Created attachment 134447 [details] PDF file which fails to compile in pdflatex I am using poppler/pdflatex on Arch Linux, after the upgrade from poppler 0.57.0 to version 0.59.0 I am getting the following error: [11 <./chain.pdf Internal Error (0): Call to Object where the object was type 5, not the expected type 8(edited) Removing all the pdf files from the tex file compiles the document normally, also when downgrading back to poppler 0.57.0. I attached one included pdf file, which raises an error. The pdf file was created by gnuplot version 4.6 patchlevel 6.
I don't understand, is this a pdflatex error? If so open a bug in their bugtracker and not in poppler Also i see a pdf file you have attached, how would a pdf file "fail to compile", isn't the pdf the result of the compilation?
I thought this might be a poppler issue, since poppler is called from texlive and only poppler has received an update. But I now see, that arch has modified version of texlive, in this new release: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/texlive-bin&id=9d93b64063f7d98568d4f029453c7edf5597a7b4 (I only read the commit message before) I will first write a bug report in the arch bugzilla. The issue is, that the compilation of the pdf document fails, when the attached pdf file is included, that is why I thought it might be a poppler issue.
I can confirm such bug. Same here... Arch Linux and after poppler being updated pdflatex crashes... downgrading poppler to 57.0.1 solves the issue...
Well if you think it's a bug in Poppler you should at least give us a way to reproduce the bug, no? Otherwise how are we supposed to investigate?
Same error here. It was solved downgrading poppler to 58.0.1 and downgrading texlive-bin to texlive-bin-2017.44590-2. The problem can be reproduce with a latex file with a includepdf command.
Same. Downgrading poppler, poppler-glib, and texlive-bin fixed it
This still isn't an actionable bug report since no one has given any information beyond "pdflatex doesn't work on Arch". I'm betting it's related to the recent Object API changes though, since texlive uses poppler's private API. In which case, the correct place to handle this is in the Arch bug tracker, so they can fix their library dependencies, and in texlive bugtracker, so they either switch to using a supported API or update their use of the private API.
I can confirm this problem on ArchLinux. I was able to fix this by keeping the new poppler package but install texlive directly from the official website rather than the Arch repo. So it is highly likely that this is an ArchLinux problem.
The problem has been resolved, it seems, that it was an error in the texlive-bin package. Sorry for the inconvenience.
