GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 170207
Slow, incorrect rendering of this pdf file
Last modified: 2006-03-14 17:33:19 UTC
Hi, there seems to be a problem with the following file: http://www.fh-coburg.de/uploads/media/stundenplan.pdf I opened it with Evince from hoary (0.1.8-0ubuntu1) and it gets rendered very slowly, but after some time evince shows the content. Acrobat on Windows opens it fast.
Updated Link: http://www.fh-coburg.de/uploads/media/stundenplan_03.pdf New file, old problem
yep, it's pretty slow ;-)
Looks like a poppler issue, please follow these instructions: http://www.gnome.org/projects/evince/helping.html#poppler
I took care of this one. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979
Because it is going to look terrible if 'our new awesome pdf reader! look how awesome it is!' in 2.12 is slow like a turtle on downers, and because I can't track things in other bugzillas, I'm reopening this bug to track evince performance as a stopper for GNOME 2.12.
Forgot to cc myself.
And of course, if you've got a better suggestion on how to track this, I'm all ears, but I don't see an easy one ATM. :/
Another very slow-rendering PDF to test is the one in bug #307724.
*** Bug 307724 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
attachment 47787 [details] : (from bug 307724) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=47787&action=view demonstrates the exact same bug (a bar on the right side of the doc). It is worth noting that: * this runs a lot faster than it used to * other formerly problematic pdfs now render incredibly fast * it now *renders* problematically, which it does not in kpdf or xpdf.
The example in comment 10 renders identically in acroread and evince for me, and is nearly instantaneous loading in evince. FIXED?
Looks like it, at least for now. I'm sure there will be others (I have one sitting on my desktop, in fact) but lets close this out.
