Description Tristan Miller 2008-11-20 05:33:53 UTC

Created attachment 20461 [details]
Sample Postscript file which is displayed in reverse order.

I originally reported this problem with Okular at <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175655> but was told it was an upstream fault in libspectre.

The problem is that some Postscript files are displayed with the order of pages reversed.  This is probably because libspectre is not honouring the "%%PageOrder: descend" marker in these files.  I will attach a sample file exhibiting this behaviour.  This file displays correctly with gv and ghostview, but with Okular the order of the pages is reversed.

This was already fixed in libspectre 0.2.1. Feel free to reopen it if the problem persists for you after upgrading libspectre. 

Thanks for reporting.
