Apart from PDF files, Okular allows you to view a great number of file
formats, such as PostScript, several image formats, OpenDocument format
(ODF), OpenDocument text (ODT), some eBook formats (ePub), and even
Microsoft* Compiled HTML Help (CHM). Okular also provides support for
bookmarks, annotations, form fields, multimedia content, and rotation of
pages.

Documents that need to be shared or printed across platforms can be saved
as PDF (Portable Document Format) files, for example, in the
OpenOffice.org suite. View them with Okular, the default KDE document
viewer.
</p><p>
Start Okular from the main menu or press <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">F2</span> and enter
<span class="command"><strong>okular</strong></span>. To open a document, select <span class="guimenu">File</span>+<span class="guimenu">Open</span> and choose
the desired file from the file system. Navigate through the document by
using the navigation icons at the top or bottom of the window. Depending
on which icon you click on the navigation panel on the left, the sidebar
either shows a table of Contents, a Thumbnail view of each page, the
Reviews for this file, or your Bookmarks for this file. To filter for any
text listed in the sidebar or the overall document, enter a string into
the input field at the top of the sidebar. If you want to select and copy
text or images from the file in Okular, click the Selection icon in the
toolbar and select one of the options from the context menu. Click the
Browse icon to switch back to browsing the document. Working with
Bookmarks and Annotations With Okular, you can review a document by
highlighting certain text parts or adding annotations or bookmarks that
Okular then attaches to the file in form of metadata. Note that the
annotations and markers you add are not stored within the document, so
you cannot print them or pass them on to other users.

To create an annotation for a page, press <span class="keycap">F6</span> and select
one of the annotation tools from the toolbar that appears. The annotation
is added to the list of Reviews and is flagged with the login name of the
user who created it. Use the icons at the bottom of the sidebar to group
the annotations by page, by author or to show the annotations for the
current page only.
