Description Justin Zobel 2023-10-07 23:55:36 UTC 
`appstreamcli search pdf` shows Okular.

However, searching for PDF in Discover does not show it.

It is in the appdata as shown https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular/-/blob/master/shell/org.kde.okular.appdata.xml?ref_type=heads#L206

I believe it may be because it has several lines in the appdata and maybe Discover is only checking the first?

Comment 3 Justin Zobel 2025-10-07 00:57:45 UTC 
Similar, but not exactly the same.

The term pdf is in the appstream data, for example Okular's
      <li>Supported Formats: PDF, PS, Tiff, DjVu, Images, DVI, XPS, Fiction Book, Comic Book, Plucker, EPub, Fax</li>
    <mediatype>application/pdf</mediatype>
    <mediatype>application/x-bzpdf</mediatype>
    <mediatype>application/x-gzpdf</mediatype>

The linked bug is about the name of the application.
