Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs OS: Linux KPDF doesn't display correctly a PDF file with accentuated caracters. For example instead of reading "récapitulative", i have "r capitulative" However the issue may be more complex. 1. XPDF doesn't show the PDF correctly 2. the PDF is not shown correctly by ghostview/kghostview 3. pdf2ps failed to convert this PDF 4. pdftops convert it in PDF but the content is incorrect here is pdf2ps output : [admin@info1 commun]$ pdf2ps MatV16m.pdf /tmp/test.pdf Error: /undefined in --get-- Operand stack: --dict:4/4(L)-- F1 16 --dict:9/14(L)-- --dict:12/16(ro)(L)-- --dict:9/14(L)-- 0.001 --dict:9/14(L)-- FirstChar Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 1 1 --nostringval-- %for_pos_int_continue --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- %array_continue --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push --nostringval-- %loop_continue --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1115/1686(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:85/200(L)-- --dict:85/200(L)-- --dict:104/127(ro)(G)-- --dict:241/347(ro)(G)-- --dict:20/24(L)-- --dict:4/6(L)-- --dict:26/31(L)-- --dict:4/4(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 ESP Ghostscript 815.00: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Created attachment 10801 [details] PDF file which is incorrectly displayed PDF file which is incorrectly displayed. You should have : Fiche récapitulative €uros Maître 4éme trimestre
Xpdf author acknowledge me this will be fixed in xpdf 3.1 which should be release shortly.
Will be fixed in KDE 3.5
Albert, would you mind pointing me to the patch solving the bug ? Mandriva KDE teams is willing to see it in order to see if there's a possibility to backport it to KDE 3.4. http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17728
Well, that's not easy to backport as the patch that fixed that is the xpdf 3.01 merging in kpdf codebase that means a HUGE patch, you can get it doing svn diff svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kdegraphics/kpdf -r 450654:450655 But i'd suggesting using KPDF from the 3.5 branch and not trying to use 3.4 branch + that huge patch
Laurent Montel from Mandriva have include KPDF 3.5 in our KDE 3.4 package but the bug is not fixed and I still have the issue
Created attachment 12388 [details] screenshot showing KPDF display bug and KPDF version screenshot showing KPDF display bug and KPDF version
Montel's KDE 3.5 checkout for kpdf may be old, that is fixed.
