           Summary: editable print preview
           Product: cairo
           Version: 1.1.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: cworth at cworth.org
        ReportedBy: woutervanwijk at netscape.net
         QAContact: cairo-bugs at cairographics.org


In the gnome-bugdatabase ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327119 ), I
expressed the idea to make the print preview editable. 

[...Many times, e.g. when you print a webpage or a pdf, my print would be better
(or cheaper, saving me some ink) if I could remove or add something. E.g. add
note when printing a webpage, or remove a big picture because I only want the
text, etc...] 

I got an answer that it's a nice idea, but with the next-generation rendering in
Cairo, it would not be possible to do something like that. I think that's a
pity, so I post the suggestion here. Maybe it would be hard to do, but it would
certainly be something very nice to have.
