If there are popup windows in the pdf file xpdf shows a question in a
red circle (I don't know if there is a possiblity in xpdf to activate
them, but it does not matter) and xpdf also puts those question marks
in circle into the postscript when printing or converting using pdftops,
when the pdf files says so (which some pdf files in the wild do so
annoyingly, I suppose acroread does some javascript that finaly removes
them or something like that, so nobody seems to care to fix those).

It would be nice if xpdf and pdftops had possibilites to suppress those
annotations. Attached patch does this. (At least it works here).
It adds a -noannots to pdftops and pdftoppm and an checkbox into the
xpdf print dialog to suppress those.

Hochachtungsvoll,

Hi, Bernhard.

I am interested in keeping xpdf alive in Debian and I am in the process
of integrating patches. One of them would be yours, but I don't have any
PDF file with annotations.

Do you happen to have one so that I can see how things work?


Thank you very much, Rogério Brito.

thanks

we are now using poppler in xpdf, and most of this code applies to code
that is no longer built here.  it is built in poppler.

best wishes,

Looks like there isn't interest in this anymore (as it was reassigned
over a year ago and the submitter has yet to respond).

Looks like I didn't respond to the bug report, only privately.

I'm more interested in this than before, as I get quite a lot complains
about this recently.

Please let me know if you need anything to do something against the
problem.
