GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 614549
Evince can not open the attached pdf
Last modified: 2010-05-21 15:09:03 UTC
Created attachment 157670 [details] non working pdf Adobe reader displays about 3 lines of text. evince only shows 1.
almost forgot, here is the downstream bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/547225
I know it doesn't seem like a lot (3 lines vs 1), but this particular document was generated to have no personal information for the purpose of the bug report. Normally they have names, addresses and phone numbers of people, but I didn't think it was approproate to upload one of those for all to see. This document has the miminum amount of text to show what is happening with the bug without releasing sensitive information.
It's a bug in poppler, I've just fixed it in git master: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/commit/?id=8c6aefb8aa8929b9c47791d3062ed3ac8512626f Thanks for reporting.
Does anyone know when this will hit the repositories? I would really like to get these types of pdf's working in evince. I have tried to compile it, but I couldn't find the configure or makefile in the .tar.gz
The fix is already in poppler 0.13.3.
Oh Wow. So do I need to file another bug report, because it still doesn't display the document correctly? I am using Ubuntu Lucid.
No, at least not here, file a bug report in launchpad, the bug si already fixed upstream.

This package provides the GLib-based shared library for applications using the GLib interface to Poppler. Original-Maintainer: Loic Minier <lool@dooz.org> When will the latest one (newer than .12.4) be in the repositories? Or would it be better to compile from source? In that case should I purge the one I have installed first?
I don't know anything about the ubuntu plans, you'll have to ask them.
