Fix for xpdf to allow cut 'n paste to work properly
This patch was writtern for xpdf v2.0.
The patch basically makes xpdf ICCCM compliant.
It will probably apply to the earlier versions as well.
rebuild xpdf with your patch. It does not work with openoffice! What version of openoffice and version of xpdf did you use? I just looked at xpdf v1.0, and it is radically different. Last night, on a clean Redhat 8.0 machine, I downloaded xpdf-2.01, applied the patch from this page. This is what worked: 1) Hightlight text in the xpdf 2) Center click in OpenOffice NOTE: I center clicked, rather than cut and paste. Also, make sure that xpdf really owns the selection. If you highlight something else xpdf will NOT erase its own highlight. (Unlike Xterm) Also, I've find that some pdfs don't allow cut and paste. (I think that this is a security issue) Try the following: 1) Highlight something in xpdf. 2) Center click in an xterm. (if text appears, it is a good pdf) 3) Center click in openoffice. If things don't work, I will fix this.... Just give me more details. it looks like that the fix is already in new upstream 2.02. |
