  1. More efficient every day: #Poppler, the #PDF engine used by #Okular, gets the KDE treatment and can now generate documents with embedded forms that can be more than 10 times smaller thanks to a technique called _subsetting_. Watch the video to see how this works.

    This feature was implemented by Ojas Maheshwari's during their KDE Google Summer of Code stint.

  6. The #OpenAI #Codex desktop app (since rebranded to just #ChatGPT ) has 1.7GB of stuff in there in a folder called codex-primary-runtime, including a full #Python installation, a full #NodeJS installation, and native binaries for #Poppler, git, and the #LibreOffice open source office suite

  9. #Debian LTS contributors released 52 DLAs fixing 2159 CVEs in July. Notable security updates were released for the #linux kernel, grub2, imagemagick, jq, nginx, nss, poppler, samba and more.

    Debian LTS team took full responsibility of Debian 12 (#bookworm) in July after its last point release.

    Debian LTS contributors also prepared updates for the stable release, Debian 13 (#trixie).

  19. Apparantly, zlib compression in PDF's aren't good enough any longer so new documents migth be Brotli-compressed instead. Not many readers implement it yet, so we better get hacking.

  29. Oh wow. Someone found a way to speed up image rendering by ~32x (or more?) in the Poppler PDF library, and their solution sat in this comment thread because they're unable to fork the repository 😬

    That's quite unfortunate. I wonder what prevents guest users from forking on the #FreeDesktop GitLab instance?

  37. “Secure #redaction by design and through extensive #testing

    #Censor 0.6.0 comes with many more #security improvements, motivated by extensive testing on more then 1,000 #PDF document samples. You may now redact securely also links, form fields and widgets. In rare cases, when partial image redaction fails, the more secure full image removal is used instead.

    But even more important, Censor now warns you, when unsuccessful redaction is detected during postprocessing. This reduces the impact of known issues of unsecure redaction.

    Polish is the 11th language you may speak with Censor. Thanks to its translators (among them, @mondstern)!

    Thanks a lot also to #pypdf, #qpdf, #pikepdf, #Ghostscript, #MuPDF, #PyMuPDF, and #poppler contributors for the great resource of PDF document samples!

  46. After 1.5 years in the making, @gnome Papers 50 will let you create freestanding text & ink annotations on PDFs (using a Wacom tablet stylus, for example), i.e. drawing & handwriting (to circle things or sign documents the old-fashioned way, or highlighting on scanned documents): lbaudin.pages.gitlab.gnome.org

    Used it in practice today. I've been hoping for this for about 20 years.

  51. Extracting embedded images from a PDF

    Surprisingly, the best way (that I’ve found) to do this is to use The Unarchiver, a free app from MacPaw (the folks behind SetApp and many other things). It seems to faithfully extract the images as-is, including ICC profiles (which might technically be separate from the image within the PDF, but nonetheless are crucial to the image being extracted correctly).
