Ubuntu :: Export Okular Annotations From Computer To New One
Sep 14, 2010
I've recently installed Ubuntu on a new machine and I'd like to export the annotations for my pdf files from the old computer to my new one. I'm aware that Okular has an export option that allows me to save the annotations of a single pdf and share it with an other person using okular, but that's not what I'm looking for. I've lots of annotated pdf files, and I was wondering if there is one way to copy the folder containing the files with the annotation to the right place in my new computer. There should be no problems since on both the machines I've installed the same version of Ubuntu and I already copied the "Documents" folder from one computer to the other (so that the files would have the same path). What I really need to know is which folder (or folders) I need to copy.
I've finally got all my accounts the way I like them in Thunderbird. I'm using IMAP and so don't have to move the emails, but how do I migrate my account settings to my other computers? The other machines are running WinXP.
Yes, I know this is not a good practice, and this is only a short-term solution.I have a server with a web-file-server daemon running internally as root, so the permissions for all files it transfers/creates have a uid/gid of 0:0.This is fine for the daemon, but I would like to manage those files from another workstation - actually a few workstations on a very limited LAN subnet - through NFS. How would it be possible to have users from a certain subnet mount NFS with root read/write abilities?I have seen the anonuid/anongid options (for the /etc/exports file), but I'm not so sure this is the right way to go.
I'm doing some screencast presentation. I've recorded the videos with gtk-recordMyDesktop, now I need to make some annotations on that. What would be best software where I can put some text labels onto the video? I'd love to have possibility to stop the original video for the moment, than put the text on the "stopped" frame, show it for a second or two and than continue playback ...
I know I can achieve it in kdenlive by cutting the video into pieces, than exporting last frame, duplicating as image annotated in gimp, but it would be LOT of work ... I need simpler solution!
I have received some PDFs which have been annotated using Adobe software. I would like to be able to read these annotations. I'm using Document Viewer in Ubuntu 8.10.
I can't figure out how to set Okular to be the default PDF viewer.Using Ubuntu 10.04. And it keeps using evince to open PDF files even after I changed it. See the attached picture for what I've already done.
Since upgrading to 11.04 I am finding that Okular gives an error message on every file that I try open with it. I have just installed the latest update and it still reports that it is unable to open the file. Even a file on the desktop gave the same error.
I want to embed a movie in a latex beamer presentation. I run Ubuntu 10.04 and I know running pdf embedded movies under Linux is still a problem.From what I have been able to dig up, the guys at Okular have partially solved this problem. It seems that Okular under KDE is able to run embedded movies in a pdf presentation. I downloaded it and it doesn't work for my Ubuntu distribution.Can anyone confirm this? Will installing kde through apt-get solve my problem?
I'm asking this because it also seems to be a pain to uninstall KDE and it's components after installing it.By the way, I am completely open to dual booting into a different distro in order to see my embedded movies, so if anyone has embedded movies working in some other distro, I'm open to installing it!
I'm working on a latex document with a default installation of latex/kile. Strangely enough, upon a document change, okular does not reload and display the changes. This is contrary to all other pdf viewers that I have used. Is there anything that can be done? I noticed that in the okular settings, there is an option to "Reload document on file change." Even though it is enabled, okular does not oblige.
I am using Kile, to edit LaTeX documents and every time I click on build button Kile opens Okular which shows my .pdf. Problem begins, when I do this multiple times, as Kile opens another Okular for same document everytime I click build button. I end up having 1 pdf opened multiple times and it is getting on my nerves. Is there any way I can make Kile open only 1 Okular window and updates it when I click on build button?
First of all I must admit that I am quite new with linux, and maybe the problem I am experiencing is something trivial. Nevertheless I don't have any idea about how to handle it. When I try to print a file with Okular or with Acroread what happens is that the applications crashes and I have to terminate it, and the file is not printed.
However, while okular seems (after lengthy evaluation) my preferred pdf viewer for READING. I still have yet to find a good application option for reading AND annotation and highlights.Where and how do I get to the okular annotation tools? Can't find them.Also, on a different, but somewhat related topic okular has been reviewed as problematic because its highlights and annotations can only be viewed in that application (this may not be a prob because cross-platform but that still seems risky to put highlights on doc only viewable in one app.looking for fixes/alternatives to that).
Accidentally noticed that I am NOT able to print pdf files in Okular (Version 0.9.4, KDE 4.3.4). Clicked print and nothing happens, no error message.The same file CAN be printed using evince on the same system. I've created the pdf file using soffice so permissions is not a problem.However, the same file CAN be printed in openSUSE's Okular.If someone can confirm that I am right/wrong, then I can decide whether to file a bug report?
Like [Okular-devel]bug report okular started to crash when opening some pdf files after upgrade to kde 4.3.4 I found out that the probelm was not actually in kde but another update - at some point poppler (libpoppler4, libpoppler-qt4-3 and others) was updated to 0.10.1-1.7.1 but okular did not work fine with it any more. I solved the problem by downgrading poppler back to 0.10.1-1.4 (repo-oss) and all pdfs worked fine again. The bug report above states that newer okular would need actually newer poppler (0.12.x) but it is not provided at least for opensuse 11.1 yet.
OpenSuse 11.1 64 bit kernel 2.6.27.39-0.2-default kde 4.3.4
I write my courses with Latex and I used Kdvi to read them. Since there is Okular the rendreing is very bad and I have to use back xdvi which works perfectly but is less friendly. I have no problem with pdf files. Did somebody exprience the same thing? How is it possible to solve it? I forgot to say that the problem occurs with opensuse 11.2, 11.2 and I've updated to the last version of Okular
having trouble printing an encrypted pdf file (bank statement) using Okular. Have an HP f-2200 printer with HPLIP 3.9.8 CUPS driver. Using Okular 4.3.5
Every time I tried to print this file the print notification would advise printing began and then printing completed. However, nothing was ever printed. Looking at the print queue I can see that the print queue has also stopped and I need to restart this as root.
I was scratching my head for hours and playing with the print driver thinking there was a problem there. However, everything else prints fine.
I then noticed that this pdf doc is encrypted - but that is all the information that okular gives in the properties dialogue.
I installed acroread and was able to print the document right away without problem. Looking at the properties dialogue in acroread it identifies what is allowed and what is not allowed in the encrypted file. It lists "printing" as allowed.
Does Okular struggle with encrypted files as far as printing is concerned? Worth filing a bug report?
I found a particular pdf in wich okular's review function is not working. Whenever I press F the review menu doesn't show, and by trying to access it via tools -> menu it looks like the function is disabled. Why does this happen in a particular pdf (all other pdfs I've read in okular didn't have this problem).
I get heaps of errors from Okular saying that /tmp/kde-luke/* cannot be opened. I think it is doing this because I downloaded files from Firefox and opened them then closed firefox before closing the pdf files. I have tried uninstalling a purging Okular deleting the applications stuff in my home directory but it is still obsessed with these files. The only way I have been able to stop these annoying pop ups is by having the application uninstalled or running a starup script that will create these files on boot.
Since I installed Slackware 13.37 I'm having problems with Okular. Whenever you open a .pdf file, it crashes immediately. Opening other file formats works fine.
I open a PDF file in Okular it shows up with Content Pane at left side. In 'Settings'-'Show Navigation Pane', it is possible to hide the Content Pane. But next time when another document is opened, Content Pane shows up again. Is there some way to definitely hide Content Pane?
I am using Okular as a chm reader (I know how to use extract_chmlib and htmldoc.. but with those two I can only make HTML-only documents and not image attachments..)and it just happens so I would like my machine to read the text... i have both festival and espeak installed (as well some gnome-based plug-ins)... But I just can't get Okular to speak.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 with a Laserjet 5M printer. When I attempt to print a job from Firefox or from Okular, the job never gets onto the print queue. However, I can print test pages on the printer and also print from OpenOffice, so this seems to be app-dependent. I know the jobs aren't being queued because the job number doesn't increase (as shown by the jobs for the test pages). Both Firefox and Ocular give every indication that the print job has been processed correctly.
I need to convert an ODT file to a PDF file in OpenOffice. I cannot use the "export as PDF" option because this is to submit homework, and the teacher will not except it that way. He says it looks crappy. So where can I get a good add-on that does this?
I have an installation of ubuntu (not a virtual disk) that I'd like to turn into a virtual box drive so that I can import it into virtual box on another system. Is there an easy way to do this?
