Contributor rharding on Evince Document Viewer

Better PDF features with Evince. Atleast basic highlighting and commenting.  
Written by vikrant82 the 17 Jul 08 at 12:05. Not an idea
Evince, the default PDF handler should be given some extra PDF features like basic commenting options (highlighting, underlining etc).

I have always felt, Windows users are most impressed if boasted about being able to comment/handle/edit PDF files for free natively ;)

For e.g. I really like OpenOffice feature to directly export to PDF.

Our demand - Make evince stronger in terms of its PDF handling abilities.

Solution #3: Canonical should hire someone to collaborate with the envince team
Written by aloctavodia the 6 Mar 10 at 01:05.
The problem with the evince team is that all of them are not paid so they do the better then can when they can. We can ask them to solve our problems why we can ask canonical to spend some money solving the problem.
