This is in principle possible. The problem is that you need to find a developer that has enough knowledge of PDF spec + GTk + Evince to do it. For me, for instance, it is not a problem of money, I have my day-job. On brighter news, see wip/annotation_support branch, where I am been adding highlighting support. Right now you cannot yet add new highlight annotations, but you can see the contents of them. I still don't know if this will be 3.6 material, but I really hope that it will get into 3.8 Greetings José > That's it, I'm not involved in the development of evince, so may be this was > already raised and discarded (I googled that, though), in that case sorry > for the email. > In any case, so long and thanks for all the fish, > > Bruno > > _______________________________________________ > evince-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list > _______________________________________________ evince-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
