Bug 105180

When using Okular, I'm getting often "Bogus memory allocation size" error messages from pdf files exported by Inkscape. This typically involves embedded bitmaps, and the bitmaps do not display on the screen.

I'm trying to figure out if this is an inkscape or poppler problem. 

A reduced test case is attached (svg, pdf, and png rendering to show how it's supposed to look). 

Thanks a lot for your help.

Further information: 

* Gentoo
* Inkscape 0.92.2
* Okular 17.12.2
* Poppler 0.62.0

This problem has been plagueing me for a while though.

the pdf is weirdly constructed.

There's a relatively "crazy" transformation matrix
  18158.399546 0 0 -7163.799821 -0.000000345 7163.799823 cm
which when asked to zoom ends up needing too much memory and poppler bails out.

poppler "could" try to work with such strangely formed documents but it seems to me that it's much better if inkscape creates better formed pdf files.

OK thanks. I'm going to submit an Inkscape bug and link to it here. Let's see what feedback we get there.
