Highlighting and commenting #438

Open pervoj opened 3 years ago

pervoj commented 3 years ago 
 * Xreader version (xreader --version): 2.6.4
 * Distribution - (Mint 17.2, Arch, Fedora 25, etc...): Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon

Add highlighting and commenting, please. You can be inspired by GNOME Evince or KDE Okular. Thank you!

@icarter09 Are there any plans to merge highlight and comment features like https://github.com/linuxmint/xreader/pull/394 in the future?

I use xreader for reading documents, but whenever I need to highlight anything I have to switch to Okular, since there are much more annotation features than in xreader.

icarter09 commented 3 years ago

@daholzfeind I'm not sure if that PR is completed yet or when the expected completion date would be. I'll try to find out more about that. Thanks.

Annotation and various kinds of highlighting are available in version 2.8.3.

daholzfeind commented 2 years ago

AFAICS, this is fixed in version 2.8.3 or before.

@rgreen5 So there are more Annotation and Highlighting features in the latest Version of Xreader? I still have to use Okular or similar when doing annotations. Any Updates about this?

rgreen5 commented 2 years ago

I've edited the previous comment to clarify. I don't know if there are any additional features compared to version 2.6.4.

Checking in in version 3.3.0... Text annotations and highlighting are present, and work well. The numerous features in #394 still aren't here (like underlining). But OP's request is fulfilled. I think this issue should be closed.

@notevenaperson The underline, squiggly and strike out feature exists already, although it is not much discoverable. At the moment it is a configuration of the highlighting annotation. Right click the highlighted area, then on "Annotation Properties" and choose underline in the dropdown "Markup type".

The backend for these features has been backported from Evince, but the GUI is not that intuitive at the moment, and the selection of these configurations are not remembered unfortunately.

@Piiit Mine's version is 3.6.3 but it seems the annotation feature is missing. It's been installed by default by Linux Mint. Maybe it's a modified version?

josede commented 1 year ago

I have the version 3.6.3 of Xreader (Linux Mint Vera, Cinnamon, 64 bit) and i do not find any means for highlighting and commenting a PDF document: same as @Piiit !

Can somebody advice how to do it? Thanx!

Remark: my version was installed during installation of the Linux Mint distribution.

I can't find annotation tools neither. There is no option to highlight text or else. I installed xreader v.3.8.2 from arch (6.4.12-arch1-1) repo and there are no add-ons available.

Can anyone describe how to activate annotation tools?

Thx.

Edit: I just found them: 1. show side pane, 2. select 'Annotations' in drop-down (see figure) image
