Description Gregor B. Rosenauer 2008-09-18 17:23:16 UTC 
Version:           0.7.1 (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.1), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-19-generic

For some reason I cannot open a particular document on a network share (others on the same share work fine, I hope it's no FS issue).
Okular then only displys blank pages, but the real error is hidden in the console output:

Error (924986): Bad 'Length' attribute in stream
Error: Weird page contents

In that case, okular should display an error and *exit* instead of displaying only whitespace, leaving the user to wonder what happened.
Comment 1 Gregor B. Rosenauer 2008-09-18 17:24:02 UTC 
btw the network share is a samba share hosted by an Ubuntu server.
However this is completely transparent to okular as the share is mounted over a local mounpoint.

Can you please attach the faulty document?
Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2008-09-18 22:20:09 UTC 
Not an I/O error, the document is just faulty and confuses our renderer. It will work with poppler >= 0.9.1
