Bug ID: 375211
Summary: Table Select tool fails on large table
Product: okular
Version: 0.20.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: okular-***@kde.org
Reporter: ***@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---

Table select tool fails to automatically identify rows and columns on a simple
table layout with large amounts of data.
http://www.qsl.net/sterling/VA_QSO_Party/2016_VQP/2016_VQP_MetaData.pdf
approx 22 columns
approx 180 rows per page
approx 414 total rows
3 pages

This requires over 500 near pixel accurate mouse clicks to convert.
This site has similar files for each year.
The following file is a bit more difficult as it is missing lines except on the
column heads on the first page. okular finds the rows ok but not the columns.

release of ubuntu.

Hey Mark,

I could reproduce the problems with the table selection tool.
I marked it as confirmed.

Note: I am no maintainer but from the KDE bugsquad
tested on okular 1.3.3
