Description Dominique Michel 2006-07-10 02:24:44 UTC

xpdf doesn't show the graphics in this file:
http://hdr.undp.org/reports/global/2005/francais/pdf/HDR05_fr_chapter_4.pdf
It is the same with the other files at
http://hdr.undp.org/reports/global/2005/francais/

Kpdf exib the same behaviour as xpdf, and with gv I see nothing. If I click on
the page icon at the left in gv, I see the page a fraction of second and it
desappear.

With xpdf and kpdf, when I look to page 5 (123 in the text), I see a black
graphic on the left and a black and green graphic on the right, but I have no
idée of what is on those 2 graphics.  It is the same with the other graphics in
the file.

You can see my bug repport on gentoo bugzilla:

The link is 404'ing for me.

Can you please provide another example, or a working link?

Thanks.

They are in the process to change the website. From http://hdr.undp.org/en/reports/global/hdr2005/chapters/french/, you can download the chapters and have links for different languages. 

For this particular file, they made a new version, and it is still the same problem, but with xpdf only: http://hdr.undp.org/en/media/hdr05_fr_chapter_41.pdf

For information, the English version of this file is looking good with xpdf: http://hdr.undp.org/en/media/hdr05_chapter_43.pdf

Well, I guess you can close this bug. I am using gentoo and it was with xpdf-3.01. I try both the portage version that is patched against popler and the orginal xpdf sources. 

I just try to remove 3.0.1 and to install xpdf-3.02 from the sources, and the problem is gone, the graphics are just fine. So I will stress the gentoo devs to bump the version.

Closing based on advice from original reporter.

Dominique: thanks for following this up. Appreciated.
