Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-12-04 12:47:29 UTC
[ From http://bugs.debian.org/443547 ]

The attached PDF is extremely slow to render in Evince, using Poppler 0.6.2 (cairo backend), it seems to be equally slow in Xpdf.

"cairo context error: NULL pointer" is printed on the terminal.

slow document
Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2007-12-05 10:11:57 UTC
This is because the document has a Pattern which makes it slow down a lot, i though we had already a "Patterns are slow" bug, but as i can't find it i'll reuse this one.

See http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99486 for more info.

To check if a document that takes very long to render or not is hit by this bug just put a return on the beginning of Gfx::doPatternFill and Gfx::doPatternStroke if it automatically goes fast again, you've hit a duplicate of the magnificient and sucking "Patterns are extremely slow to render" bug

Implement tiling patterns in cairo backend

These patches fix the bug for the cairo backend.
Comment 15 Albert Astals Cid 2009-08-15 09:08:48 UTC
I'd say the change to Gfx.cc is ok, though i don't see the need for m1x and m1y

m1x and m1y are needed to restore m1[4] and m1[5] in case of falling back to Gfx code when out->tilingPatternFill() returns false. 
Comment 17 Albert Astals Cid 2009-08-16 08:16:14 UTC
But the first thing done in the "fallback" code is assigning m1[4] and m1[5], so it doesn't matter, right?
Comment 18 Carlos Garcia Campos 2009-08-16 08:39:36 UTC
You are right, I've removed them and pushed the commits. 
Comment 19 Carlos Garcia Campos 2009-08-16 08:40:41 UTC
Moving to splash component since it's fixed in cairo backend now.

Comment 24 Tristan Miller 2010-03-15 03:49:03 UTC
I have a document which is also slow to render (using Okular).  What's the best way of determining whether it's because of this pattern bug, or because of something else?  Is there some command-line tool which will tell me whether a given PDF has a pattern?
Comment 25 Albert Astals Cid 2010-03-15 12:27:53 UTC
See comment #5

Or you want a user level tool?

Will be fixed in poppler 0.18.

Okular backtrace after crash

Hi,

With this fix applied, the PDF documents which were affected by this pattern bug, crashes Okular when Print or Print Preview is clicked.

Reverting the commit fixes the crash but restores the slow rendering behaviour.

Attached is the crashdump. I can reproduce the with the PDF attached to this bug called overall.pdf.

(This is on KDE 4.6.3 BTW)

Thanks.
Comment 30 Albert Astals Cid 2011-06-09 10:52:07 UTC
Can you reproduce the crash using pdftops?

Comment 33 Albert Astals Cid 2011-06-13 10:58:09 UTC
The pdftops crash should be fixed on master, can you check¿
Comment 34 Ozan Çağlayan 2011-06-14 22:38:06 UTC
Yes it both fixed pdftops and okular crashes but the print preview screen is very slow while generating previews.

Thanks.
