Please improve the "Save as..."-Dialog. Change layout to "Open..."-Dialog (so preview is added), add a hotkey (Ctrl+s or Shift+Ctrl+S), and add the feature to save only some pages of the open document.

Perhaps it could look like:

Save [CHECKBOX] all pages.

[CHECKBOX] from page [COUNTER] to [COUNTER].

DJView has this useful feature. It could be used for easy extracting some pages from a large PDF or DJVU file. Also multipage TIFF-files (-> GBM-plugin) could use this feature.

This would greatly help printing journal articles downloaded from publishers' Web sites. Most journals have smaller pages than letter (or A4) size, and "fit to page" makes their small fonts more readable.

ecs ticket 2710:

"Is there a plugin to follow URL links in a PDF document? or is it configurable?"

It would indeed be nice if this were possible.

I have noted on DjVU Zone that when a file is a pure DjVu? file, the Lucide displays it properly. However, there are numerous links which point to index.html files. They hand off immediately to files named index.djvu. Lucide runs and shows the pages in the bookmarks panel, but nothing ever shows in the document panel. When this happens Lucide either becomes unresponsive and I must CTRL+ESC to close it in the Window List or Lucide disappears all by itself.

Thank you,

When loading a file in GSView, heavy graphics are loaded slowly but this can be done in background because GSView will not redraw the page unless the file has changed. This cannot be done with Lucide. When Lucide loads the same page and is put in the background, it will load it again when going back to the front. You have to wait until the page is completely drawn without doing something else. This is very annoying when a file contains lots of heavy graphics.

Open the files in "read" mode, so they can also be accessed by other programs and it is allowed to write the file while it is already opened by Lucide. If the file has changed it has to be re-read! This is needed to use it as PDF-Viewer when someone creates PDF files with VTEX/2 (LaTeX).

You have to compare the last saved timestamp with the current timestamp when the Lucide window will be activated. If you have a background thread that will check the timestamps in the background this would be an option too. Look at the GSView source, which is supporting this feature since ages.

If a field in a saved fill-in pdf is edited, the old data reappears after the pdf is saved and reloaded. This is probably a poppler defect/regression. The new data is in the pdf, but so is the old data. Since pdfs are effectively read backwards, it is easy to understand how this could occur.

Updated to 1.3.5 and printing no longer works.

Instead, the printer spits out endless pages with only a gray box containing the message

  ERROR NAME;
     undefined
  COMMAND;
     fi=k,+
  OPERAND STACK;

Reverting to 1.3.4 causes the same PDFs to print successfully again.

Using Brother HL-3075CW (native printer object, PSPRINT driver with imported PPD). The PDF(s) in question were created by Scribus 1.4.1.

This is very strange. I enter data into a form and do a "save as" and it saves it fine. Next I reopen the form and make some changes in the form data and do another "save as" and the saved file does not have the changes. It is like it keeps the original in memory and only saves that, but the changes somehow don't make it into that original in memory to be saved.

Also, after doing a "save as" of an updated form as mentioned above, when Lucide is closed it comes up with a message that the document has changed, do you want to save it. If a yes response is given the results are as above, i.e. the changes are not saved so in essence the opened form is saved again with none of the data changes.

Following actions should be appended to the "Document" menu:

• Close
• Close All
• Print Preview

Without a duplex printer, a simple way to print double-sided documents is to print the even pages in the reverse order (for example 10 8 6 4 2) then put them back in the printer and print the odd pages in the normal order (for example 1 3 5 7 9). Without reverse order printing, in this example, page 2 will be on the bottom of the printed pages, page 1 will be printed on the back of page 10, etc.

GSView has this possibility of reverse-order printing, it would be very nice if Lucide had it too.

Received an encrypted pdf from a financial brokerage. Upon supplying the password to access the document, there is a link to open the embedded pdf (a pdf inside another pdf). Clicking the link does nothing (Lucide 1.3.4 GA).

In Acrobat 10, clicking the link (the mouse cursor remains an I-beam, but the link *is* clickable), the embedded pdf opens in a new window.

This may depend upon support in Poppler; I haven't checked. However, the "wrapper" pdf decrypts properly.

I will have to try to recreate such a document for testing (this one has confidential information). The outside pdf was created with iText 2.0.8, and appears to be in PDF version 1.4; the inner one was created with ClibPDF Library 2.02-r1-2.

Trying to print to Lexmark Optra s1625. A print job is visible in the spooler for a very very short time and the printer will run a warm-up cycle, but no pages print. The only other available printer is postscript. When Lucide prints to a postscript printer the actual postrcipt control file commands (rather than the file) are printed.

I downloaded and filled out USA form W-9. Lucide easily filled out the form, and I saved it. Lucide can re-open the form, and the filled out values are correct.

If I go to Mac or Windows and open the filled out form with Acrobat, all the fields are blank.

Lucide 1.3.5 A blank Form W-9 is attached.

The uploaded pdf is a from the Swedish pass-port authority. Some new fancy version of pdf-document I guess, which I'm not able to open. Instead it produces a message:

"Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document.

I suggest not to clear the whole window background before repainting. Especially resizing the window while viewing a JPG looks very ugly. Also, the toolbar should not flicker, while the window is resized.

Another suggestion: replace the tree expand/collaps icons/bitmaps in the container by user defined ones and force them not to be streched. Hint: Pronews has nice ones that fit the font size used.

F9 seems otherwise unused and this is the hotkey used by Firefox for a similar function.

If possible, it was nice add a new plugin to Lucide for read comic book files (with mainly CBZ and CBR file extensions). The Gnome (Evince) and KDE (Okular) viewers equivalent to Lucide usually have this feature.

Comic book files are only ZIP (CBZ) or RAR (RAR) archives with a set of numbered image files (usually JPG) inside.

Perhaps p7zip (LGPL) can be used for extraction of contents of the archives.

AFAIK, the only comic viewer that perhaps can be ported to eComStation now is YACReader (​http://code.google.com/p/yacreader/).

is it possible to enhance the pdf part, so that encrypted documents could be read?
