Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-05-30 14:51:41 UTC 
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/47432

"My current dapper gimp is unable to open PDFs. After asking for desired resolution etc., I get the error "Plugin could not open image".
...
> Works fine on my box too. Do you have an example to point? Is that specific to one pdf or happening of any of them?
...
Indeed, the above PDF works here as well. What does not work is e.g.
http://code.google.com/soc/SoC2006StudentForeignCertification.pdf.
My gimp version is 2.2.1
...
Does not work with the google SoC PDF linked, I get this error message if run from a shell:

 **** Warning: An error occurred while reading an XREF table.
   **** The file has been damaged. This may have been caused
   **** by a problem while converting or transfering the file.
   **** Ghostscript will attempt to recover the data.
ESP Ghostscript 815.02: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1"

GIMP 2.2 uses GhostScript to open PDF files. If there's a problem, please file a bug-report against GhostScript.

FWIW, the poppler plugin in GIMP 2.3 opens the PDF just fine.

Also, gs 8.53 handles this file ok too. It's in the gs-afpl package in Debian unstable; I don't know if Ubuntu packages it.
