Right-to-left languages compatibility (Arabic/Hebrew) edit

As far as I know, the only PDF reader that can perform correctly "copy" (and paste to another document) and "find", for right-to-left languages, is Adobe Reader (the others reverse word order: "הלימ" instead of "מילה"). I've tested recently Foxit reader 4, but still no such functionality. 132.64.34.238 (Talk | Contribs) 04:25, 2 November 2010

Soda PDF errors edit

Soda PDF is only in the Multi-platform table w/ a Yes for Mac OS support & Mac OS X in Win. support column. Yet Soda PDF's article says it supports Windows & nothing else. If it supported Mac OS in the past, Mac OS X should be moved to the Mac OS col., Yes added to the Win. col., & Soda PDF added to the Win. table. If it didn't support Mac OS in the past, Soda PDF should be moved to the Win. table.24.123.84.22 (talk) 18:41, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Inaccurate information in "Viewers" subsection? edit

  1. Both "Mozilla Firefox" and "PDF.js" are listed. The PDF viewer included in Firefox is PDF.js, so I see no reason for both to be listed separately. Only PDF.js should be listed, with the note that it is included by default in Firefox. The license for "Mozilla Firefox" also contains the license for the browser in its entirety, not just the PDF viewer.
  2. "Google Chrome" is listed as it contains a PDF viewer. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Chromium also contain the same PDF viewing software? If this is the case, then this should be listed as "Chromium", and its license should be the BSD license, not Proprietary. There can be a note in the description that states that this same software exists in Google Chrome.

“Pages can be later combined using PDF printer” edit

This page says for Inkscape: “Pages can be later combined using PDF printer”. What is meant by that? I see two ways for getting PDF files from Inkscape: One via Print → Select Printer → Microsoft Print to PDF, the other via Save As. In neither do I see a way to combine pages. ◅ Sebastian 04:59, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

LibreOffice Description edit

I came across a source that says that LibreOffice Draw saves PDFs as a Raster Image rather than a true PDF. Can someone with more knowledge on the subject please check this out? The info is from the comment from Stuart Foote in the forum linked below. https://www.libreofficehelp.com/modify-edit-pdf-free-libreoffice-draw/ WPatrickW (talk) 19:37, 6 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
