Description okular improver 2008-09-30 21:48:52 UTC
Version:           0.7.1 (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I created a LaTeX source file /home/user/kpdf-versus-okular.tex (shown here in Kate: http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kpdfversusokulartextp5.png ). Next, I opened up a Terminal (Konsole) and executed: cd /home/user && pdflatex kpdf-versus-okular.tex; The relevant output of this command is the PDF it generates: kpdf-versus-okular.pdf. I started KPDF, got rid of all the toolbars, navigation panels, menubars, etc. and opened /home/user/kpdf-versus-okular.pdf (shown here: http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kpdfresultsot6.png ). This is how the page ought to look. I then started Okular, got rid of all the toolbars, navigation panels, menubars, etc. (just like with KPDF) and opened /home/user/kpdf-versus-okular.pdf (shown here: http://img201.imageshack.us/my.php?image=okularresultsov2.png ). Notice the enormous disparity in the margins between the two PDF viewers. Until recently (sorry, don't remember exactly when, but definitely sometime around the weekend), Okular rendered the document just as KPDF does. Looks like a regression, but I'm no expert, and request the pertinent developers kindly fix this.

Thanks!

Hello,

unfortunately, without a document it is quite difficult.
Could you please attach a sample PDF document that shows the issue?
Also, what is the version of your Poppler-Qt4 library?

Some things you should do next time:
 * Do not use a mail address that you think makes you seem smart, you loose points at how seriously i'll take your issues
 * Do not host images at imageshack, they die fast and are a pain to view, just attach them to the bug

And i doubt this is a bug, you probably have "Trim borders" activated.
Comment 8 okular improver 2008-09-30 22:24:08 UTC
Albert Astals Cid: Trim borders was indeed on. Status of bug changed to INVALID.
Also, if you're going to mention something about someone else's intelligence, learn the difference between loose and lose.
Comment 9 Albert Astals Cid 2008-10-01 00:12:38 UTC
:-)

What has intelligence to do with the hability of not making typos in the third language i speak?

I'm glad your problem was fixed.
