Description Bastien Nocera 2006-11-18 14:48:19 UTC 
Evince 0.5.1

The file at:
http://www.ville-yzeure.com/renvois%20docs/pdf/Yzeuremag95.pdf
can't be opened.

I get the error:
Error: Document has not the mandatory ending %EOF
on the command-line.

But there are 2 problems:
- The error message when opening this file is rubbish:
Failed to load document (error 3) 'file:///home/hadess/Desktop/Downloads/Yzeuremag95.pdf'
- The file can't be opened. It most likely is possible to open it with Acroread.

It's a poppler bug, please report it to the poppler component on bugzilla.freedesktop.org.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2006-11-18 17:50:59 UTC 
I opened https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9075 for the poppler problem. Reopening for the crappy error message.

We should probably fix this in poppler-glib too. I'll look at it.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2007-10-22 18:32:47 UTC 
The original reproducer isn't there anymore. I've asked the webmaster for it.

I've just fixed the poppler side in order to provide better error messages when  document fails to load. I'll fix evince as soon as poppler 0.8 is released.

This bug was already fixed.
