Description Bruno Laturner 2009-10-31 03:48:09 UTC

Version:           0.9 (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), MS Visual Studio 2008 SP1)
Compiler:          cl.exe
OS:                Microsoft Windows (unknown) release 6.1

Okular doesn't open PDF files in the KDE 4.3.1 and KDE 4.3.2 builds for Microsoft Windows, when trying to open them on Windows 7 (Release Candidate build 7100). Other files are fine (at least the JPGs I tested).

I uninstalled all the files, then downgraded to KDE 4.3.0, and now it works fine.

I'd say the culprit is poppler 0.12.0, shipped in since 4.3.1 release. In the 0.12.1 release notes they say they fixed a lot of WIN32 issues, which might be related to this problem.

The Version of Okular is Release 4.3.2:
Okular
Version 0.9.2
Unter KDE 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2)

Comment 3 Vx++ 2009-11-27 19:01:30 UTC

It works for me with the latest Version:
Okular
Version 0.9.3
Unter KDE 4.3.3 (KDE 4.3.3)

Comment 4 Diego 2009-11-29 14:40:20 UTC

Confirming here too. Now Okular opens PDFs again.

Comment 5 Bruno Laturner 2009-11-29 16:15:37 UTC

Works like a charm in 4.3.3. Thank you for the fix.

Comment 8 robert wilson 2010-04-26 04:38:20 UTC

i'm getting the same error with kde 4.4.0 (okular 0.10) on windows 7.

Comment 9 bencord0 2010-07-17 23:07:36 UTC

Same error, same fix from comment #2 (just needed openjpeg).
KDE 4.4.0, okular 0.10 (from the windows installer)
Windows 7 Pro (64-bit)

Is there something wrong with the installer pulling in dependencies?
