# pdfreader4

pdf reader - early version

Requirements:

- python3

- gtk4 bindings

- poppler bindings

- python3-cairo (optional for the custom image annotation)

Usage: python3 pdfreader4 FILE.pdf

Features:

- tabs

- open and save and print

- table of contents

- navigation

- opens pdf files with password

- text selection: ctrl+left mouse button

- searching (partial implementation; can search only whole words)

- annotations: text, square, circle, free text, stamp (with custom image of type png); except for the text annotation (just click in the page whatever you want), the other ones works this way: after having chosen the type of the annotation, press the left mouse button in the page (the starting point) and drag; release the mouse button

- annotations: can be added (from toolbar) or removed (right mouse button on it); the colour - and the opacity - of the annotation icon to be added can be changed, also the borderd width can be changed, if supported by the annotation

- annotations: the esc key cancel the choise

- annotations, custom image: the png image aspect ratio is preserved, so the final size of the image in the page depends on the with of the selection

- configuration file config.json: toolbar icon size, paper colour, text selection colour background and foreground; fixed window size.
