Created attachment 20237 [details] test case Attached PDF contains four homework problems, but in Evince it appears as only the header and the numbers 1-4. The actual problem text is missing. Seems to be a Poppler bug because other tools like pdftotext also ignore the text in question. pdfinfo says the PDF was produced by "Mac OS X 10.5.5 Quartz PDFContext"
After testing with poppler_qt4viewer and Git, it still only renders the title and numbers. I do see this though: Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Korea1' mapping Error: Unknown font tag 'F3.1' Error (400): No font in show Error: Unknown font tag 'F3.1' Error (414): No font in show Error: Unknown font tag 'F3.1' and so on.
Brad, you don't seem to have poppler-data installed
Yep, that was it (installed, but not in the right prefix). Now works for me. Keenan: maybe you need to upgrade, or to install poppler-data? Brad
I installed poppler-data and now it works, but I think there's still a bug here because clearly not everyone has that package installed. It shouldn't just silently display a page with missing text. It should either ask for the user to install the extra files it needs, or do a better best-effort rendering.
I don't see it quite the same way. I think it is a packaging bug - in Fedora (for example), poppler-data is provided by the same package. If you don't have it, consider filing a bug report with your distro. Note that poppler does report missing fonts (as seen in my previous posting).
