I'm trying to view my advisor's comments on a PDF of a manuscript. He's made comments using Adobe software in the past, and I've been able to use evince or okular to view them. Now neither works, and I'm kind of at a loss for what to do. Is there a way to view PDF comments on Ubuntu 20.04?

I'm happy to provide any supporting information, but other than that I'm on 20.04 and have up-to-date apt installed versions of Okular and Evince I don't know what else to say. Note also that this response does not actually resolve my issue, which is with viewing someone else's comments, not making comments someone else can read.

You can try your luck with Master PDF Editor, which is considered as one of the best free (not open-source) PDF editors for highlighting, annotating and adding/reading comments on PDF files.

To install it, download the .deb package 64 bit - For CentOS/RedHat 7.x, Ubuntu 16.x - 20.x from here and save it (e.g. in your ~/Downloads).

Then open your terminal and run:

sudo apt install ~/Downloads/master-pdf-editor-5.6.80-qt5.x86_64.deb

If you haven't downloaded the package in ~/Downloads, change ~/Downloads to your actual download path in the above command.
