It works in 4.3.*.

[technosaurus]

here is the small version only 1/6th the size

compiled in wary

removed the giant builtin droid font by adding -DNOCJK to the release cflags

resource usage is really low - <15Mb (1/3 of epdfview)

need to look at vlc-gtk code (for key control) to get a frontend

anyone get this working with mozplugger?

changelog

[technosaurus]

www.mail-archive.com/ports@openbsd.org/msg23464.html
patches for mozplugger if anyone is interested

also in case anyone else gets curious and tries to hack out libopenjpeg or jbig, it only removes ~50kb from the binary size compared to compiling them in statically

I noticed that these work for Puppy 3.xxx and 4.xxx, but what about 5.xxx?

I'm asking, 'cos I'm on Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 (LuPu 511).

[technosaurus]

it should work, try it and see (run it from the command line if it doesn't work)
mupdf /usr/share/examples/ps-pdf/Acrobat.pdf

latest build is now 9.0

mupdf-9.0-lucid.pet

this package contains mupdfutils + mupdf viewer, compiled with -DNOCJK switch to decrease size

[technosaurus]

lol, I _just_ built the latest git in Wary for the page# functionality and fixed memory leaks (usage is now <9mb RAM)

page number with shift+p
needed for the bookmark wrapper I posted here:

[technosaurus]

I was able to turn mupdf and all of the extras into one multicall binary:
mupdf pdfclean pdfdraw pdfextract pdfinfo pdfshow xpsdraw

I have also attached a patch for future use in case anyone else wants to give it a shot.

Note: this is not a pet, because I didn't include any gui for it - thus no desktop menu and nothing that overrides the existing defaultpdfviewer ... or defaultxpsviewer if we even had that ... so really this is for experimental use, for anyone wanting to do that _fun_ stuff

[technosaurus]

Mypdf is now buildable multicall as of this commit:
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=mupdf.git;a=commitdiff;h=94439d77f23763d59457b9946ba35bd354ea4841

hi

anybody have any success copying text in mupdf? you're supposed to right-drag to select, and then press enter or ctrl-c.

Selecting works, but cannot copy.

On lucid 5.2.8.

I'm searching for a pdf reader on which copy text works. Foxit hangs on trying to copy text. Lucid's PDF Reader does not allow text to be selected (the selection vanishes when you let go of the mouse button).

thanks!

--update, got the copy text feature with foxit for debian deb. No other pdf reader or version that i tried (including foxit installed by the puppy package mgr) allowed me to copy text.

[technosaurus]

right-highlight a block of text, then press Ctrl+Ins (or Ctrl+C)

then insert it with middle mouse button (or both simultaneously on a 2 button mouse)

there are 2 different types of "clipboards" and mupdf goes to the same one as console programs for whatever reason

...this may not be the case if you run a clipboard manager like glipper
