747899 - PDF rendered with garbage characters

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect)

Description

[Patrick McManus [:mcmanus]]

Love pdf.js, but this morning I loaded a document and got garbage characters everywhere (though the diagrams were inlined correctly). Other pdf's continue to load ok, and acroread and evince were able to load my problem document fine.

This is 64bit linux with the 4/23 nightly.

I can't attach the doucument to the bug because its content is actually embargoed against publication right now - but its not super sensitive and I can email it to the appropriate developer..  just let me know who that is :)

In most of the cases that's connected with the fonts used in the pdf. You can send it to me, I'll share it with the rest of the pdf.js dev team. We will try to match that with the known issue at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues

Artur, it is REALLY impolite to close a bug as incomplete without specifying what information it is you are missing.

In comment 1 yury asked for the document to be sent to him privately and I did so.

Checked on Linux (and other platformes). The issue appears to be fixed.

If the issue still exists, check the http://mzl.la/pdfjs-test page. If the @face-font tests are failing, then the user chose that web pages are not allowed to used their fonts (see Preferences -> Content -> Fonts & Colors -> Advanced).
