Description of problem: Evince (and only evince) won't display my electric bills. BZ726991 established that the PDFs are malformed and evince is rejecting them by design. Enhancement is requested to make evince state clearly that there is something wrong with the PDF, as opposed to evince itself; and furthermore, to couch the messages in sentences complete and unambiguous enough to penetrate layers of "customer service". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64 poppler-0.18.0-2.fc16.x86_64. Steps to Reproduce: Open an electric-bill PDF with evince. Big chunks missing. Messages on standard error. See BZ726991. Actual results: Evince's messages look like this: Error (15359): Too few (2) args to 'Tm' operator Error (15359): Too few (2) args to 'Tm' operator Error (41897): Too few (2) args to 'Tm' operator Expected results: It would be nice to make these additional points explicitly, if they are true: (1) The message pertains to a problem with the PDF file. (2) The PDF file is malformed with respect to PDF specification, version xyz, stated at http://foo. (3) The problem is at or near location nnn inside the PDF file. (4) Because of the above problem, there is no way to be certain how this document was intended to look. (5) Please send the above to whoever gave you this PDF. Furthermore, if there is a brief security-related justification for rejecting malformed PDFs, it would be helpful to state it or refer to it.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. 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 prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
