Description Bichoy 2008-01-17 17:51:22 UTC
Version:           unknown (using 3.5.7, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.12-desktop-1mdv

I was using KPDF and I was face with a very long text pdf document. Ten's of pages without any pictures.
It was so hard to read it due to its font.

I hope to add this two features for KPDF:

1 - Make me select the font and its size for the main text body to replace the original font of the document (as long as it is packed as text in the PDF).

2 - Give me another option, that of "Inverting the colors". It will be so easy to  read WHITE text on BLACK background for hours without any complains in the eye. (This feature as that of the default consoles, also as many programs such as Cadence composer, AutoCAD, and many others,.....)

Thank you KDE team for this splendid desktop

Settings -> Configure KPDF -> Accessibility -> Change colors -> Invert colors.

Thank you so much..

As the colour inversion problem is dealt with, the remainder of the bug is a dupe of bug #137062. Marking as such.

I would just like to 'me too' this bug. I have a particular PDF file with a terrible embedded font that emulates the sender's handwriting. I can either export the PDF as text with pdftotext and loose all the critical diagrams, or suffer through this ridiculous font. As text, this should be easier to configure.
