Ability to disable link/ref highlighting about pdf2image HOT 5 CLOSED

There seems to be a solution to this in the latest update using the -hide-annotations flag

I am pretty sure this has to do with the xpdf backend. This "boxing" also exists in TexMaker which might be relying on the same library.

That's very interesting, I'll try to confirm that this fixes the issue. We'd have to fix the version detection code first but aside from that it should be straight forward.

Hey, I'm looking at adding support for this flag. Could you let me know what you think about this:

• I figured by default this should be disabled. (Attributes are shown unless told to be hidden.)
• A check makes sure that the user has poppler <= 0.83 (as this flag wasn't available until after 0.83)
  • If they don't have a new enough version it is treated like jpegopt and set back to it's default
• If the user enables pdftocario with this flag a NotImplementedError is raised informing the user that this flag is not implemented by pdftocario yet

I'm not entirely sure about that last one though. It seems like you are keen on making sure the library does it's best at meeting the requirements of the user without whining about incompatible flags.
