I have been experiencing possibly the same problem with evince and any PDF-file which has scanned pages (e.g. any scientific article from before 1995 or so, such as this one: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=1215979&blobtype=pdf )
These documents seem to open just fine at first, but then the system just locks up swapping and eventually evince is killed due to lack of resources. Zooming to 400% is not even needed. Monitoring with top shows that the evince process fills up all available memory, followed by all available swap space, until it is killed. I'm using evince on an up-to-date 8.04 Hardy Heron system with 512 Mb memory and 512 Mb swapspace. The same documents open fine with KPDF and acroread on the same system, and with evince on a Feisty system. PDF documents without scanned pages seem to open just fine in evince as well. -- Evince crashes when zooming PDF-File to 400% https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
