            Bug ID: 105326
           Summary: Add support for pdf tooltip!
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Some PDf files have 'tooltip' feature on them. For an example document, see the
section 3.2 (\pdftooltip command) of the 'package documentation' file on this
website (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfcomment). 

I tested this using the aformentioned .pdf file and various PDF readers. It
worked perfectly with Microsoft Edge (Windows), SumatraPDF (Windows, Wine on
Linux and macOS), Adobe Acrobat Reader (Windows and macOS), and Foxit reader
(Windows, Linux, and macOS). But not with Evince. (Actually I couldn't find any
Linux-native reader that support this tooltip feature.) An Evince developer
told me that this is because Poppler doesn't support API for tooltips
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793986).
