Pdf-view-mode, page numbers not shown

[andersjohansson]

The page numbers shown in the modeline when using pdf-view-mode from the brilliant pdf-tools (https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools) are not shown with powerline: Without powerline:

What pdf-view-mode does is setting mode-line-position locally for the mode:

(setq-local mode-line-position
          '(" P" (:eval (number-to-string (pdf-view-current-page)))
            "/" (:eval (number-to-string (pdf-cache-number-of-pages)))))

https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/blob/master/lisp/pdf-view.el#L260

I don't know how this relates to what powerline does and if it can be solved on powerline's side.

In case my pull request is denied, you can check it and fix it for youself. Dont forget to disable pdf-misc-size-indication-minor-mode.

this is because we don't use mode-line-position, rather we just show the row and column separately. so I don't know what to do here except that to change the themes to add some visualization for the pdf-tools specifically.

Well that exactly what I did in that pull request attached.
