Description Wouter van Wijk 2006-01-19 21:58:50 UTC 
In the gnome-bugdatabase ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327119 ), I
expressed the idea to make the print preview editable. 

[...Many times, e.g. when you print a webpage or a pdf, my print would be better
(or cheaper, saving me some ink) if I could remove or add something. E.g. add
note when printing a webpage, or remove a big picture because I only want the
text, etc...] 

I got an answer that it's a nice idea, but with the next-generation rendering in
Cairo, it would not be possible to do something like that. I think that's a
pity, so I post the suggestion here. Maybe it would be hard to do, but it would
certainly be something very nice to have.

This is not relevant to cairo.  Users of cairo can do whatever they want, like
supporting editable print preview, just that it's extremely hard and application
dependent.  Nothing that can be solved generally.
