Description Diego 2005-07-26 03:40:00 UTC

it says:
Error: Kid object (page 350) is wrong type (null)
Error: Page count in top-level pages object is incorrect
Error: Couldn't read page catalog

gv also gives an error but can display it.

The document is almost 5 megs, and i don't know where to put it so that you can
fix the bug.

Can you retry with a more recent poppler version, and if it is still a problem, find somewhere that the problem document can be made available?

Comment 2 Pino Toscano 2008-10-05 07:35:19 UTC

Hello Diego,

any news on this bug? It would be nice if you could try with a more recent Poppler version, given that we don't have the document to test for real.
