Paginated PDF import contains only empty pages

[apahne]

Version: Mac OS X standalone 2.5.0 (33)

Reproduce the issue:

1. Create New Document
2. Paste example Markdown from https://mdp.tylingsoft.com/
3. Create paginated PDF

Result: PDF document (attached) with 13 pages. The pages however are blank using the Mac OS X default PDF viewer. Here the exported PDF: test2.pdf

Here a screenshot how it looks like in the Mac OS X default PDF viewer:

Open it with a different PDF viewer and you will see it's not empty.

For example, you can view it in Chrome.

I think it might be a bug of the default Mac PDF viewer but I am not sure.

Correct, the document renders OK in Chrome.

I validated it using https://www.pdf-online.com/osa/validate.aspx

The report says that "The document does not conform to the requested standard. The file format (header, trailer, objects, xref, streams) is corrupted."

I will investigate.

For now please use this workaround: http://www.guidingtech.com/7566/chrome-print-to-pdf-convert-webpage-to-pdf/

Copy your markdown to https://mdp.tylingsoft.com/ and let Chrome print it to PDF.
