Jan-Marek Glogowski <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #8 from Jan-Marek Glogowski <[email protected]> --- This is a real problem for us. We (City of Munich) generate large mail merge documents (PDF with 4k - 8k pages, some even 16k), which we want to print from KDE. Generation using LibreOffice + WollMux takes ~2 hours, but even with the latest GhostScript 9.15, which is 50% faster then the GhostScript version shipped in Ubuntu Precise, it takes more then a day for poppler (0.24.x) just to generate the PostScript to be send to the CUPS server. And additionally we still have the conversation to PCL for the printer on the CUPS server side. Using a printer, which supports direct PDF printing, would get the time down to just the file transfer time, if Okular would actually send the PDF. And for some of our test documents the generated PS is much larger (8-10 times, talking about GB here) then the original PDF, which is written to tmp and "copied" to /var/spool for local CUPS or send to a central print server. If you still think this is not a bug, it would be nice to get some code pointers in current KDE4 okular codebase, so we can probably hire someone to get this fixed and included Upstream. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Okular-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
