[Okular-devel] [okular] [Bug 267350] filling out a PDF form saves data to some file i ~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata/
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267350 --- Comment #47 from Yuri --- Ah, I see. I didn't realize the pdf form-saving code was even there. This makes the situation much better than I thought. Thanks for clarifying this! Somebody should just remove the code writing under ~/.kde4/share/apps/okular/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267350 --- Comment #43 from Yuri --- (In reply to Carsten Gräser from comment #42) > Yuri, this is not correct. Okular can in principle save the data to the pdf. > But the interplay of this with saving to and loading from .kde/... is not > very intuitive. What does it mean "can in principle"? Is the code saving it to the pdf there or not there? If it is there, can you send the link (line numbers)? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel

Carsten, the problem is that there is no code that saves to a file. There should be two choices: * Saving to a pdf file itself * Saving to a separate pdf file (according to the pdf spec) But somebody for some unknown reason implemented writing it in the proprietary format into ~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata/ that makes okular unusable for filling forms. Nobody needs the function to save forms under ~/.kde -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
