As noted in the downstream bug report (here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485538 ) Both okular-4.10.5 and okular-4.11.1 fail to print the attached PDF. The following error appears in the terminal okular is launched from: "lpr: Bad job-name value: Name too long." See the PDF attached there. P.S.: 4.10.5 is the ebuild version for Okular 0.16.5. I will upgrade to 4.11.1 again tonight and report on what version that is. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open PDF linked in other bug report 2. Try to print Actual Results: The document doesn't print and an error is printed to the terminal that launched okular Expected Results: The document prints
Created attachment 83115 [details] Videotron generic contract file Testing if uploaded files get f'ed up here too.
Alright, please download the PDF file from here, I do not know why, but Gentoo's bugtracker messes the file when I upload it.
Tested again with 4.11.2 (Okular 0.17.2), I still get the same error.
Ok, i'm going to need your help here, please get the file i will be attaching and edit it with a editor that doesn't destroy it (kwrite/kate won't work) (vi, nano seem to work) and change the line that says /Title (Les modalités et conditions de la présente Annexe s<90>applique à chaque contrat de service de télécommunications conclu par le Client, soit les contrats de services de télédistribution, Internet, de téléphonie par câble et de téléphonie sans fil) to make it shorter by one character each time until you stop getting the error. Can you do that for us?
Created attachment 83116 [details] the said file
Albert, I do not know if it was because you were puzzled that the title was only one character too long, but that's what it is (I thought I would save time by cutting the title dichotomically, boy was I wrong). Removing a single letter (shortening 'fil' to 'fi') doesn't give the error. Appending a letter to that file makes okular give the error again. TL;DR: One character less makes it work
s/Appending a letter to that file/Appending a letter to the title of that file/
So, just to be sure, can you confirm that deleting one letter from the title makes it work? If so i'll try to make sure that when we create the job name it's not longer than that amount of characters.
Yes, deleting one letter from the title makes it work.
Info provided, back to unconfirmed pending i go back to somewhere i have a printer and can try to reproduce myself.
