Table rendering error #4840

Closed tripartio closed 10 years ago

tripartio commented 10 years ago

Most of the content (text and numbers) in several tables in two PDF files do not render in Firefox's built-in pdf.js reader (Firefox version 29.0.1 on Windows 7):

These PDF files were generated by the "Save as" PDF option from Microsoft Word.

These files display correctly using Acrobat Reader and PDF X-Change Editor; thus, this seems to be a pdf.js rendering error. Could you please verify this bug and submit it for fixing?

Thanks, Chitu

I cannot reproduce any cases of missing text in the tables, using: Windows 7 (64-bit), Firefox Nightly 32 (buildID: 20140525030203) with HWA on, PDF.js 1.0.248.

@ochado-github It looks like this issue is fixed in the version of PDF.js that is included in Firefox 30.

However, there are still some minor visual glitches in the tables (faint white boxes appearing), hence I'm labelling this issue as 2-image-quality.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm just a regular user--I don't run alpha or beta versions of Firefox, so I'll wait until Firefox 30 is official before I try to verify this.

@ochado-github You can try downloading the file and opening it with the Open File button at https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html. That is the most recent development version of PDF.js. This means that you can test this without having to install anything. Could you let us know of it works with that link? If it does, then the problem (aside from the minor visual glitches) is fixed.

Thanks! I've tried it now, and confirm that it is fixed.

Concerning the faint white boxes, those seem to be fixed, too, so I'm closing this issue. Thanks a lot!
