Trying different free software PDF readers, at least some of which use
the same PDF library as evince, does not produce any crashes, but error
(or warning) messages for some:
- xpdf works without messages.
- okular works without messages (and can extract the embedded XML).
- Firefox works without messages (and can extract the embedded XML).
- Chrome works without messages.
- pdfdetach (from poppler-utils) can extract the embedded XML file.
- pdftk can extract the XML.
- mupdf works with error and warning messages:
error: Unable to read ICC workflow
warning: Attempt to read Output Intent failed
- gv works with error messages:
**** Error: ignoring annotation with scale factor of 0
Output may be incorrect.
Error: Ignoring invalid annotation, output may be incorrect.
**** Error: ignoring annotation with scale factor of 0
Output may be incorrect.
Error: Ignoring invalid annotation, output may be incorrect.
The PDF document can be transformed to be acceptable to evince: recreating the
PDF with pdftk results in a file that works without errors, even in evince.
But 'mutool clean' does not change anything.
This issue seems to be specific to evince, and affect many versions,
including recent ones.
