I just realized we never really followed up on the last two patches. My concern is that they change the pdftotext output.
I though they where for a) speed b) text selection so i'd prefer if they did not change pdftotext output. I've checked a few files of the changed ones and the changes can be argued not to be for better or worse, but then again the problem is that 1 out of 3 files i have has a changed output in pdftotext and having 1600 files in the test suite it makes it impossible for me to go over them all and verify the changes are "not better nor worse". Is there any chance we get patches that don't influence pdftotext output or at least not such drastically? And yes, i know it's ages ago since you wrote the patches, sorry. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/33288 Title: Evince doesn't handle columns properly Status in Poppler: Confirmed Status in poppler package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in poppler source package in Lucid: Fix Released Bug description: So, now that RC is here, let's propose it as an SRU.

(fixing most of known issues with selection in pdf) (LP: #33288) ---------------------------- ---------------------------- When making a multi column selection from a PDF like this: http://www.specialist-games.com/mordheim/assets/lrb/1Rules.pdf And pasting the result into OpenOffice.org the columns are not maintained. The results unusable because the text from both columns becomes mixed. Please note, this is not a PDF problem, using Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.x under Windows does properly copy-paste columned text over to OpenOffice.org.
