Image doesn't appear

Post by Wops »

Hello!

I have a PDF file where not all pictures get displayed.
I attached a sample page so you can check it out.

Some PDF Viewer can show the image though, eg. SumatraPDF.

You PDF file is corrupted. Viewer informs this by yellow exclamation mark in document's toolbar.
Adobe Acrobat also show message and shows nothing on the page.

Yeah, but why can other readers show this picture?

Ask Foxit to fix their PDF editor — Foxit can obvious read its own files even if they don't follow the PDF specification.

Foxit can't read this file either.
I just used it to extract the specific page.

Sorry - but I think the answer then is self evidient ...
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

Sorry, we have tried with four other viewers (Foxit, Nuance, Nitro, Adobe) and all of them shows just an empty page, so its difficult to see how you can view this file - there is definitely a problem with the file and if you are fortunate enough to be able to open with any other viewer - I strongly recommend you 're-print' the file to a new PDF file using a reliable creation tool - to ensure that it is generally available for viewing using any tool rather than trust to luck that something will open - it is not a correctly formatted file - for sure !

Sumatra PDF, muPDF and Infix Pro can correctly display the graphic.
I don't need it but I read in another forum that a user had a problem with a specific PDF displaying pictures only in a few pdf viewers. So I wanted to to try if PDFXV can show them.

I think it would be also a good advertizing for PDFXV if it could handle badly corrupt files.

Problem is not with an image in this PDF, but because one object contains wrong property (/BBox in Form should be array with 4 numbers, not 3).
I have added a workaround, and the image will be shown in next build, but I'm still not sure it was a good idea.

Thanks! But it was just a suggestion.
If it may interfere with with other features or even could cause security risks it's definitely better not to implement that workaround.
