[gentoo-user] Kpdf crashes with large documents.

[gentoo-user] Kpdf crashes with large documents.

[Dale]

Hi,

I recently "stole" me a Motorola Razr phone and it didn't come with the
manual.  I downloaded it off the Motorola website and was reading, or
attempting to read, it when Kpdf crashed.  It does this when I scroll
down to about page 30 or so.  It's a pretty large document since it has
both English and Spanish. 

I did re-emerge Kpdf, both versions of qt that I have on here and even
glibc.  Those are the things mentioned in the crash report.  It still
crashes.  Could this be something besides Kpdf?  Anybody else see
something in the crash log?

Here is the crash log:

I snipped out the repeating stuff.  Thoughts?

Thanks.

P.S.  I bought the phone really cheap.  I just "feel" like I stole it.

I did use something else to finish reading my manual but I prefer to use
Kpdf since I am accustomed to it already.  I just want to try and get it
fixed for next time plus, it may be a bug that needs some Raid sprayed
on it.

All of the open source *pdf readers have had  problems
over the years. Sporadic and hard to find, in my
experiences. The more sophisticated pdf files especially.


good luck.

This is the first time I have had trouble with it crashing like this.  I
don't use one enough to try to learn another one tho.  Plus, that would
be one more package to keep up to date.

You wanna post the PDF?  I'd be curious to see if it crashes kpdf on
my system...

It is pretty big so I'll post a link. 

http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/motorola-razr-v3i_user-manual.aspx

Just click on the link to download the manual.  I think it is about 4 or
5Mbs or so.  I'm on dialup so it takes me a little while.

This may also be a bas download.  In my searches on google, someone
mentioned a bad/missing font could cause that but I got a lot of fonts
installed on here.

Thanks

Sorry to rub it in Dale, but it took 12 seconds to download here. And yes, it 
crashed my kpdf ... and my xpdf.

Oddly, KGhostView renders it fine. Something fishy...

Well...I've seen more than one dodgy PDF document crash readers
before.  Seems that there must be features or fonts (as mentioned
earlier...) which can crash readers that were not written by Adobe...

About the broadband.  :-P   LOL

I used Kghostview here and it worked fine.  I even printed it with it. 
No problem there. 

Anybody think of anything else I can re-emerge that may help?  Here is
my current emerge and USE flags:

Same here on a generally stable Gentoo on which Kpdf & Xpdf are reliable.
IIRC i've seen rare cases of this before, when KGV saved the day.
The problem here happens with certain pages in the file, eg  p 10 ;
some later pages, eg  pp 11-12 , are ok.
There must be something in a few pages which is not correct PDF format.
Has anyone searched Gentoo Forum/Bugs or KDE bugs ?
Anyway, it's clearly a bug in Kpdf, which sb reported.

Could it be a font that is missing or corrupt?  It is strange that
Kghostview works tho if it is a missing font.  Could it be qt or some
other lib that has a issue?

I did search for "kpdf crash" on fgo but have not searched bgo.  Should
this be reported to KDE folks or Gentoo folks?

I don't have problems with fonts otherwise.
The version of p 10 shown by KGV doesn't seem to have anything unusual,
but perhaps one of the little graphics is causing a problem.

> Could it be qt or some other lib that has a issue?

Not given that Kghostview renders it.

One of us shd report it to the KDE bugzilla,
but also their database sb searched first.

One further idea is to see what happens
if you try to open it with Open Office 3 , which claims to input PDF.

I have OOo3 here and it said it was a 13,000 page document and it was
full of garbage at that.  That didn't work or I did something wrong
one.  May be the later tho.

You need to install the (beta) add-on, which should open it in Impress.
However, when I try that -- even with a much shorter PDF file --
it just goes on & on & on using CPU till I kill OO.

Has anyone managed to get PDF import to work with OO 3 on Gentoo ?

Well, my CPU went to 100% for a bit to but it did eventually come up.  I
don't mind my CPU going to 100% since I run folding anyway.  I wouldn't
let it run forever but a few minutes doesn't bother me.

Worked OK here with kpdf-3.5.10, but I didn't try every page. an
you confirm which page causes the crash?

Why are you downloading from a site like this when the first result from a
Google search for "motorola razr v3i user manual" is to a PDF on
motorola.com?

See the rest of the thread ! -- try page 10 ...

That seems to render ok upto c page 32 .

However, it doesn't alter the fact that there is a bug in Kpdf,
which should never crash whatever file it's given: at least,
there sb an appropriate error message with 'ok' to close cleanly.

I think I did, I've scrolled as far as page 52 now with no problems.

Got to page 50 on this one too, still no problems. Could it be version
or USE flag dependent?

% emerge -pv kpdf

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kpdf-3.5.10  USE="-debug" 0 kB

OK, that rules out USE flags, but it may be worth trying it
with debug enabled.

If you have the thumbnails on the left, just scroll down a good ways. 
It crashes every time here.  It doesn't even start to render the page
before it dies and I don't even have to select a page either.  Does give
me that cryptic error message tho.  So nice of it to do that.  :/

For me, this pdf crashed evince in cffparse.c:361, which is indicative 
of a bug in freetype (bug 247104) for which I just committed a fix.

I got it installed and it did not crash.  I could scroll all the way to
the bottom of it.  This seems to have fixed it.

I guess I was right, it was a font problem.  That was what Google came
up with and they were old as the hills.

Thanks for getting it fixed for me and the rest of us.

Yes, Kpdf & Xpdf now show p 10 correctly here too.
