Description Zack Weinberg 2003-09-11 15:51:55 UTC 
gpdf cannot handle the attached PDF.  It displays garbage instead of the
content.  (It works fine with gv -- use that to see what it's supposed to
look like.)

The garbage appears to have some connection to the content; it shows a
fraction of the letters that should appear on the page, in reverse video
and displaced from where they should be.  Page 1 is not as bad as
subsequent pages.

I am using gpdf 0.103.

Comment 2 Martin Kretzschmar 2003-09-13 19:35:31 UTC 
Thanks, an interesting file. The missing characters are most probably
related to missing unicode mappings (which is perfectly valid pdf,
gpdf just can't handle this, one of its font bugs).

I haven't seen a file with the reverse video like in this file.
Interesting.
Comment 3 Martin Kretzschmar 2004-02-27 23:27:10 UTC 
The reverse video is fixed in CVS now (fixed drawImageMask). The
missing text is the same bug as 112506 :(
