From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060223 Fedora/1.5.0.1-5 Firefox/1.5.0.1 Description of problem: Evince seems to process PDFs created by KDE/konqueror very slowly. I have several from a coworker who uses KDE and each one is very slow to initially display. xpdf displays them instantly. I actually thought that evince had locked up but it does eventually display them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-0.5.1-1, poppler-0.5.0-4.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. get pdf that was generated by kde 2. try to view it 3. Actual Results: evince locked one of my cpus for over 30 seconds, only showing "loading" and then eventually displayed it. Expected Results: should have displayed it instantly Additional info: I'll attach a sample next.
Created attachment 125419 [details] kde pdf created by printing to pdf
*ping* Is anyone working on this? I have seen this on quite a few PDFs, even those not from KDE. I just pinned one down here, check out: http://www.vdew-bw.de/images/aktuell/Strompeise_Deutschland_2006.pdf Creator: Acrobat PDFMaker 5.0 für PowerPoint Producer: Acrobat Distiller 5.0 (Windows) evince displays "Loading" for a veeeery long time on the first page. Eventually you can view the document. But when going to page four, it seemingly stalls again. Fedora Core 5 evince-0.5.1-3 Also seen in bug #201542, apparently.
Kristian, maybe we should consider getting the new poppler out as an FC5 update ?
I rebuilt poppler-0.5.4-1 from the Rawhide/FC devel SRPM (but didn't rebuild evince as it is dynamically linked). I saw no improvement on the file mentioned in comment #2. I fear Matthias' suggestion in comment #3 may improve the application as a whole, but not for this case. I may need to go upstream with my report...
Filing an upstream bug and attaching the problematic pdf files is always a good idea.
As noted in bug #201542, this seems much better with evince-0.6.0-6.fc6 poppler-0.5.4-5.fc6 albeit on FC6 (with the examples given in comment #1 and comment #2). I guess FC5 is EOL, so there'll be no updated packages for that. Could someone else at least confirm that the two examples work okay for them, and then perhaps close this as "fixed in devel, won't fix for FC5" or so? ;-) (This is filed against devel anyway...) Thanks, Moritz
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.

This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
