Description npscott 2010-12-02 16:01:40 UTC
In evince a certain pdf url was said to be corrupt in 0.15.3

The same file opened flawlessly in 0.14.5.  Xpdf reads the pdf flawlessly as well.

The same results happened with epdfview and okular ( both depend on poppler ) so  it seems to be a poppler 0.15.x problem.

here is the offending url

Works for me. Are you sure you have rebuilt your programs using poppler since there were changes in poppler that might need that?
Comment 2 npscott 2010-12-03 21:02:58 UTC
Yes I did rebuild evince to test after building poppler 0.15.3.

I also did the same with epdfview and okular.

All of them yield the same results.  This is the only stubborn PDF file I have come across so far.
Comment 3 npscott 2010-12-03 22:06:50 UTC
Here is the command line error messages I get with evince and epdfview.

Error: Internal: called getRawChars() on non-predictor stream
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table

Can you please paste your configure/cmake output? Specially the summary at the end.
Comment 5 npscott 2010-12-04 19:39:57 UTC
Problem fixed.

I originally passed the --enable-zlib ( which worked in the 0.14.x serides ) when I compiled it.

Recompiling the code without the --enable-zlib fixed the problems.

Will be fixed for poppler 0.16.0
