1644726 - Firefox PDF reader rendering issue with embedded PDF

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect)

Description

[Seth Borg]

Attachment: 2020_brochure_LAST_PAGE_USES_EMBEDDED_PDF_DOESNT_RENDER_IN_FIREFOX.pdf

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0

Steps to reproduce:

When creating a pdf in indesign there is an option to embed an image that's embedded within another pdf. Doing so causes firefox's pdf reader to render it incorrectly

Actual results:

checkout the last page of the attached pdf. The image of the hotel is correctly placed but it messes up all the rest of the stuff that is on the page. some of it can be seen smaller and most of the way to the right of the page.

Expected results:

I made another pdf that does not link to an image in an embedded pdf and it works normally. let me know if you need it as an example of what it should look like. or you can just view the attached pdf in acrobat, edge, or chrome since their pdf readers don't have this problem.

Hi,

I have managed to reproduce this issue on release version 77.0.1, Beta 78.0b7 and latest Nightly 79.0a1 (2020-06-14).
Further, I will move this over to a component so developers can take a look over it. If this is not the correct component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.
Note that the issue is not reproducible on Chrome.

Thanks for the report.

Could be related to the warning during rendering the last page:
Warning: Knockout groups not supported.
