Hi. I use poppler_page_find_text() to find text in PDF files. This returns GList of pointers to PopplerRectangles. Then I use poppler_page_render_selection() to mark the found text.
What is wrong is that PopplerRectangles returned by poppler_page_find_text() are incompatible with those that poppler_page_render_selection() requests, which is why the wrong text is selected. I have found that to make those two compatible, I have to do the following to PopplerRectangles returned by poppler_page_find_text(): 1) SWAP(rectangle.x1, rectangle.x2); 2) SWAP(rectangle.y1, rectangle.y2); 3) rectangle.y1 = page_height - rectangle.y1; 4) rectangle.y2 = page_height - rectangle.y2; But this does not solve the problem because the marked text cycles between right and wrong again while resizing the window. I have created a small program that illustrates the problem. Here it is: https://pastebin.com/h3F56Yv7 (I've also sent an attachment but last time you didn't get it so this paste is a fallback in case you don't get it again.) You ought to supply two arguments when running the program: the absolute path to a PDF file and the text you want to search for, respectively. Pay attention to the selected text with and without lines 54-57. How can I make the found text to be marked properly? This "workaround" does not work very well and it is an ugly solution anyway. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
