[Okular-devel] PDF Annotations (was Re: Possible GSOC project)
Hi, so I've given up on the GSOC project, but I still have some interest in saving annotations from Okular :-) Given that slowly poppler is starting to support editing, it would be a better idea to just continue the work there Unfortunately, I am not sure I would be up to this task. I will try to look at it if I have time, though. I agree that a much better solution is to use poppler, when it has the support. I didn't have much to do on saturday (well, I did, but ... ;-) ) and hacked up a proof of concept short-term solution based on the export interface and PoDoFo. For now it can save basic text annotations. If you think this would be an acceptable _short term_ solution, I would be willing to work on it further. There are some problems though: 1) PoDoFo doesn't yet have a stable api so I have included the full podofo source and I link the popplerGenerator statically to the local version. 2) PoDoFo uses C++ exceptions, so I have enabled them via -fexceptions. I am not sure this is acceptable in KDE code. I am attaching a very rough patch (It isn't cleaned up at all, I will provide a cleaner one if you think this has some potential). Have a nice day, Jonathan The general idea - writing back annotations in PDF documents - is okay. Given that slowly poppler is starting to support editing, it would be a better idea to just continue the work there, instead of read using a library and write using another one. For some reasons, see comment #105 in bug #151614 -- add to that also the fact that you could not have real time sync between what you edit and document saving done by the user. In general, working with a PDF library is a pain, I personally do not look forward in having to deal with two at the same time... Note also we have a system to save modified files (used at the moment only for form fields), see the SaveInterface. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
[Okular-devel] [Bug 263445] Okular doesn't repaint PDF when I drag an annotation across the page
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263445 --- Comment #4 from Albert Astals Cid tsdgeos terra es 2011-05-02 15:07:18 --- So you did not change your okular version and it went from working to not working, why is it an okular bug then? It would seem to me that the bug is somewhere else. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel

Are there any other common culprits that may have caused this odd behavior? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
[Okular-devel] [Bug 272258] New: okular should have rotate left and right shortcuts in the toolbar
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272258 Summary: okular should have rotate left and right shortcuts in the toolbar Product: okular Version: unspecified Platform: Archlinux Packages OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: okular-devel@kde.org ReportedBy: di...@s-tainment.co.za Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS:Linux open pdf with that rotation is incorrect. You want to correct the rotation quickly but the icon is not there. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: You have to go to: view = orientation = rotate left/right This is not very friendly, and slow/confusing to access for normal users. Actual Results: as above Expected Results: You want to correct the rotation quickly but the icon is not there. The clear rotate left/right icon is in the toolbar. :) This is really quick and easy to fix I'm sure and is a nice little useful improvement to this great program. Hope it can be set by default so distro's don't have to do this it's one small thing that makes KDE more usable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
[Okular-devel] [Bug 181290] Landscape pdf prints with wrong orientation when choosing landscape in print dialog
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181290 Reartes Guillermo rtgui...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||rtgui...@gmail.com --- Comment #74 from Reartes Guillermo rtguille gmail com 2011-05-02 18:42:51 --- I am using KDE 4.6.2, Fedora 15 beta. I noticed that okular is unable to detect the orientation of some (landscape) pdf properly, then i found about this bugreport... PTST_Landscape01.pdf -- single-page landscape document PTST_Portrait01.pdf --- single-page portrait document Okular: * Print PTST_Landscape01.pdf (default - LANDSCAPE) - BAD ( !! a landscape doc in portrait !!) * Print PTST_Landscape01.pdf (orientation to PORTRAIT) - GOOD (! Incorrect behaviour !) * Print PTST_Portrait01.pdf (default - PORTRAIT) - GOOD * Print PTST_Portrait01.pdf (orientation to LANDSCAPE) - BAD (Correct behaviour) LibreOffice * Print PTST_Landscape01.pdf (default - LANDSCAPE) - GOOD * Print PTST_Landscape01.pdf (orientation to PORTRAIT) - BAD (Correct behaviour) * Print PTST_Portrait01.pdf (default - PORTRAIT) - GOOD * Print PTST_Portrait01.pdf (orientation to LANDSCAPE) - BAD (Correct behaviour) I just configured LibreOffice-Writer as the default pdf application as a workaround. My Print Task Setting -- Orientation -- Automatic I tried with it, but when i changed the default 'auto', the option 'auto' just disappeared and cannot be re-selected, so i left it in 'portrait'. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel

Mine is less than a third of the width of my screen. But I have unusually high res... Also badly rotated documents should be the exception, not the rule, if you get lots of them complain to the creator ;-) Alright, it was worth a try, and I suppose most PDF etc viewers don't have it either.
