tor7 marcosw: bugzilla doesn't have OS entries for iOS 6 and iOS 7. is it possible to merge OS entries (so we can have just one iOS category)?08:14.33 
ezio hello08:44.45 
ghostbot what's up, ezio08:44.45 
Guest22452 I'm developing an android app free, with muPdf08:45.20 
  and I've a dubt about a feature.08:45.37 
  After the pdf was loaded, I need to reload a page (the one which the tool is showing)08:47.02 
  because, it is changed on disk.08:47.22 
  How can I reload (or update) the page?08:47.45 
kens Guest22452 : If the page has changed, the probability is the entire PDF has changed, so you need to reload the entire file.08:47.53 
Guest22452 yes, the pdf is changed, but is changed only on that page. There is a feature, in our tool, made with other code than mupdf (because mupdf doesn't support it), that modify the page in the current view08:50.07 
  anybody has an idea?08:53.22 
kens For a definitive answer you'll need to wait an hour or so for the MuPDF developers, but like I said, you will need to relaod the PDF file in my opinion.08:54.32 
Guest22452 well, kens, I will wait the mupdf developers.08:55.07 
tor7 Guest22452: look at the desktop app for an example of how that feature can work08:55.15 
Guest22452 However, the problem is08:55.17 
tor7 pressing 'r' in the desktop viewer reloads the entire pdf, but keeps the view on the original page08:55.33 
Guest22452 if the pdf loaded is 600 pages, with images08:55.40 
tor7 page number*08:55.40 
Guest22452 the loading is slow08:55.50 
kens TYou need to remember that PDF files are a\ binary format, with cross-=references, if the page changes, then its size will be different and all the cross-references will have changed08:55.51 
tor7 if one page has changed, odds are everything in the file (cross references, object numbering, etc) have also changed08:56.20 
Guest22452 if I have already loaded the document, reloading only a page (if it is possible), is a lazy task (to power performance)08:56.46 
kens Guest22452 : It *isn't* possible, that's the point08:57.00 
  However it should not be a lengthy process to reread the cross-reference table08:57.37 
Guest22452 ok kens09:08.37 
  yes, you are right09:08.56 
  changing the corssreferences lead to a reload of the whole document09:09.38 
kens Yes, that's the nature of PDF I'm afraid09:09.51 
  And changing the page contents will almost certainly change its size, which means it needs a new xref.....09:10.16 
sahil__ how to use init function of gsdll09:22.05 
kens RTFM09:22.13 
  tor7 Robin_Watts and paulgardiner (for the logs) can someone, probably Paul, get back to the enquiry on support this morning about MuPDF please ? Regarding the probable application size in the first instance, but we should also look at their other requirements. Possibly a job for the staff meeting.09:37.43 
Robin_Watts kens: paulgardiner doesn't generally work fridays.09:44.55 
kens Robin_Watts : ah well09:45.02 
Robin_Watts I will answer the email when I return in a couple of hours unless tor gets there first.09:45.12 
kens OK no problem, the likely application size with annotation support is what I think is the urgent one, but obviously reviewing the other requirements would be good09:45.42 
  OK I'm off for a swim (pool is closed tomorrow for a gala), I'll be back in a couple of hours.09:51.12
