Sample form

Current poppler doesn't handle ResetForm action so it is not able to reset forms.

glib: Add ability to reset forms

Add new PopplerActionType POPPLER_ACTION_RESET_FORM and its handling to PopplerAction.

Comment 4 Marek Kasik 2015-06-15 14:43:01 UTC
I've also added a related patch to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77601. It is needed in applications which would like to use the ResetForm action via glib frontend.

Add handling of ResetForm action 1/2

This is a preliminary version of a patch for evince which add the reset form ability to evince so you can test it.

Add handling of additional actions for annotations 2/2

And this is a preliminary version of a patch for evince which adds the ability to handle additional annotation actions to evince.
Comment 7 Albert Astals Cid 2015-06-19 19:55:15 UTC
What are the last 2 patches? Evince code?

Also, have you looked at the long discussion in the mailing list we had ages ago on supporting this?
Comment 8 Jose Aliste 2015-06-19 20:28:13 UTC
Yeah, evince patches should be in gnome's bugzilla. We had some patches around from one student of mine, i don't recall where they ended. Will look for those.
Comment 9 Carlos Garcia Campos 2015-06-20 09:35:49 UTC
I haven't reviewed the patches yet, but as Albert said, we have discussed this several times in the mailing list:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2010-June/005866.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2011-August/007765.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2012-March/008805.html

I'll look at the patches as soon as I find some time, but please, check those discussions, to make sure all previous concerns are addressed.

We already have a bug open for evince:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477841

Evince patches should be attached there.

Thanks!
Comment 10 Marek Kasik 2015-06-22 08:50:02 UTC
Thank you for pointing me to the discussion, I'll read through that.
I attached the evince patches to allow you to test the poppler patches.
