- Viewer preferences (e.g. like page view mode)
Is this what it's laid out in chapter 8.1 in PDF 1.4 ref ?
The only thing I did so far, is the way the PDF reader opens the first
page of the PDF doc (Page open mode);
That is exactly it. The actual PDFWriter implemention for that would be
simple, one would need more UI for that, though.
I think this would be for me a good starting point:
- the enanchement should mostly lives in PDFWriter;
- there are some changes to the UI (e.g. more selections in the
dialog), so I can see how it works;
I'd think so, too.
another enhancement could be the possibility to choose the
"highlighting mode" of the "link annotation" (PDF ref wording, living
around table 8.16 in ref) in the PDF document (did not see any issue
on this though).
On a global basis that should be easy to implement. Not sure about a per
link basis as that would affect the application code.
I was thinking on a global basis, due to the fact that I used the "Invert" mode
some years back (it was Acrobat 3.0, IIRC) to have a good compromise
on printing either in B&W or color, and the task should be quite
similar to the "Viewer preferences" above. On a link basic, well, that
can be perhaps a style property ? Or mapping a Font Style to a PDF
link property ?
So, in the end, I'd like to add both the Viewer preferences above and
this last one, plus the one I partly implemented (but without UI so
far): 3.6.1 1.4 ref, only PageMode.
What's the best course of action ? open an issue, may be ?
You'll need one. For the UI changes user experience will have to
approve, so please set [EMAIL PROTECTED] on CC of that issue. We'll
also have to make the appropriate changes to the spec at
http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/pdf_export/PDFExport.sxw
With new additions it may well be time to change that dialog to a tabbed
dialog, which might make a redesign necessary (depends on how many extra
controls you actually need).
Then we'll have a child workspace to check the code into; you can either
send changes as a patch attached to the issue or you could commit to the
CWS if you already have commit rights (if not we'll have to see how to
get you those).
Kind regards, pl
