Ark opens files in a Previewer that looks like using a KPart to show PDF files using Okular. This preview sports the known sidebar with Bookmarks, Annotations, etc. Hoewever, it does not have a Print option. This renders the entire feature really useless. Situation is: I get an encrypted ZIP file (which I have to open in Ark, and so I cannot use the ZIP kio slave that works with Dolphin) and I want to print a PDF that is inside that file. At the moment I have to drag the file out to the desktop (and Folderview widget accepts the drag event at random, so not reliable there), open it in Okular, print it, and then delete it afterwards. So, we really need a Print function/button there. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have an encrypted ZIP file in Ark 2. Open the PDF inside the ZIP file 3. Preview opens Actual Results: There is no print option Expected Results: There is a print option I already filed this to Ark but Ark seems rather unmaintained and I think this is an Okular issue, so I hope you can help here. :)
There has been already since KPDF times, see the KParts::BrowserExtension class. If Ark/$application name does not use it, that's their fault.
