of 
Evince version where this feature request was resolved as many Linux distributives currently use Gnome 3.10 
in their stable releases.

Thank you in advance.
