As typical for KDE, this "local" version of Okular does interfere with the official one from the distribution, which is partly changed to the new version even when starting the old binary (presumably this is due to KDE's system-wide registration of "parts" or some such component). The new version of Okular identifies as "Version 21.03.70". I have installed under /usr/local/ and created a start script okular-sign with the variable definitions as in the TU Dresden manual.

I have completed the installation using the instructions in the script (watch out for truncated lines in the online-preview!) on KDE Neon 5.20 (based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) using Poppler as of Commit 407293bf and Okular as of Commit 110ccd61 (future versions should of course continue to work, so this is just for full reproducibility). Instructions and a build script are provided with the TU Dresden post.

As of December 2020, it is already possible to compile the current development version of Okular and the Poppler PDF library locally to obtain the feature. The feature is expected to appear in releases from April 2021 (Okular v21.04, Poppler v21.01). Details are found in a post by TU Dresden, who has sponsored the implementation of this feature.

Unfortunately, none of the tools is currently maintained and none can be found in Ubuntu packages. The total list of opensource tools available for your purpose is: You might then expect Ubuntu PDF manipulation tools like qpdf, which provides encryption, or pdftk, which provides watermarking, to provide signing features too, but, no, they don't. You might expect Ubuntu document signing tools like qdigidoc or gpg would do, but no, they don't play with PDF signatures. It requires a private key in a p12 file though (not compatible with SmartCard).
