In some PDF documents (in particular, those produced with the LaTeX Powerdot class using a certain page size), the internal page bookmarks are all off by one. Take the attached document as an example. Regardless whether you use the document's own hyperlinks in the left-hand column of the page, or okular's built-in table of contents, clicking on "A" takes you to slide "B", "B" takes you to slide "C", and "C" takes you to slide "D". This problem also occurs when viewing the document with Evince, but not when using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Is it possible the problem is with Poppler, then? (If so, any ideas as to what in Poppler is causing it? I can file an upstream bug report if necessary, but it would help if I could provide further details.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached document test.pdf and click on the "A", "B", or "C" links in the left-hand column of the page or in Okular's table of contents. Actual Results: 2. Clicking on "A" takes you to slide "B", "B" takes you to slide "C", and "C" takes you to slide "D". Expected Results: 2. Clicking on "A" should take you to slide "A", "B" to slide "B", and "C" to slide "C". The document was created using an up-to-date TeX Live 2016 system and Ghostscript 9.19's ps2pdf: $ cat >test.tex \documentclass[paper=smartboard]{powerdot} \listfiles \begin{document} \begin{slide}{A}\end{slide} \begin{slide}{B}\end{slide} \begin{slide}{C}\end{slide} \begin{slide}{D}\end{slide} \end{document} $ latex test;latex test;dvips test;ps2pdf test.ps $ okular test.pdf The problem may have something to do with the page size. The problem does not occur when "smartboard" is changed to "screen", "a4paper", or "letterpaper". Looking at the Powerdot source code, it doesn't seem that Powerdot itself uses the page size to determine how the bookmarks are set.
Created attachment 101582 [details] Sample file showing bookmark bug
I can reproduce this problem, with current Master. But I think it's a Bug in poppler. I also tested it with various other pdf readers: Okular: Bookmarks are off by one Firefox: Same Problem Evince: Same Problem Chromium: Works fine Adobe Reader: Works fine
Yes, please report against poppler: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=poppler
Upstream bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102698
The Poppler developers claim this is a bug with Ghostscript, wither I have reported it: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698530
