John Scott <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REOPENED |CONFIRMED --- Comment #7 from John Scott <[email protected]> --- After some research I found at least one libre PDF viewer that does support this correctly: PDF.js, the JavaScript-based PDF reader that's often integrated into browser engines like WebKit and also Mozilla Firefox. In some distros you may be able to find it as a standalone package. Here's approximately how I can do this on Debian: • create a filesystem directory for a web server > cd ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} > mkdir -p pdfjs-http/ > cd pdfjs-http/ • incorporate the system-wide copy of PDF.js from libjs-pdf > if ! [ -e ./pdfjs/ ] > then ln -s /usr/share/javascript/pdf/ ./pdfjs > fi • copy a PDF document you'd like to test with into this directory > curl -O https://johnscott.me/openact.pdf • start an HTTP server on some random port of choice > busybox httpd -f -p 8089 • open the PDF.js viewer in a web browser > xdg-open http://localhost:8089/pdfjs/web/viewer.html?file=%2Fopenact.pdf Due to HTTP security voodoo, simply opening viewer.html from the filesystem won't typically work, so that's why BusyBox's tiny HTTP server or some other helper is needed. When I do this with the example PDF that I've described how to construct, I see a dialog box saying "Ahoy" when the file is loaded. Note that OpenAction isn't restricted to JavaScript but can be used for other PDF actions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
