| sh4rm4^bnc | Robin_Watts: sounds good. updated README with your text. | 01:21.19 |
| sebras | tor8 (for the logs): I'm seeing that android.widget.View.getLocationOnScreen() returns a position with a negative x coordinate when I go portrait -> landscape -> portrait. The problem is that this is later propagated down to mupdf/jni which causes an exception. need to research this a bit further. | 02:19.22 |
| | not sure what is the correct behaviour here yet. | 02:19.34 |
| Robin_Watts | sebras: You might hope that it's a momentary aberration? | 10:22.01 |
| sebras | Robin_Watts: maybe because it doesnt happrn every time. | 10:49.48 |
| | Robin_Watts: i think what is happening is that the page is too wide for the screen when going from landscape to portrait. | 10:50.34 |
| | this is really ok, but what is problematic is that we ask mupdf to draw starting from x-coordinate -115 so perhaps some offset is wrong somewhere. | 10:51.35 |
| Robin_Watts | sebras: You'd imagine that we should have clipped that draw request away to nothing before it gets that far :( | 10:55.04 |
| sebras | Robin_Watts: if the page is indeed wider than the viewport i guess we should simply have ha positive x0, not a negative one. | 10:57.00 |
| Robin_Watts | sebras: Indeed. | 10:57.20 |
| sebras | Robin_Watts: but it is intermittent in that this doesnt happen evrry time. | 10:57.50 |
| buhtz | hi. some MuPDF developers or users here? | 12:59.41 |
| | I would like to know if I can add/create annotatiions in PDF files with MuPDF. The website says it "supports" annotations and highligthing. But I can not find a way. I am using MuPDF on debian unstable. | 13:01.09 |
| Robin_Watts | buhtz: What version? | 13:02.47 |
| | buhtz: MuPDF is a portable C library for doing PDF(and other file formats) manipulation/rendering. | 13:03.26 |
| | Plus it comes with various simple examples (like viewers for linux, windows and android). | 13:03.43 |
| | The core C library can do things that aren't exposed in the viewers. | 13:03.59 |
| buhtz | Debian says: 1.9a+ds1-2. In the gui I see no way to ask MuPDF for a vesion. "mupdf -v" doesn't exist. | 13:04.26 |
| Robin_Watts | buhtz: Right. So the short answer is that annotation editing is not supported in the viewer on linux. | 13:05.14 |
| | It is supported on the android viewer for example. | 13:05.22 |
| | The core library does it, we've just not exposed it in the linux viewer. | 13:05.35 |
| buhtz | Sorry. I don'T understand what you mean. I did "apt install mupdf". And now it is there. But it doesn't tell me its version. ;) | 13:06.02 |
| tor8 | buhtz: creating annotations works only in the iOS and Android apps | 13:07.46 |
| buhtz | thanks for explanation. So the Debian MuPDF can view annotations but can not create them? | 13:08.14 |
| tor8 | buhtz: there are core APIs to do it using the mupdf library, but those are still a work in progress and should be much improved in one of the next releases (1.11 or 1.12) | 13:08.27 |
| | buhtz: correct. we can display annotations, but only edit and create a subset of annotation types and only on the smartphone apps. | 13:09.04 |
| | that is, we can display annotations everywhere. editing is limited to the apps. | 13:09.25 |
| sh4rm4^bnc | i reckon you guys might now: what is the best modern ebook reader ? i used to have a grayscale e-ink device a couple years, but many ebooks used such small fonts that it was impossible to read them. i had to use a pdf-to-text converter and word macro to generate a new pdf with readable font size. | 16:44.03 |
| Robin_Watts | sh4rm4^bnc: No idea, sorry. I have a nook and a kindle. I like the nook, but it's not a paperwhite screen. | 16:46.24 |
| | I'm not sure you can get paperwhite nooks, so if I was buying again, it'd be paperwhite kindle. | 16:46.55 |
| sh4rm4^bnc | having a paperwhite screen is not a requirement. i even figured these days an android tablet might be the better choice. | 16:47.18 |
| kens | Isn't the Nook dead ? I thought Barnes and Noble had given up on it | 16:47.20 |
| sh4rm4^bnc | a requirement is though that it can use my pirated pdfs lol | 16:47.57 |
| kens | Hmm paparently they are still available | 16:48.02 |
| Robin_Watts | kens: I convert ebooks using calibre, and the nook reads them just fine. | 16:49.49 |
| | I did have mupdf running on the nook at one point. | 16:50.12 |
| kens | I thought they had dropped the Nook, but it appears not | 16:50.17 |
| sh4rm4^bnc | can it read regular pdf from an sd card oslt ? or just stuff bought from a store ? | 16:51.17 |
| Robin_Watts | sh4rm4^bnc: If you root the nook and build mupdf for it, you can read PDFs from the onboard memory or the microSD card. | 17:03.28 |
| | but it doesn't have multi-touch, so zooming is "tricky" :) | 17:03.45 |
| sh4rm4^bnc | the built-in ebook reader app doesnt support pdf's loaded via usb cable or microsd ? | 17:05.33 |
| Robin_Watts | I haven't tried. | 17:06.27 |
| | Prof google says it does. | 17:07.04 |
| sh4rm4^bnc | nice. | 17:07.43 |
