| user____ | Hello everyone. I am having trouble copying text from mupdf using the Right-Click selection | 13:39.54 |
| | I manage to select the text but nothing gets copied (either with a middle click or Ctrl-C Ctrl-V) | 13:40.22 |
| | I am using mupdf-gl version 1.12.0 on Manjaro linux | 13:40.43 |
| kens | Possibly there is no text, possibly the text has no ToUnicode and the content which is copied is non-printing. Its impossible to tell without seeing the original PDF file | 13:41.46 |
| user____ | I am trying this will several pdf files, and it is not working. Do you have any file that works for that I could try ? | 13:44.20 |
| kens | Frankly, no. | 13:44.44 |
| user____ | Ok, I will try for instance to generate a basic pdf file using some text editor and see if it works | 13:45.45 |
| | Yes, so I generate a basic pdf file using Libreoffice writer, with some random text. Still not copying | 13:47.23 |
| kens | So, put the ifle somewhere where people can look at it | 13:47.51 |
| | LibreOffice creates really poor PDF files, for what its worth | 13:48.08 |
| user____ | @kens : there it is : https://send.firefox.com/download/68a3261464/#xc13S3mjWgphPGd6f47fAg | 13:56.17 |
| kens | One moment | 13:56.26 |
| | Well, the fonts have ToUnicode CMaps | 13:58.53 |
| user____ | Also, for what it's worth, I have managed copying text used different pdf viewers (epdfview and qpdfview) | 14:00.35 |
| kens | The Lorem Ipsum text copies and pastes for me on the Windows version | 14:00.37 |
| user____ | Okay, yes I have only noticed this issue on my linux setup | 14:00.56 |
| kens | I'll have to pass on that then, I'm not currently in a position to look at the Linux version | 14:01.21 |
| | tor8 ping ^^ | 14:01.27 |
| user____ | Okay then. Thank you for your time @kens ! | 14:02.59 |
| kens | NP stick around, its possible someone who can help will pop up | 14:03.19 |
| user____ | I'll be back later, thanks ! | 14:04.45 |
| kens | OK you can check the logs too, its possible someone will write a reply while you are gone | 14:05.03 |
| tor8 | user____: did you build mupdf yourself or are you using a system package? | 14:06.23 |
| kens | Sorry tor8 he's just gone | 14:06.36 |
| tor8 | if the latter, they are possibly using stock freeglut (not our enhanced version) which does not support the clipboard. | 14:06.48 |
| kens | Ah, that could be a reasonable explanation, especially why it only seems to affect him on Linux | 14:07.12 |
| avih | tor8: re quicksort for jsarray, reposting the implementation, comments? https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9084935 | 15:27.17 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2018/05/09)>>> | |
