GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 721819
Evince fails to display some PostScript files correctly
Last modified: 2018-05-22 15:27:37 UTC
Created attachment 265741 [details] Example PostScript file (bzip2-compressed) I'm using Evince 3.10.0 in a Lubuntu 13.10 x86 VirtualBox VM. Certain PostScript files fail to render correctly in Evince. See the attached example document. It has three pages but when loaded into Evince only the last page is shown, upside-down. At that point Evince reports: (evince:2829): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_get_n_pages: assertion 'EV_IS_DOCUMENT (document)' failed If I then choose Rotate Left the displayed page disappears. Evince reports: (evince:2829): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed (evince:2829): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:2829): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible) Clicking Rotate Left a second time causes the document to be displayed upside-down again. If I convert this PostScript file to PDF (by doing ps2pdfwr filename.ps filename.pdf), Evince does display the PDF correctly. I can provide more example documents if needed.
