Description Raghu Udiyar 2011-10-08 18:44:55 UTC

The text in the table of contents is missing, same for the navigation, the chapter numbers are present, but the text is missing. I guess something went wrong with the conversion

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get latest version from rawhide, i.e. the diveintopython-pdf rpm
2. Install and open the document

I've noticed the same thing with the F15 version.

Comment 2 Andrej 2012-02-17 09:15:13 UTC
Same with F16: missing table of content and navigation in PDF version.

Comment 3 Penelope Fudd 2012-08-23 16:33:59 UTC
Same with F17: missing table of contents and navigation in PDF version.

See attached screenshot of this pdf in Xpdf and Evince, side-by-side.

Comment 5 Penelope Fudd 2012-08-23 16:39:19 UTC
The original pdf file from http://www.diveintopython.net/download/diveintopython-pdf-5.4.zip looks fine, and the datestamp on it is May 20, 2004.

It doesn't look good when somebody breaks a PDF, and leaves it broken for 8 years.

Comment 6 Devrim Gündüz 2012-08-24 19:53:31 UTC
Sorry, I cannot duplicate it in here, when I build the git master (f19) on my f17 box...

Comment 7 Penelope Fudd 2012-08-24 21:36:43 UTC
Well, I'm just using a fresh install of F17 on VirtualBox on a Mac, installed only a few days ago.  Does this mean there's a font missing from the default installation of F17 that this pdf requires?

Please note, both Xpdf and Evince show the problem, so it can't be just one of them.

Actually, on viewing the original pdf file from 2004, I see that the icons for 'note' paragraphs are rendered in the wrong place; they're in the middle of the page overlapping the text, instead of the left of the paragraph.

If it can't be duplicated when you build the git master (f19) of f17, then try duplicating it another way.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 14:44:04 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 16:49:01 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

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

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 13:55:07 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
