KiCad 7's PDF plotting is pretty awesome... depending on the reader you use.

@baldengineer oh, it's JS stuff… not even sure it's part of the normalized PDF standard.

Sadly I don't think any Linux PDF viewer handle that yet. (and some official French administration forms use this without care about Linux users but eh)

@mmu_man It’s still better than a bitmap. At least things are properly searchable.

@baldengineer wonder if it's possible with SVG as well… in theory you could use CSS in them, and have things shown o mouse hover…

@baldengineer seems to be a separate issue, JS is already partially implemented:

gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler

(libpoppler is used by evince, okular and about all other PDF viewers)
