I would say graying out all inapplicable options is definitely a good idea. I guess another question that we need to ask is if the user needs to know they're using poppler. Perhaps the checkbox text could be something more useful for users. I'm not overly fond, but something like "Increased accuracy with fewer editing features" might be a better option.

Cheers,
Josh

The Popper Import is "just" a different conversion and came up as we had and have several Problem with our internal PDF importer.
Unfotunatelly Popper creates SVG via the cairo Output and so there is only Limited Control. I have no possibility to specify any options or Parameter. At least the Given SVG is always of reasonable Quality. In an optimal World there should be only One conversion.
What about to make all other options as "Not selectable" When the "convert via Popper" is checked?

Ps: plus. Forgive the upcases, I am writing with my iOS ....

Okay, so I have questions now. :)

With the poppler-based import it is converting text to paths (or symbols from what I saw), but it still leaves the "import text as text" active and looking as if it will be how it functions. Is not importing the text as text via Poppler a bug or what we should expect?

What is affected by the poppler import aside from text? I'm partially asking because if the only difference (as far as users are concerned) will really be text, if the above is a feature, should it just be added as an option in that "Text handling" combobox which only has one option as opposed to the checkbox?

Cheers,

Hello,

as already discussed here is a patch that moves the pdf poppler-cairo importer into the native pdf importer.

Thus it obsoletes the current pdf-input-cairo importer and removes from the source three.

If nobody complains I will go ahead and commit within the next days.

Regards,
Adib.
