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.

“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!
