 Hello,

 I observed that okular failes to open the "Document Archive" filetype one
 can create from within the application by selecting "File -> Export As ->
 Document Archive".

 The error message presented by okular is "Could not open
 /Path/to/file.ext"
 (where /Path/to/file.ext is an arbitrary filename).
 The message being displayed in Console.app reads

 {{{
 okular(1263)/okular (app) Okular::Document::openDocument: No plugin for
 mimetype '"application/zip"'.
 }}}

 This format is used to exchange pdf documents with annotations created by
 okular between okular users.

 However, okular.app is able to produce that filetype following the
 procedure mentioned above and it opens fine using okular on a linux box.

 I think providing the ability to read .okular files would be a great
 enhancement for users working with pdf annotations on different OS which
 do not support the Acrobat Reader X.

 Maybe introducing a variant would be a feasible solution until popplers
 pdf annotation support becomes stable?

 Thank your for keeping up the excellent work on macports!

 OS: Mac OS 10.6.8 / Xcode 3.2.6
