A bit rough on the edges, see the TODO and FIXME notes ;)

It adds a "Save page as" feature which allows user to export document pages as a PNG (it's possible to add support for other formats too...)

Thanks Priit, nice patch. 

We should think a bit on this capability, so please don't worry that there is no response.
Comment 3 Carlos Garcia Campos 2007-01-27 12:39:15 UTC
hmm, you already can do that by printing current page or even a page range to a file (postscript or pdf). 
Comment 4 Praveen Thirukonda 2010-01-07 21:23:26 UTC
@carlos:-

wouldnt that be true only if say a pdf printer was installed which it wont be in say on windows and on distros that dont ship one.

also going to print menu to do this is highly unintuitive. though imho as Nickolay said i also think we should think about having this capability or not

I'm still not sure about this feature, you can do the same (you can save even more than one page into the same document) printing to a file (ps, pdf and svg) which is available even if you don't have a printer. Regarding the patch, it render the page in the main (ui) thread, which is not acceptable. Thanks.

I do not think this feature will ever land on Evince.

Besides printing some pages, there are alternative applications like Pdfmod to do such sort of operations.
