sumatrapdf

Not only it can but it does. Just as I was reading this claude implemented a drag&drop of images out of SumatraPDF. I asked: > implement dragging out images; if we initiate drag action and the element under cursor is an image, allow dragging out the image and dropping on other applications then it didn't quite work: I'm testing it by trying to drop on a web application that accepts dropped images from file system but it doesn't work for that Here's the result: https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/commit/58d9a4... It took me less than 15 mins, with testing. Now you tell me: 1. Can a farm worker do that? 2. Can you improve this code in a meaningful way? If you were doing a code review, what would you ask to be changed? 3. How long would it take you to type this code? Here's what I think: No. No. Much longer.

Fixing bugs is the goldilocks zone for ai. Especially if you have a test that the agent can use to test their fix. AI is not a junior developer, as some analogise, but Rain Man. Ultra autistic entity that can chew through way more logical conditions that you. As long as you can describe the bug well ai will likely fix it. Logs help. Let me give you specific example. Here's a fix made by claude to my SumatraPDF: https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/commit/a571c0... I have a crash reporting system that sends me crash information in text file: callstack of crashed thread, basic os info and logs of this execution. The way I (well, claude) fixed this bug is: I said "analyze crash report: <paste crash report>" and it does it in under a minute. Recently I've fixed at least 30 bugs with this process (you can view recent checkins). Those

Not to take away from your experience but to offer a counterpoint. I used claude code to port rust pdb parsing library to typescript. My SumatraPDF is a large C++ app and I wanted visibility into where does the size of functions / data go, layout of classes. So I wanted to build a tool to dump info out of a PDB. But I have been diagnosed with extreme case of Rustophobiatis so I just can't touch rust code. Hence, the port to typescript. With my assistance it did the work in an afternoon and did it well. The code worked. I ran it against large PDB from SumatraPDF and it matched the output of other tools. In a way porting from one language to another is extreme case of refactoring and Claude did it very well. I think that in general (your experience notwithstanding) Claude Caude is excellent at refactorings. Here are 3 refactorings from Suma

I’m curious, have you tried SumatraPDF (uses muPDF under the hood)? https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf

Thank you for reaching out. Please refer to the following issue list from SumatraPDF repo [1] [2]. Epub rendering issue like [3] [4]. [1] https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues?q=is%3... [2] https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues?q=is%3... [3] https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/2752 [4] https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/3761

Do you mind reporting those issues either to SumatraPDF at https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues or directly to MuPDF at https://bugs.ghostscript.com/ if it also has the same issue? Thank you! There are many wonderfully weird PDFs and epubs out there, but we do our best to fix issues. :)

None, AFAIK. Canonical: https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/191

You mean "ability to drag out a tab to open it in new window"? If so, you can do in latest update [1] [1] https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/releases/tag/...

The big update of SumatraPDF was out yesterday [1]. There are a lot of bugs fix and improvement in the backlog [2]. [1] https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/releases/tag/... [2] https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/3672

I make do with SumatraPDF. https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf

FWIW, https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/1249 ("Support form filling for at least 1040 irs form") has a comment saying "MuPDF-GL has the capability to edit fields and save the PDF" of a 1040. I have just learned the Firefox 93 added support XFA - https://techdows.com/2021/10/open-xfa-pdfs-in-firefox.html . So it would appear there are free software solutions to XFA forms. Just because something doesn't seem far-fetched to you, doesn't mean most people will regard it as far-fetched. Many people all sorts of "sectarian objections" - far more than there are SovCits or other tax protesters. Stallman has never come across as a tax protester. Ergo, I think it's far-fetched that "sectarian objections" is strongly associated with tax protests. Further, at https://stallman.org/archives/2017-may-aug.html we can read Stallman opin

For PDFs you should try this bad boy https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf

Still no released support for screen readers [1]. The developer seems confused about whether muPDF should have the support [2] (accessibility is the responsibility of the GUI - it needs to provide an accessibility tree for any manually rendered text).

I used to use sumatra myself, in fact before I started developing sioyek, I tried to add some of the features to sumatra here: https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/pull/869 . Anyway, I don't think sumatra has these features: * Marks * Preview links * Jump to figures if the PDF doesn't have links * Portals * Searchable highlights And some other features which are shown in the video and github page. Also sioyek is available on linux and macos.
