Today KDE is excited to announce that Okular, the multi-platform 
universal document viewer, is the first ever eco-certified computer program!


*First Ever Eco-Certified Computer Program: KDE's Popular PDF Reader Okular*

> The multi-platform Free and Open-Source Software product is now 
officially recognized for sustainable software design


  https://eco.kde.org/blog/2022-03-16-press-release-okular-blue-angel/

/Summary/: Okular, KDE's popular multi-platform PDF reader and universal 
document viewer, has officially been recognized for sustainable software 
design. In February 2022 Okular was awarded the Blue Angel ecolabel, the 
official environmental label awarded by the German government. 
Introduced in 1978, Blue Angel is the world's earliest-established 
environmental label, and Okular is the first software product ever to be 
certified with its seal. What is more, Okular is the first ️ever 
eco-certified computer program within the 30 organizations of the Global 
Ecolabelling Network!


Released under the GPLv2+ license, Okular is Free and Open-Source 
Software, and so it was also already fulfilling many of the user 
autonomy criteria necessary to obtain the Blue Angel seal of approval. 
Further work was carried out to make Okular fully compliant with all of 
the Blue Angel criteria, and become officially recognized as providing 
transparency in energy and resource consumption, extending the potential 
hardware operating life of devices, and enabling user autonomy.


Today we are celebrating the achievement together with the wider Free 
Software community [1], as well as with the computer science department 
at Umwelt Campus Birkenfeld [2], where researchers measured the resource 
and energy-consumption of Okular and other KDE software.


KDE and the Free Software community would like to send a heartfelt thank 
you to the Okular developers for making environmentally-friendly 
software for all of us!

== Deutsche Version ==

KDE freut sich, heute ankündigen zu können, dass Okular, der 
plattformübergreifende universelle Dokumenten-Viewer, das erste 
öko-zertifizierte Computerprogramm überhaupt ist!


Pressemitteilung: 16. März 2022

*Erstes öko-zertifiziertes Computerprogramm überhaupt: KDEs beliebter 
PDF-Reader Okular*


> Das plattformübergreifende Freie- und Open-Source-Software-Produkt 
ist nun offiziell für nachhaltiges Software-Design anerkannt


  https://eco.kde.org/blog/2022-03-16-press-release-okular-blue-angel/

/Zusammenfassung/: Okular, KDEs beliebter plattformübergreifender 
PDF-Reader und universeller Dokumenten-Viewer, ist offiziell für 
nachhaltiges Softwaredesign ausgezeichnet worden. Im Februar 2022 wurde 
Okular mit dem Umweltzeichen Blauer Engel ausgezeichnet, dem offiziellen 
Umweltzeichen der deutschen Bundesregierung. Der Blaue Engel wurde 1978 
eingeführt und ist das älteste Umweltzeichen der Welt. Okular ist das 
erste Softwareprodukt, das mit diesem Siegel zertifiziert wurde. Darüber 
hinaus ist Okular das erste jemals öko-zertifizierte Computerprogramm 
innerhalb der 30 Organisationen des Global Ecolabelling Network!


Okular wurde unter der GPLv2+-Lizenz veröffentlicht, ist also eine freie 
und quelloffene Software und erfüllte somit bereits viele der Kriterien 
der Benutzerautonomie, die für die Verleihung des Blauen Engels 
erforderlich sind. Es wurde weiter daran gearbeitet, dass Okular alle 
Kriterien des Blauen Engels erfüllt und offiziell anerkannt wird, da es 
Transparenz beim Energie- und Ressourcenverbrauch bietet, die 
potenzielle Hardware-Lebensdauer von Geräten verlängert und die 
Autonomie der Nutzer*innen ermöglicht.


Heute feiern wir diese Erfolge gemeinsam mit der Free Software 
Foundation Europe [1] sowie mit der Informatikabteilung des 
Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld [2], wo Forscher*innen den Ressourcen- und 
Energieverbrauch von Okular und anderer KDE-Software gemessen haben.


KDE und die Freie-Software-Community möchten den Okular-Entwicklern ein 
herzliches Dankeschön dafür aussprechen, dass sie umweltfreundliche 
Software für uns alle entwickelt haben!

I still have this problem with non-english characters, such as Swedish Å Ä Ö,
with Okular 21.08.3 installed as Flatpak on Debian Buster from Flathub. Both
the 'Typewriter' and the 'Inline Note' tools suffers from this lack of padding
around visual text elements.

[okular] [Bug 451519] Typewriter ignores rotation

I still have this problem with Okular 21.08.3 installed as Flatpak on Debian
Buster from Flathub. My testing shows that annotations made in Okular always
assume the page is in 'Portrait' format. So if I open a PDF document with
'Landscape' format (without doing any rotation in Okular) and add some
annotations; then even if the annotations appear correctly in Okular they will
be rotated after saving and opening the PDF-file in another pdf viewer (such as
the pdf.online web-app powered by PDFTRON or in Acrobat reader). This affects
'Typewriter' and 'Inline notes' because they show visible text on top of the
PDF-pages.

[okular] [Bug 451567] New: Text annotations made in Okular are not correctly displayed when the resulting PDF file is opened with other PDF readers

2022-03-16 Thread Mikael
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451567

Bug ID: 451567
   Summary: Text annotations made in Okular are not correctly
displayed when the resulting PDF file is opened with
other PDF readers
   Product: okular
   Version: 21.12.3
  Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: PDF backend
  Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
  Reporter: mik...@openstudio.se
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 147525

Sample PDF annotations made/viewed in Okular and also viewed in pdf.online
web-app

SUMMARY
Text annotations made in Okular are not correctly displayed when the resulting
PDF file is opened with other PDF readers with support for annotations, such as
the free (as in free beer) web-app at pdf.online (powered by PDFTRON) or
Acrobat reader.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a PDF document with landscape format (such as A3 landscape).
2. Add text annotations with typewriter and inline note tools.
3. Save the annotated PDF file.
4. Open the resulting PDF file in another PDF reader with well functioning
annotation tools, such as the free (as in free beer) web-app at pdf.online
(powered by PDFTRON) or Acrobat reader.

OBSERVED RESULT
1. All text annotations are rotated as if Okular can only save annotations with
portrait format rotation. But they will be correctly rotated if re-opened again
in Okular, as if Okular rotates its own annotations internally in a
non-stadard-compliant way.
2. Typewriter text have lost its defined color and be all-black colored. But
the Typewriter text will have maintained its correct color if re-opened in
Okular, as if Okular saves the Typewriter text color in a non-standard
compliant way compared to how free text annotations are supposed to be saved.
3. Typewriter text will have lost its formatting so that some of the text will
not be visible if the text is more than a few words or if it contains line
breaks. But the Typewriter text will have maintained its correct formatting if
re-opened in Okular, as if Okular saves the Typewriter text formatting in a
non-standard compliant way compared to how free text annotations are supposed
to be saved.

EXPECTED RESULT
Text annotations made in Okular should maintain its visual appearance when
opened in other PDF readers with support for annotations.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/Debian Buster
Okular installed as Flatpak from Flathub.
Okular Version 21.12.3
KDE Frameworks Version 5.92.0

[okular] [Bug 451573] New: Okular setting Accessibility - Change dark and light colors - should be renamed to 'Change foreground and background colors'

Bug ID: 451573
   Summary: Okular setting Accessibility - Change dark and light
colors - should be renamed to 'Change foreground and
background colors'
   Product: okular
   Version: 21.12.3

Settings - Configure Okular - Accessibility - Change colors - 'Change dark and
light colors'

Settings - Configure Okular - Accessibility - Change colors - 'Change dark and
light colors' is an excellent option to display text in full yet adjustable
dark mode.

But the way the options are named is confusing, because it makes little sense
saying "dark" or "light" when any color can be set there. In fact under "dark
color" it's the font (foreground) color setting - the one under "light color"
it's the background color. 
And that's how they should be called.

So, instead of :

* "Change dark and light colors"   >"Change foreground and background
colors"
* "Dark color">"Foreground color"
* "Light color"   >"Background color"

--- Comment #39 from Nate Graham  ---
@David Albert said it was fixed in 21.12 (with the appropriate Poppler version)
. You have 21.08.

@Albert Does this mean that Bug 275371, Bug 378186, and Bug 390293 should also
be fixed?

The stamps look fine to me on both the attached PDFs with Okular 21.12.3 and
Poppler 22.03.0 (certainly doesn't look like the attached screenshot), so I
guess it's fixed now?
