software installation - How to install latest version of Okular on Ubuntu 14.04 (avoiding source install)?

Is there a way to install Okular in its latest version on Ubuntu 14.04? So far the default Ubuntu repository supports a really old version of Okular (offered by KDE Applications version 4.13.3), as one can confirm by running:


apt-cache show okular | grep Version

The latest version now is 1.6 (offered by KDE Applications version 18.12.2).


I know that someone can install the latest version from source code (as described in Okular's official webpage), but I want to avoid that and get an easier way to install.


I have also searched for Ubuntu 14.04 binary repositories on launchpad and I haven't found Okular in its latest version.


Am I doomed to update to a newer Ubuntu release to get the latest version of Okular, or is there a way to stack with my beloved Ubuntu 14.04 for a little longer before they get deprecated?
