cgogolin / penandpdf Goto Github PK

I encounter saving error from time to time.
The procedure to save the file seems to go well, no error, but when trying to close the document, I am prompted with a «save?» dialog box asking to save the changes, as if the document wasn't previously saved. Answering Yes (save) or No (close without saving) has the same result : reopening the document shows no annotations.
This error is not systematic according to the file. However, i would occurs or not with similar pdf source (coming from the same editor). I don't see a pattern in thoses files.
Thanks!

A feature that could be interesting would be to be able to change the size and/or relocate notes taking with the pen. To avoid interference while writing, it could be activated somehow.
I don't know whether I or anyone will use it much, but I have just realized that it would be nice sometimes. At least, to move notes.

F-Droid is a store of FOSS apps for Android. As your app is licensed under GPL v3, could you list your app in F-Droid database? Thank you very much!

I am using a Galaxy Note 8.0 with an S-Pen and Pen&Pdf. When using the S-Pen only to first point to a text and then highlight a text two annotations are generated:

1. A pencil annotation (not visible but listed in annotations)
2. A higlighting annotation

If I do the same with selecting the text with the finger and then using the S-Pen to extend the highlighting as needed, as expected only one highlighting annotation is generated.

I'm interested in your app but fail to understand the following:

Why does this app require full network access, exactly?

Thanks for your work first.
I've two annotations: 1. A option to scroll the document vertical would be nice.
2. A full view mode that only shows the document without the status bar from android and without the toolbar from the pdf reader.
Thanks and greetings to cologne ;)

Edit: I discovered, that a full view mode already exist. Sorry for that. So i can only add small notice. An automatic full view mode would be nice. But its really a "nice-to-have" extra. Not essential.

Would you mind making the .apk available here at Github (e.g. attaching it to releases/), so folks without playstore get a chance to grab it? I'd offer to serve it via my repo then (updates included as long as you provide the APKs). Thanks in advance!

I am trying to build the source code in Android Studio and it keeps throwing the *** No rule to make target for ../pdf-js.c needed by pdf-js.o . Stop.

I am having a hard time trying to fix this. How do I exactly run this source code?

It would be nice to have an easier way to change colors of the pen from the ActionBar.

unable to found generated header files i generated folder.

Due to limitations in the used version of MuPDF, Pen&PDF cannot correctly decode/encode strings in various form widgets (text fields, multiple choice widgets, ...) and and passwords (for protected pdfs). There is no easy way to work around this. Hopefully a future version of MuPDF will improve in this respect.

Pen&PDF could use this API instead of cloud print. There's some support in the "AndroidX" support library as well, to keep compatibility with much older devices.

Looks like this tutorial might be applicable:

Also relevant to #8

When a document is shared after it was saved under a new name the document is shared under the old name. This is probably because the share action provider is not correctly updated/recreated.

When reviewing a PDF with serveral people it is very comvenient that with each annotation the name of the reviewer is displayed. Therefore probably a setting of an author name would be needed in Pen&Pdf.
Great tool by the way

If you have arm64-v8a so file kindly provide it.

It would be nice to have the option to invert colors when showing a document. It is more pleasant to read with a black background on an LCD screen.

Thanks!

Renato.

Please i would like to know what ide you used in creating the project, i converted to android studio because eclipse was giving bugs and i was getting a runtime error throwing unsatified exception, something about the MUpdfcore.java

Thanks a lot @cgogolin for developing this useful app!

As it is no longer actively maintained, I wonder if you or anyone else knows some good alternatives (that are ideally available on f-droid)?

I couldn't get why the app uses internet permission. Is it possible to remove the permission?

Would it be possible to add a custom additional page instead of an all empty page ? Would be very nice to have a page with lines for notes, or a grid for calculations or a sketch. Or a music sheet ... You get the idea.
