------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 25 00:40:48 -0800 2006 ------- The PDF specification describes some features that allow a user to interact with the document. Another selection describes how the PDF document will be opened by the reader. The viewer preferences control the way a document should be presented on the screen or be printed, it should be possible to set their values or change their values before exporting to PDF format. It should also be possible to preset the way the PDF document is opened: page only, page with outline, page with outline and thumbnails, full screen. Details The viewer preferences are the following (type of variable, default): a.1 hide the toolbar, (boolean, false) a.2 hide menu bar, (boolean, false) a.3 hide window user interface, (boolean, false) a.4 fit window, (boolean, false), a.5 center window, (boolean,false), a.6 display document title, (boolean, false), a.7 non full screen page mode (valid only when b.4 described down below is active), (list of options, no outline and no thumbnails is the default) a.8 direction (left to right or right to left), PDF v1.3, (two options L2R and R2L, default L2R) a.9 view area, PDF 1.4, from this preference on, see observations, down below, if implemented, (list may be) a.10 view clip, PDF 1.4 a.11 print area, PDF 1.4 a.12 print clip, PDF 1.4 Source: PDF 1.4 reference, section 8.1. The preset of the PDF document opening is as follow (mutually exclusive): b.1 only the document is visible (no outline, no thumbnails), the default b.2 outline visible b.3 thumbnails visible b.4 full screen, with no menu bar, window controls or any other windows visible. In case b.4, the viewer preference a.7 above apply when exiting the full screen mode. Source: PDF 1.4 reference, section 3.6.1. Observations - a change in UI (from present condition =-> tabbed dialog) is needed; - UI for b.1 =-> b.4 a list will do, a.1 =-> a.6 check box, a7 list, a.8 list with two options; - a.7 list active only when b.4 is selected; - preference a.8 seems related to the text flow direction of the document; question: if the flow of the document text is already right to left, should this be set the same as well ? Or this setting must follow the document one ? A brief Openoffice.org document with R2L text would useful for tests. - preferences a.9 =-> a.12 are related to entries in the page object, presently only the /MediaBox element is implemented, so a.9 to a.12 are useless (the only value usefull is the automatic default). To use them the page object should be added other entries: CropBox, BleedBox, etc... - due to the number of parameters that can be set, a reset button may prove useful; - another useful addition would be some control to select a default for the kind of document being exported (i.e. writer, impress, calc, etc...); - on-line help entry should be added to explain the selections. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
