GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 739315
Crashed while opening PDF document
Last modified: 2014-10-29 16:38:43 UTC
The attached PDF leads to segfault of evince when scrolling down to page 138. qpdfview renders it with no problems. Running XFCE on Arch Linux.
Created attachment 289537 [details] The PDF that makes evince crash. NOTE: I have the explicit permission of the author, Prof. J. Hromkovic, to share this file in this bug report. I used pdfshuffler to cut the pdf to around the problematic part only.
No problems here with evince-3.10.3-1.fc20.i686 and poppler-0.24.3-3.fc20.i686
Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately it lacks some information that may help us in finding the cause of the bug. This may be a Poppler Bug (the backend used by Evince to render PDF), could you please supply the poppler version and type? You can find it in the Help->About menu in Evince. Also, may you get a backtrace? https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/Bugzilla/GettingTraces We have seen some reports coming from Arch Linux users, I would like to check whether is the same bug that Bug 738846 or a different one.

Please install debug packages for cairo, poppler, evince and (lib)glib2. Afterwards, please attach the stacktrace again here.
Sorry, I don't know how to apply https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Debug_-_Getting_Traces#General , e.g. to poppler. How do I correctly install the dbg packages in Arch?
Although there are missing symbols in cairo, for the parts related to poppler:

It is a duplicated of Bug 738846 (something that Arch Linux users have been experiencing). It is either a bug in cairo or poppler, but not Evince. Thanks for the bug report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 738846 ***
