Summary: table selection tool - new feature (patch enclosed)
Product: okular
Version: 0.12.2
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: okular-devel@kde.org

implementation of the feature
Version: 0.12.2 (using KDE 4.6.2)
OS: Linux
In many situations, it is useful to be able to copy and paste tables from PDF
files into a spreadsheet for further processing. At NICTA, we have developed
this functionality for Okular and wish to contribute it to the project.
Usage: from the menu, select Tools | Table Selection Tool (or use the shortcut
Ctrl-5). Use the mouse to select the whole table (in a manner similar to the
existing Selection Tool), then click near the edges of the table to add and
remove row and column dividers; the table is automatically copied to the
clipboard after each change. When ready, paste into another document
(spreadsheet, word processor, etc). Press C to clear the selection.
Notes:
* There seem to be several different places where credit is recorded (AUTHORS,
aboutdata.h, docbook); I'm not sure whether, where and in what form it would be
appropriate to insert credit for this feature.
* I think I've pretty much omitted any DRM checks.
Could I have a code review and/or instructions how to best go ahead with
submitting this feature, please? (via patches or git or other mechanism?)
Reproducible: Always
Actual Results:
Copying and pasting tables from PDF files into a spreadsheet for further
processing is tedious and error-prone.
Expected Results:
It is easy to reliably copy and paste tables from PDF files into a spreadsheet
for further processing.
