Description Kieran Clancy 2007-11-29 22:53:25 UTC

This PDF, which works without problems in Xpdf 3.02, does not render properly in evince 0.8.2 (poppler 0.5.4).

See URL field for the problematic PDF.

Will attach screenshots of page 3 from both evince and xpdf.

I tried this with evince 2.20.1 (using poppler 0.6(cairo)) on Fedora 8, and it is still a problem.

I saw a lot of "cario context error: out of memory" errors on the command line.

It does render OK with the Qt4 test application (i.e. using splash) for poppler head. Can't test with cairo on head.
The Qt4 test app did show this error sequence:

Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping
Error: Unknown font tag 'C0_0'
Error (190696): No font in show

for each page (although the number on the third line changes).

xpdf-3.0.2 also shows the Error: Unknown character collection 'Adobe-Japan1' line for each page.

Possibly a bad combination of cairo backend bug and some incomplete stuff in poppler core?

Comment 4 Jeff Muizelaar 2007-12-04 20:39:53 UTC

Sounds like 9846 which should be fixed by a newer cairo.

Comment 5 Tobias Florek 2008-09-19 12:18:58 UTC

a similar-looking bug appears on ubuntu with evince 2.23.92 (deb version 2.23.92-0ubuntu1) and libpoppler 0.8.7 (0.8.7-1) with this document
http://www.huettenhilfe.de/wp-content/uploads/kochbuch/Tapas-Kochbuch.pdf

pdffonts outputs (a dozen times) 
"Error: Missing language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping"
and one found font.

installing the package cmap-adobe-japan1  (or ...-japan2) does not make a difference (but i have no idea, what this is about, so this might have been expected).

Comment 6 Tobias Florek 2008-09-19 12:25:39 UTC

i have just seen, that this seems not to be a bug in poppler (or evince), but in ubuntu, as it works if i install ubuntu's poppler-data package.

sorry for the noise.

Comment 7 Albert Astals Cid 2009-06-17 14:35:03 UTC

Seems to render fine for me, please reopen if it still fails for you.

Comment 8 Kieran Clancy 2009-06-17 15:16:37 UTC

Yes, this is fixed for me too now, using:
evince-2.26.1-1.fc11.i586
poppler-0.10.5-1.fc11.i586
