Hi, I am one of the okular/kpdf developers. I just ported the form support done Julien in his SoC based on the patch from 23/07/06. We talked a lot about it on irc but some explanation is needed:
Q: Why 23/07 and not a recent patch? A: This is the last stable patch with read support, newest include not yet finished write support for forms. Q: Why adding two copyrights to the modified files? A: I did not know what to do about the copyrights, Julien did not put any in his code. I myself wrote one file from scratch and the others are either based on Julien's code (looked at it and reimplemented it using what the Qt4 backend provides). I copied one function over since it was too obvious to write from looking and required only minor changes. Also we noted two things on irc: 1. need to check which encoding the content of the form field is in 2. form field bounding rect should be changed, since the one encoded in PDF needs the cropbox information for proper display: http://paste.uni.cc/9186 It should be done in poppler, no need for every app to implement that. So guys, what do you think about this patch, can it be commited somewhere in the repo (I do not have rw access) ? -- Piotr Szymański [EMAIL PROTECTED]
