Those are really great news, thanks a lot!
Okular always amazes me as an app, whose function you would think would be small enough to be unimpressive, and yet... I am always surprised by the great features I keep finding hidden away (like recently discovering it can open .pptx powerpoint files?!!)
This new set of enhancements is the icing on the cake.
Great work, everyone. Okular is pure quality.
its nice to see that community problems has gone and project is thriving...
Great work!
What about a better printing support? IIRC there was some GSoC project to improve printing support in KDE, but still we have same system (e.g. can't choose particular pages to print).
Apart from the printing issue, it would be really great if we could have more advanced pdf features such as annotations to the file that would show up in all viewers and filling forms, etc. Overall though, Okular rocks!
What about LaTeX live preview? Is it possible with Kile?
@Last anonymous: That is a Kile feature, the pieces needed on Okular are there but you'll need a new Kile for that to work.
@Albert oh I see, thanks! :)
Amazing work on text selection. Thanks.
Thanks! Okular is an excellent software that I use every day!
