2.3 Frequently asked questions

This section covers some frequently asked questions. Please read them first before asking on the forum because your problem might have been covered here.

Q: How can I modify existing PDF documents?

A: That's currently not supported but planned for a future version of the plugin.

Q: Why doesn't the plugin support the conversion of PDF pages to vector brushes on AROS?

A: That's because PDFium requires a compiler capable of handling C++11 and wide characters which is currently unavailable for AROS. But this will hopefully change in the future so that AROS users can convert PDF pages into Hollywood brushes too.

Q: Why aren't Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) characters drawn correctly in my document?

A: Make sure you have a TrueType font that has CJK support installed. For example, install Konatu on your system and CJK characters should be drawn correctly.

—

Q: The 68k version of the plugin doesn't work under OS4 emulation.

A: It seems that the OS4 JIT has problems dealing with the plugin' PDF renderer which is a 5 MB binary. If you really want to use the 68k version of the plugin on OS4, you need to disable JIT for the file LIBS:Hollywood/pdf.hwp. Then it should work.
