Hello,

It is not part of the document properties since it is not a property of the document, but rather of each page, i.e. there can be various page sizes in a single document.

Regards, Adam.

Hello again,

I can't think currently think of a sensible place to display such per-page information in the user interface. Hence I am setting this to Opinion and Wishlist for the moment.

Regards, Adam.

P.S.: The "pdfinfo" tool from the Poppler utils does display this information on a per-page basis for PDF files.

Hello again,

After thinking about it some more, I see one possibility: Showing this information as a tool tip in the thumbnails view, i.e. displaying it when the mouse hovers over the thumbnail of the page in question. You'll have determine yourself if the page size is uniform in the document or not.

Please try out trunk revision 1178 and comment. Thanks! (The implementation includes guessing the normed paper size for Letter and ISO 216 (A? and B?) paper sizes.)

Best regards, Adam.

Hey Adam, I'm happy to try it out "as it comes through"; I'm just subscribed to the standard ppa, not too experienced with manual updates etc. but it does sound good what you describe!
