PDF file or Viewer broken?

[huusa]

I have this file which is supposed to be a plot of the sine function. PDF XChange Viewer build 199.0 does not render the plot but just a blank page. Adobe Reader is able to show the plot but Sumatra not. I would like to know wheter the file is broken or is the problem in the Viewer.

The file is not broken, it loads OK in Foxit Reader, and in PagePlus X6, from which the attached PDF was produced. This file does display OK in PDF-XChange Viewer.

PDF-XChange Viewer seems to have lost the plot (sorry, couldn't resist)

Hello huusa,

There is something fishy around this file for sure - as the plot loads in the thumbnails preview - and also the shell extension is able to generate a preview in Windows Explorer - but the file is not rendered in the main Viewer window.

We will take a closer look now and post any findings we have here in this topic.

Best,
Stefan

The File structure isn't corrupted for sure, but the page's content contains some wrong items, like clip path:

anyway, I have added a workaround for such cases within the viewer, and the next build will render this file ok (build 200 released in the next 10 days or so)

Thanks. This will help the vendor to fix their PDF export and me to work around the bug.

And the workaround Ivan has implemented should be available in build 200 later this week!
