Description gregh 2017-04-12 10:08:24 UTC
Hello,

Centos 6
Qt: 4.6.2
KDE: 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4)
Okular: 0.9.5

When I open this file:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/373604/IHT419.pdf

It crashes with this as the output : 

Error: Mismatch between font type and embedded font file 
Error (35076): Missing 'endstream' 
KCrash: Application 'okular' crashing...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Would be useful to be able to complete the form on my centos box.

Cheers

Hi Greg,
that's a pretty old version you have.  Can you try a newer one?  On my machine I have poppler 0.48 and okular from git master (admittedly, that is very new), and I don't get crashes.  I also tried 'atril', the (poppler-based) viewer from mate 1.16, and it doesn't crash either.

It is the default version on Centos 6, so I guess I am stuck with it not working. ....Unless there is an easy way to upgrade it without breaking anything.

It opens with xpdf but it does not have the forms button to be able to fill in the form fields (which okular has).

Cheers Greg

You may want to try the experimental flaptak packages https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Flatpak

Other than that, this bug doesn't exist in non ancient versions so i'm going to close it, we can't fix a bug that is already fixed.
