Finally it arrived. With the Okular coming with KDE SC 4.9 (currently in beta status) and poppler 0.20, annotations in PDF can now saved in Okular and shared with other PDF readers (tested in acroread).
Previously, I knew I could use wine applications; I knew I could use complicated tools like pdfedit; I knew I could edit PDF as drawings and then export; I knew on Evince PDF can be annotated (limited support, cannot remove, sometimes annotations can get lost). But this is the first time that PDF annotation is available for real usage on Linux.
For me, this was the last thing (except gaming) that one could easily do in Windows and not in Linux. Now the gap is filled :)
