Argh, filling in a #PDF form with #Evince. I accidentally tick a radio button that I shouldn't have ticked. I now cannot untick it. #Okular seems to have the same problem.

(The form has clearly been authored wrong, since it has 2 separate radio button groups where there should be one, leading to the possibility of having 2 buttons ticked at the same time, but really, I don't want to have to re-fill in the entire form just because nothing will let me undo the selection!)

I stumbled upon a 2300-pages-long PDF document that actually is a fantastic benchmark for slow search performance (1.5 to 5 minutes) in most PDF readers (including GNOME Papers, Evince and Okular)… so I fired up #Sysprof through GNOME Builder to measure the slowness, and reported my findings in #Poppler for all of you performance optimization aficionados: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/-/issues/1660

As I'm doing magazine-style brochure design with #Scribus again lately, I thought I'd report this long-standing #Evince issue in #GNOMEPapers : layout metadata not being respected when opening #PDF documents that explicitly specify they should be viewed as booklets.

Currently, anyone in GNOME receiving a fancy PDF from me would need to intuitively know that they are not meant to be displayed as single pages!

I just discovered #sioyek, a very fast and simple cross-platform PDF viewer that is designed around reading books or scientific papers. I auto-reloads when the file changes, so is well-suited for a #latexmk workflow. Reloading is quasi-instant and also doesn't redraw everything with this dreaded flicker like many other viewers do (looking at you #evince 😑). Right-clicking on an internal link a opens a real, scrollable subwindow preview, nice! 👍

Still amazed that #Firefox's (#LibreWolf's, in my case) built-in pdf.js does a better job doing basic #PDF annotation and signing than #Okular or #Evince.

HOW?!? XD

Kudos to @adamsdesk / @adamsdesk for cluing me in!

#gnome #papers parallel zu #evince installiert. Schon seit Wochen. Funktioniert leider nicht. Kann keine pdf-Dateien öffnen. Der "öffnen" Button macht nix.
:-/

Jemand unter #wayland zum Laufen bekommen?

#niri #opensuse #windowtiling

❓ #Android-Ersatz für #Evince

(#Gnome #Linux)
#Dokumentenbetrachter
#document viewer

👍 #Desktop:
Mit Evince kann ich wunderbar in #pdf-Dateien #Notizen, #Textmarkierung​en und #Lesezeichen einfügen {am besten in einer Arbeitskopie der ursprünglichen pdf-Datei).

Evince gibt es leider nicht als Android-#app. Deshalb die Frage an Euch:
Gibt es eine App, die Evince-Notizen, ... lesen kann? und vielleicht auch bearbeiten?

Kann mir jemand helfen und hat eine Irgendwie weiterführende Idee?
