846359 - New PDF Reader displays the adobe check mark as number 4

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P3)

Description

[lvoelk]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.97 Safari/537.22

Steps to reproduce:

In our SaS we generate stamped pdf forms using iText.  If you set up a accroForm to use the adobe check mark if the check box is set, the new Firefox Pdf Reader will not display it correctly.


Actual results:

Instead of a check appearing you will see the number 4 in the check box.  If download the pdf and open it in adobe reader, it will display a check properly


Expected results:

This worked before you switch to the new reader.

This support forum contains links to example PDF's of this happening:

We are also currently experiencing this error, the downloaded PDF contains the checkmark, it is only when viewing in FF that it appears as a '4'.

I don't see any links to pdf files there, only a screenshot. Please also don't link to other pages if an example is requested, just post the direct URL.

Any fixes yet?  This is hugely problematic for our PDF driven applications.

Issue is still present as of 6/12/2014 running Firefox 30.0
Similarly, using squares in lieu of checks results in an "n" being rendered, but after download a square appears appropriately.
