[evince] PDF files with "notes"

[Dave Davey <daved windclimber id au>]

I am an editor for a scientific organisation.  When I receive corrections
to proofs of papers, these are often in the form of PDFs with "notes" inserted
by Acrobat.

Acroread displays these well.  The positions in a file are clearly marked
and the content, which can be verbose, appears in a popup, from which
text can be grabbed.

Now that Acroread for Linux is no longer supported by Adobe it would be
good if evince could consistently display such PDFs and make available
the notes in a useful manner.  Unfortunately the notes inserted by
some versions of Acrobat are all but invisible using evince, i.e. the
position is indicated only by a small insert mark, and no popup is
available.

My first question is:  Is this a problem in the evince code, or it it
entirely in libpoppler?  Can I usefully send an example PDF to someone?

thanks

Dave
