A list of important / desirable tasks

pdf-isearch

Allow for entering multi-byte characters with some input-methods.

The PDF buffer is in uni-byte mode. It prohibits the user from inserting multi-byte characters in the minibuffer with some input-methods, while editing the search string.

pdf-forms

Add support for editing forms

Recent poppler versions have some support for editing forms.

pdf-annot

Add support for free-text annotations

Updating the annot list buffer is too slow

• Update it incrementally.
• Possibly skip the update if the buffer is not visible.

epdfinfo

Maybe split the code up in several files.

pdf-view

Provide some kind of multi-page view

Make persistent scrolling relative

Currently the scrolling is kept when changing the image’s size (in pdf-view-display-image), which is actually not so desirable, since it is absolute. This results e.g. in the image popping out of the window, when it is shrunken.

pdf-info

Add a report/debug command

• Display a list of open files
• Display pdf-tools version as reported by package.el
• Display custom configuration for pdf-tools (how?)

Use alists for results instead of positional lists.
