Ok, just realized that my last mail was too harsh, i want to apologize if you 
felt offended.

I feel proud you decided to improve kpdf but you should really reconsider your 
decision to work on the KDE3 branch instead of okular as KDE4 is 
what "everyone" will be using in a year timeframe and that's where we want to 
have the cool features.

Please consider joining the okular mailing list at 
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel and working with us to 
make KDE have the best viewer all around.

Albert
