Pasting Graphics Problem in Okular

[algarues]

I see that in Okular if I copy an image on the clipboard,
The paste functionality does not activate in the “Edit” menu.

Am I missing something?
Is there a workflow to paste an image or a snapshot in a PDF using Okular?

Thanks for any help

Possibly because Okular is not an editing tool.

While it provides means of annotating notes and highlighting texts, it cannot be used to alter the original content beyond recognition.

This.

okular is the wrong tool for the job. You need something like perl-pdf-builder (from the Manjaro repositories) or masterpdfeditor (from the AUR) for that.

If you opt for the latter, there is also masterpdfeditor-free, which leaves out the watermark.

There’s also LibreOffice Draw. It is quite complete.

@algarues Yes you can cut Copy and Paste any images you like into or out of a PDF with LibreOffice Draw.
