Description Pino Toscano 2008-09-21 10:51:29 UTC
Previously reported as:
  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171416

libspectre fails to render the second page of the specified document (available as attachment in the original bug report).
When trying to render it, the following line:
   undefined -21
is outputted to console.

This happens with both libspectre 0.2.0, and the current Git/master version.
Comment 1 Carlos Garcia Campos 2008-10-12 09:12:44 UTC
Hey pino, the problem with that document is that the second page depends on the first one. Try with 

gv -page=2

for instance. I think this document should include an Special PageOrder comment header. Add

%%PageOrder: Special

at the end of the initial comments and it will work. 
Comment 2 Pino Toscano 2008-11-23 02:16:11 UTC
So the problem is really in the document?
Isn't anything that libspectre can do to handle this situation?

Well, I think the document is thought for printing, assuming it'll always be read sequentially.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Ideas are always welcome, of course.

Looks like a problem in the document itself rather than a libspectre issue, closing.
