Description Thomas Zander 2005-12-24 01:39:08 UTC

Version:           0.5 (using KDE 3.5.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.13.2

To my surprise I found no way to figure out if the document I was looking at is a A4 or a Letter document.
I expect to see at least the millimeters (or inches) size of the pdf I have open.

The File->Properties dialog would seem a good place for it.

Dito, this is an important information.

Quick'n'dirty patch for the missing dimension information (applies to page one only)

This is a quick hack for the missing dimensions info in kpdf. The patch doesn't
honor that pdf-documents can have different page sizes (e.g. first page has
other size than third page). It display the dimensions for the first page only.
This would have to be fixed in the future... Todo also: display size in
millimeter or inches instead of points.

okular (www.okular.org) has this feature implemented. KPDF is on manteinance mode for KDE 3.5 and will desappear on KDE4, so that feature can not be implemented in KPDF. Thanks for the patch anyway :-)

Re. comment 3:

Does okular display the size for each page while it is in focus? Somewhere in the status bar?

Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2009-08-27 00:02:06 UTC

As said KPDF is no longer developed and Okular has already the feature. Closing this wish
