Hello Sebastian :-)
Anyway, I made that skeleton work, now it is showing pdf files in
'Open Document' window and pushed it to kde git too.
Seems I am not anle to see it in our git-repository... did you do those;
git checkout master -b filter-words-pdfimport-panks
git commit -a
git push
steps and did it succeed?
I went through that Outputdev file once roughly. Can you please give
me some hint on what should I hit upon/do next?
I think we need to have an own poppler OutputDev implementation in a
similar way like at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/utils/HtmlOutputDev.cc
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/tree/utils/>. We first can
add a skeleton for that that does nothing more but to reimplement the
beginString/endString/addChar methods and then write them to ODF
<p><span></span></p> in a similar way the
calligra/filters/words/ascii/AsciiImport.cpp does.
For that we are maybe forced to get a complete copy of poppler into e.g.
calligra/filters/words/pdfimport/poppler/* when upstream doesn't allow
to link against the libpoppler-library. We will see.
Then we would have the very basic thing already working; read the
strings and put them into a ODT so the plain-text becomes visible in
Words when our import-filter loads a PDF. As next step we could then add
simple formattings like font-style, bold/italic/underline/etc and once
that is done add the code to handle images.
Please make sure that your current code is in our git so I can help
direct on the concrete code-base with getting this points named above
accomplished. Lot of thanks in advance :-)
