Description Alvaro Aguilera 2009-03-31 17:07:01 UTC
Version:           0.8.1 (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1) "release 106", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.20-0.1-pae

It would be nice to have the possibility to append several documents together (for instance PDF and/or PS files), remove or change the order of certain pages and then export it or print it out as a single document.

Those are features suited for a document editor, which Okular isn't and won't be. Sorry.
Comment 2 Alvaro Aguilera 2009-03-31 17:29:35 UTC
I want neither to edit a single word of the document nor to make any other permanent changes.

I just want to be able to open 2 or 3 pdf/ps files and watch them in presentation mode without needing to change from one window to the other. Following this idea I also want to print out this 3 files using some nice layout, like 4 pages per side in duplex mode, as if they were a single document. 

No "editing" there.

This is "editing". Creating a new document appending many together is "editing".

Well, by your definition, you are also creating a new document when printing to a file... 

I see how the moods are, so nevermind.

KPDF works just fine. :)

This is just the same document, not a different one, whose content is untouched. Just a format change.

It is always interesting to see how classify people when "the exact feature I want" is not accepted into an application which has not those features in its goals.

Brought to you by the same people who bring you Okular, with the same ideas.
