Re: [evince] Where are bookmarks/annotations saved?

They are saved using GIO metadata, see:

http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2009/06/24/data-about-data/

You can get the bookmarks from a file with the following command:

$ gvfs-info -a "metadata::evince::bookmarks" <document-uri>

for example:

$ gvfs-info -a "metadata::evince::bookmarks" hig-2.0.pdf

attributes:
  metadata::evince::bookmarks: [(12, 'Page: 12'), (13, 'pagina 12 +
  1'), (153, 'Página 154 — 2.3. Choosing Shortcut Keys'), (15, 'Página
  16 — 4. Make Your Application Consistent'), (107, '15.1. Sortable
  Trees'), (0, 'Página 1')]

I'm not sure, but I think metadata info is stored by gvfs in
~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata so you could just backup that folder.
