Public bug reported: Hi,
I just got a huge technical documentation from work, it weights 600MB and is divided into many chapters and sections. But instead of being a single huge PDF file, it is split in many individual (1,075) smaller PDF files, one for each section and sub-section. In the index when you click on a chapter, it automatically loads the appropriate PDF file and displays it in the same window. So, to the user, it is completely transparent and behaves as though it were a single huge PDF file rather than a multitude of smaller PDF's. Along side the PDF files, there is a special folder named "index", which contains 9 sub-folders, around 35 files in all, weighting around 10MB. I assume it contains all the data to help the PDF viewer organise everything as required. The problem I have with Evince is that every time I click in the index to jump to a different section, it opens the corresponding PDF file in a new window instead of loading it in the original window. This makes navigating very painful, and breaks the intended integrity of the document. I am hoping it is fairly easy to fix ? If not, you may contact the developers of "Okular", it is KDE's document viewver, Evince's KDE counterpart. I tried to open my document with half a dozen different PDF viewer, and Okular was the only one that behaved as expected/intended. I would rather use Evince though (being a long time Gnome addict)... The document being rather confidential, I am unfortunately unable to upload it, so if you need to try things out, please tell me what to do and I will execute ! ;-) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: evince 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxdrv nvidia Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Jan 21 12:19:56 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evince InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110427.1) ProcCmdline_: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=12dd963e-65ed-44cc-afc8-48baf4a7f88e ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature_: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 SourcePackage: evince UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug apport-lpi i386 natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919603 Title: Indexed document opens unwanted multiple windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/919603/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
