Description Brian C 2011-09-19 17:54:10 UTC 
When opening an Adobe Acrobat Portfolio file, evince just shows a page stating:

"For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later."

I don't want Adobe Reader 9. I want to use evince. Can it support the portfolio format?
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2012-01-20 21:23:51 UTC 
It works in Okular. GNOME must not allow a mineshaft^WPDF gap!
Comment 2 José Aliste 2012-01-20 21:34:34 UTC 
Bill, this is basically because Okular has some basic Javascript support that we dont have still
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2012-01-20 21:42:02 UTC 
Ah, ok, it has to be done in the frontend app, it's not generic poppler functionality that isn't exposed in evince?
Comment 4 José Aliste 2012-01-20 21:48:08 UTC 
there is a mixture of the two. there is some poppler interfaces to read the javascript but then you have to run a javascript runtime and associate real GObjects in Evince with Objects in javascript... but that being said, maybe I can cook up a basic javascript patch that allow us to see these kind of files... I'llo into okular to see how they do it ;)
Comment 5 Federico Bruni 2014-04-05 22:40:48 UTC 
Both Evince and Okular can see the PDF files attached in a PDF portfolio.
But the real experience of a PDF portfolio is different. The main advantage is being able to search across all the attached PDFs from the portfolio file:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS0DDE4501-D955-4a5b-BE27-15C90433CD99.w.html

This can be very useful to read the software documentation splitted in several manuals. For example, there's a LilyPond user who provides PDF portfolio of all the LilyPond manuals.
