    Status: Open => Answered

Benjamin Eltzner proposed the following answer:
Hi Imad, the annotation feature relies on the corresponding feature in
the Poppler library which was only implemented in version 0.20.1, hence
the info box. However, debian is currently in the process of moving to
poppler 0.22.5
(https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/poppler.html). The new
version of Poppler will enter Jessie as soon as all the depending
packages have been built with the new version in unstable. So the
question will solve itself in the next days.

If you are comfortable with apt-pinning, you can get the even newer
version 0.24.5 from debian experimental. That version of the library is
thread safe and qpdfview makes use of this in the form of multithreaded
rendering. Alternatively, you can use this PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~b-eltzner/+archive/qpdfview-exp which so far
works well with debian, although the packages are built on Ubuntu 12.04.
