| fggt | Hello, everyone! | 05:48.54 |
| | I hava a question about MuPDF. | 05:49.37 |
| | http://rghost.net/8ZCXhlfHx/image.png | 05:50.41 |
| | What is the meaning of this yellow speech bubble and "unsaved changes" message box? | 05:51.14 |
| | And how to get rid of them? | 05:51.22 |
| kens | fggt the yellow speech bubble look slike an annotation, though its hard to be sure from a screenshot. I suspect MuPDF is offering to save changes because your PDF file does not conform to the specification, and MuPDF has fixed it for you. Of course its not possible to tell without a copy of the original PDF file. Whenever asking questions about a PDF file its best to share the file itself. | 08:33.47 |
| fggt | kens: http://rghost.net/6XxJRHgpX | 08:41.57 |
| | Here's the file. | 08:42.02 |
| kens | 1 second | 08:42.09 |
| | which page am I to look at ? | 08:42.44 |
| | 2338 is a little many to just flip through | 08:42.56 |
| fggt | 1st page. | 08:43.11 |
| kens | OK well there is an annotatoin on page 1 | 08:43.20 |
| | It says 'About this document...' | 08:43.41 |
| fggt | Why MuPDF shows only bubble? | 08:44.38 |
| kens | THere is clearly a problem in MuPDF< its drawing the annotaion icon *way* too big :-) | 08:44.39 |
| fggt | How to clear PDF of annotations? | 08:45.23 |
| kens | I suspect that MuPDF simply doesn't support showing the text in ths kind of annotation | 08:45.24 |
| | You can't clear 'MuPDF' of annotaons, you would have to remove them from the PDF file. | 08:45.41 |
| fggt | That's what I asked :-) | 08:45.56 |
| kens | Sorry, so you did | 08:46.11 |
| | I was looking at another monitor | 08:46.17 |
| | You would have to use a PDF editing package, bascially, I don't htnk MuPDF has any means for removing annotatoins. | 08:46.36 |
| | I'm guessing that MuPDF wants to add an Appearance stream for the annotaon on page 1, whihc is why it wants to 'save changes'. | 08:47.17 |
| | I have to say I'm not a MuPDF developer, you'd be better to come back during UK office hours and someone may be better able to help you | 08:47.44 |
| fggt | Are they working today? | 08:49.02 |
| kens | Probably not, its a weekend | 08:49.12 |
| | Yeah the annotation in object 1288 has no appearance stream, MuPDF will have generated one (the huge icon) and it wants to save the PDF file with the Appearance stream embedded. | 08:50.12 |
| fggt | Can you fill a bug for me, please? :-) | 08:51.01 |
| kens | Not me, I'm kind of busy, but feel free to do so | 08:51.14 |
| | Offering to save changes isn't a bug anyway, its deliberate design. | 08:53.45 |
| | As is generating an appearance stream for an annotaion which is missing. THe only nbug would be the size of the icon | 08:54.07 |
| | And since the appearance is missing, teh spec says that a conforming reader can do anything, including doing nothing. So techncially its not incorrect, though it is very silly. | 08:54.45 |
| fggt | That's a bad behaviour to suggest to save changes that user didn't did. | 08:57.17 |
| kens | Acrobat does exactly the same | 08:57.29 |
| fggt | Bad Acrobat. | 08:57.44 |
| kens | And it is *offering* to save the changes, not saving them | 08:57.46 |
| | Personally I owul dprefer it to explain which changes it wants to save, but as I said, I'm not a MuPDF developer | 08:58.16 |
| fggt | But all I want is to just press Q and get away with the PDF, not reading saving messages and pressing 'no'. | 08:59.40 |
| | :-) | 08:59.42 |
| kens | <shrugs> | 08:59.55 |
| fggt | Thanks for help, though. | 09:00.52 |
| kens | You're welcome, feel free to come back nad talk to the real developers | 09:01.09 |
| fggt | They'll read my wrathful bug-report. | 09:02.12 |
| fggt | just kidding. | 09:02.17 |
| kens | :-D | 09:02.19 |
| | Nothing I say is definitive, its not my project. The MuPDF developers may well take a different slant on thngs | 09:02.45 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2015/04/26)>>> | |
