Development
PDFView is a work-in-progress: there are many more features planned before the 1.0 release, and work is done continuously. If you wanna help in its development, anything is appreciated, may it be a bug report, a feature request, an offer to translate PDFView in another language, or willing to help with the code.
Here's a short list of the major planned features:
- AppleScript support
- New miniatures display style, more like Preview
- Bookmark system
- Annotation support, with text notes, highlighting and some simple drawing tools
- Apple Remote support
For the full list of ideas, you can look at the file "Status.oo3" in the sources.
Known bugs
This is a short list of already known bugs, on which I will start working as soon as my exams will finish. Thanks to all the people who signaled them, and please avoid reporting them again.
- PDFView keeps the file locked, even when the document is closed.
- The resizing behaviour, when toggling the drawer, will be updated in a later release.
- Support for LaTeX projects with more than one input files will be added.
- Requirement for PDFSync will be scrapped, and PDFView will move to the more modern system used by TeXShop.
- Some kind of marking will be added, when opening a specific file in a PDF from a latex source.
- PDFView uses Tiger's default component for displaying PDF files, called "PDFKit". Unfortunately, this component doesn't allow (that I know) features such as "fit to width", "fit to height", "size window to height" and so on. So, please stop asking for those features: I really can't implement them, I am sorry.
