[Clarification] In fact the sequence of events is a bit complex. After opening
the document nothing happens initially, then the blank pages appear for a
while, then after scrolling a couple of times through all (blank) pages, some
pages display, and then all the pages will display, finally the viewer gives up
and closes all by itself. And then I am back to the Edroid menu. So it is the
PDF viewer that crashes, not ebookdroid itself.

[Augmentation] After the PDF viewer crashes, I am back in Edroid, then If I
reopen the document, I will first see the blank pages and then the displays
starts flashing on and off at about one flash per second. Then Edroid crashes
or I need to close it from the task manager. I guess this concludes the whole
story.

From 1.4.2 to 1.5 we updated mupdf library to more recent version. Maybe it is
a bug in it. We'll try to fix it.

This document shown quite correctly on my Asus TF201/4.0.3/1.5.6-dev.
Have you installed and selected any font pack?

Thanks a lot for the info.
Initially, I didn't install any fonts since Edroid-1.4.2 worked fine without additional fonts. However,following Alexander's comment I installed the Free Gnu, free URW and the Nimbus fonts, and selected them in the setup (same setup as Alexander) but that did not help.
I will check with the latest mupdf on my PC and see if there is anything new I need to know.
I will try to reset the Eboodroid options.

Mupdf-1.1 Windows is the last stable version of Mupdf and it has no problem
displaying the above document, so if Edroid has a problem loading that same pdf
on my phone, it must be a problem with my install.
I will remove Ebookdroid from the phone and reinstall it, but I fear that just uninstalling Edroid will nor remove everything and the setups will still be there somewhere for the new install to use. Indeed I already removed 1.5 reinstalled 1.4.2 and then reinstalled 1.5 and the settings seem to keep any preferences I have setup before. Is there any suggestion on how to reset all Ebookdroid parameters?

I also installed 'mupdf-1.1-android.apk' and it displays the above document
without any problem.

[SOLVED] The culprit is 'Performance settings/Number of decoding threads'. I
had set the number of decoding threads to 2 (this worked fine in 1.4.2) since
my phone has a dual core processor. After I set the number of threads to 1,
Ebookdroid-1.5.5 now displays the document all right.
As a side note, I add that there are pdf's Ebookdroid-1.5/5 could read with 2 threads but those small pdf's (journal papers mostly) do seem to break something with multi-thread!

[Additional information] Although I can now read all PDF's, I find that 1.5.5
is unstable while 1.4.2 was perfectly stable; Ebookdroid-1.5.5 crashes
regularly on my phone while just browsing the titles (not even reading). Maybe
there is another parameter setting causing this problem.
Those small issues put aside I find Ebookdroid combined with the Note to be the most fantastic book reader there is to read all sizes of technical documents. Really great!

If EBD crashes with Force close please look at /sdcard/.org.ebookdrod/logs and
attach any stacktraces found there - it will help to solve issue.

About crashes - they have been fixed. Try 1.5.6-dev:
http://code.google.com/p/ebookdroid/downloads/detail?name=ebookdroid-1.5.6-dev-r
1788.apk

I installed the latest 1.5.6-dev apk and I did not experience any crash yet.
However there are still two other problems I didn't mention yet and that I still meet in 1.5.6-dev. I got a flashing screen, and also some documents are very long to load (one is still loading after a couple of minutes while I a writing this). I will give a more detailed report when I can make sense of all that.

OK. Please open another issue for other problems. One issue - one problem. I
think this one can be closed because you confirmed that there are no more
crashes.
