How to get the newest version of a package installed via apt-get?

How to get the newest version of a package installed via apt-get?

Is there a way to install the latest release of a program other than building it from the source?
I know that the packages/applications in the ubuntu repositories are not always containing the most recent versions of programs to ensure best system stability. However, I would like to have a newer version of the program "Okular". They already released one last October but it is still not upgraded in the repositories.
Is there a way to get it with apt-get? Maybe adding some other "unstable" repositories or using a special parameter?
