[+gnome] Re: selecting pages in evince

[Paul Sheridan <paul sheridan ucd ie>]

Hi Wouter
Thanks for the swift reply. I am aware of these features in the print dialogue. However if the desired pages are rather scattered throughout the document this can get very messy in the 'print range' box. The other idea was simpler and more accessible. It seems a pity to have lost functionality. I do appreciate it's limited usefulness, though I find my self wishing I had it quite often.
Kind Regards
Paul

I used to use gpdf and ggv a number of years back and now understand  
that evince has replace these. One of my favourite features of gpdf was  
the ability to select a page (with a tick mark) and also to invert the  
selection later on. This does not see to be a feature in evince. Have  
you comments on that, plans to include it or do I have the wrong idea?
    

The ability to "select pages" is not of much use. I vaguely remember that
(in gpdf), this was only used to select which pages you wanted to print. If
you want to selectively print pages in Evince, you should use the print
dialog (which is the logical place for such things), and choose which pages
you want to print. To print a single page, one can just navigate to that
page, open the print dialog, and select "print current page". If one wants
to print all pages except (for example) pages 4 and 5, one opens the print
dialog, and types   1-3,6-  in the "print range" input field.

Hope this helps, and thanks for using Evince.
