jumping in pdf's
I seem to remember that in one of henrycats videos, he could enter a page number and jump directly to that page. Does anybody know how that works?

Yes. You open the keyboard, enter the pagenumber and hit return. BUT they broke it with 2.4

A temporary solution nowadays could be to kill their pdf and use xpdf -remote so that one gets shell control. I am afraid that they are modifying xpdf instead simply to use the -remote control.

since they use the external controlbar, they might have to update it, to get information to the bar, or does xpdf remote give you information about the read page, zoom level etc?
And if they want to give us the ability to add notes, they have to modify xpdf, wont they? |

I think there is a part of the pdf standard about notes. I will check. Last edited by arivero; 07-21-2006 at 05:48 AM. |

Another approach to note taking was to be able to extract pages of the book into an scrapbook. Sony (so DRM-aware :-) ) took this option. The scrapbool aplication is under full control of the new system, so you can write notes there.

I personally would like to see several kinds of notetaking on PDFs.
1. Highliting of textpassages. So everyone can see them. 2. When adding notes, the should be scribbles in the notes provided by pdf. 3. Scribbling on top of the page (can you turn that on and off??) The first 2 would be available in PDFs already, the 3. would be some kind of overlay, but i would like to be able to see all 3 annotations in a normal PDF reader. |
