Press Release: Okular, world's first eco-certified software product!
Apologies for cross-posting! [Deutsch unten] 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!

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!

[okular] [Bug 402033] Okular "typewriter" annotation tool - can't change text font or colour

[okular] [Bug 413324] "Typewriter" annotation tool - Text too high to show some diacritics
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413324 Mikael changed: What|Removed |Added CC||mik...@openstudio.se --- Comment #6 from Mikael --- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
[okular] [Bug 451519] Typewriter ignores rotation
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451519 Mikael changed: What|Removed |Added CC||mik...@openstudio.se --- Comment #2 from Mikael --- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
[okular] [Bug 451567] New: Text annotations made in Okular are not correctly displayed when the resulting PDF file is opened with other PDF readers
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 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=147525&action=edit 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 Qt Version 5.15.3 (built against 5.15.3) Using Poppler 22.03.0 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
[okular] [Bug 451573] New: Okular setting Accessibility - Change dark and light colors - should be renamed to 'Change foreground and background colors'
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451573 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 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org Reporter: cipri...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 147527 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=147527&action=edit 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

[okular] [Bug 383651] Custom/image stamp annotations are not saved into the PDF file in a way that can be printed or that other readers can see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383651 --- 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? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
