[Okular-devel] [Bug 246196] New: When filling in forms, make it possible to set the font size of the forms

[Michael]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246196

Summary: When filling in forms, make it possible to set the
font size of the forms
Product: okular
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
ReportedBy: Prescience500 at gmail.com


Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5)
OS: Linux

When filling in forms using Okular, there is no way to change the font size.
This is unfortunate because after the text fills up the form, the rest of the
text is cut off.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open document
2) Click on "Show Forms"
3) Fill in form

Actual Results:
There's no way to change the font size and sometimes there isn't enough room to
fit all of the text inside the form.

Expected Results:
There should be a way to change the font size to ensure that your text can fit
inside the forms.

I can confirm this problem, I thinks poppler who is to blame since evince does
the same thing.

Confirmed under KDE 4.8.1, Okular 0.14.1. The font is too large when I was
trying to fill one of my PDF file, which makes it unusable. :(

In this bug, the form fields have no font size (size 0) specified, and no
prerendered appearance exists for the fields in question.

Bug #363768 is related. In Bug #363768, the font size in the prerendered
appearance /AP object is not used as a hint for font size selection. Given that
solving this bug #246196 would also allow to work around bug #363768, I'm
setting #246196 as blocker for #363768.

They are related, but you can solve 363768 without 246196. So no blocker, but I
can fill the "See also" field.

Working on this... right now I can set a max font size for forms where the font
size is not specified. No GUI, and still requires recompilation of libpoppler
if you want a different size. Then again, that's probably a lot better than
nothing.

Hardcode a reasonable default max font size for form fields if autosize=on

This patch solves the immediate problem for me, but obviously hardcoding a max
font size of 12 for all form fields with unspecified font size is not optimal
for everyone.

Options are either a setting per form field, or a global setting. Given that
most forms are designed for uniform font size, a global setting is probably
sufficient and simplifies the UI.

If anyone knows poppler well enough to make this a settable attribute of the
document instead of a hardcoded constant in two functions, please tell me.

Oh that's a patch for poppler, then what about using the poppler bugtracker?

Migrated Bug report in poppler:

As far as I can tell and test the bug still exists and is not fixed yet.
