Description Martin Doucha 2009-01-26 20:03:47 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Compiler:          GCC 4.3.2-r2 i686 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I need to print some automatically generated PDFs which all produce broken PostScript when printed from KPDF. I know this report is similar to bug 127627 but the example file from that bug works fine for me.

Compare the PostScript files using diff to see what lines cause trouble to PostScript parsers.

You mean you killed all that font info? You did not fix it, see how gs complains

Can't find (or can't open) font file /home/tsdgeos/Resource/Font/TimesNewRomanPSMT.

Sadly, although i can reproduce the bug i'm closing it as WONTFIX as we are not working on KDE 3 anymore and there is no kpdf in KDE 4, so this bug won't be fixed.

However, okular that is the kpdf successor in KDE 4 still has the same problem. The problem is in a code located in an external library called poppler. I've opened a bug in their bug tracker. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19747
