I > always have to save every minute if I want to be able to come back We were considering this feature during development, however it came out that it would be to complex to accomplish it because of complexity of the pdf internal data structures and their relations. As you have mentioned, some kind of undo can be achieved via "Save as new revision" function with revisions handling. I don't think that this will change in near future, because there seems to be much bigger problems to be solved at the moment (performance, stability etc). > > -Partial highlight: I was not able to highlight only a part of a line, > the whole line is in facts highlighted. Is there a way to do it? > Otherwise this could be really usefull too! This is inherent "problem" of the PDF document format which describes text by text operators. A text is not organized into any lexical entities according specification. Programs which creates pdf documents are absolutely free in this direction. Sometimes you can find one text operator for whole line, word or parts of different words. Our highlight feature works upon text operators and it doesn't care much about what is inside. > > -Is the documentation avalaible in a pdf format from the website? Both user and design documentation are available in source package in the doc directory (doc/user, doc/design - in docbook xml format) This is the source for html pages available on http://pdfedit.petricek.net/ If you have fop installed on your box, also pdf files should be generated (but I am not sure about current state, because we had some problems with transformation to the pdf and I am still not able to generate it on my installation - some exceptions from fop).
