Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs I'm having problems displaying Japanese language pdf files. With some, no text is displayed at all (not even gibberish), with others, Japanese text is displayed in some parts but not in others. Also, pictures included in the pdf files are shown incomplete or in an unusually low resolution. All files are, displayed correctly in KPDF/KDE3. (If needed, I can provide the pdf files in question.)
Sorry, the pdf files are too large to upload. I can either mail them when requested, or they can be downloaded directly from the following website ('Softbank', a Japanese telecom): 1. Overview over mobile phones: http://broadband.mb.softbank.jp/mb/product/3G/pdf/lineup_3g.pdf 2. Overview over mobile phone functions: http://broadband.mb.softbank.jp/mb/product/3G/pdf/spec_3g.pdf
Work fine here. About the text thing i already told you to install poppler-data package, it is not fun that you ignore me that way. About images, i see all of them the same way in okular than in Acrobat Reader please attach a screenshot showing the problems you see with images.
As for the pictures, I found out that they are displayed alright; however, it takes some time until the full resolution is reached (ca. 10 sec on my 1GHz laptop). A good file to test this with can be found here: http://www.topeak.jp/images/pdf/babyseat/M-TCS01-J-5-05_000.pdf (Interestingly, the Japanese inside this file is displayed correctly in Okular on my system, while KPDF/KDE3 apparently has problems with it. As for the poppler-data package, I haven't found it yet for openSUSE 11.1. Am working on it. Cheers homoludens
Alright, I've installed poppler-data, and the bug has been fixed. Thanks a lot for your help! PS: The poppler-data package has now been added to openSUSE 11.1, and has also been marked for inclusion in further releases. Cheers, homoludens
I have been able to view Japanese documents for some time. But my attempt to view them today has failed - I just see gibberish. It has been a couple of months or more since I last viewed one (successfully). I suspect that some online-update has broken things. I do already have poppler-data installed. Another thing that was broken by a recent update is Yast2 package management using the Yast2 GUI. It works correctly with the curses interface from the command line but fails with a QT error from the GUI.
