Description Seb L. 2015-06-29 09:51:14 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #789194 +++

Description of problem:

I do not know if it is a bug, but Evince and ePDfviewer do not display LibreOffice comments.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Name        : poppler
Arch        : i686
Version     : 0.16.7
Release     : 1.fc15


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with LibreOffice writer with comments
2. Export to PDF with the comments
3.
  
Actual results:

The comments are not displayed, there is a comment gray icon instead.


Expected results:

The comments are displayed


Additional info:

I first thought is was related to Evince, but ePDFviewer also relies on poppler.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 1 Seb L. 2015-06-29 09:54:58 UTC

Confirmed with:
  Fedora 22
  libreoffice-writer-4.3.7.2-6.fc21.x86_64
  poppler-0.26.2-9.fc21.x86_64
  evince-3.14.2-2.fc21.x86_64

How to reproduce:
- create a new libreoffice writer document
- insert a comment (Insert -> Comment)
- export as a PDF with comments (File -> Export as PDF...)
  (don't forget to tick "Export comments")
- open the resulting PDF with evince

All you get is a blank page with a gray icon, with no comment visible.

Comment 2 Seb L. 2015-06-29 09:55:55 UTC

Sorry mistook the release, this machine is of course running Fedora 21 (not 22).

I will test on Fedora 22 tonight.

Comment 3 Marek Kašík 2015-07-01 13:54:27 UTC

I've tested this with F22 and it doesn't work there too but it works in F23 now. A fix for this was committed 1 month ago upstream. I've backported the fix to F21 and F22.
The problem was that width of the area specified in "/Rect" field of the annotation was too small (e.g. /Rect [ 149.7 97.3 149.8 185.1 ]).
The fix sets size of the rectangle to 24x24 by default (which is probably the same behaviour as in acroread so I'm not escalating this to LibreOffice).
