| Yesterday it was discovered a problem in which saving (using Save As...) the currently opened pdf document over itself destroys the document. The simple fix is not doing it as there's no point in it :-D. You can see the bug report at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120674 and the patch that forbids you to do that operation at http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdegraphics/kpdf/part.cpp?rev=501814&r1=499855&r2=501814. The problem got caught too late and will not be in KDE 3.5.1 release. |
