Title:
Indexed document opens unwanted multiple windows
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
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 ! ;-)
