What to do with error messages? #94

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I often get error-messages that sometimes trigger the program to abort such as 
segmentation faults but I'm not sue what to make out of them as it isn't clear 
for me wether the problem lies in a faulty pdf-file or in pdf2djvu itself? Is 
this something that I can report here (read: an error caused by pdf2djvu)?

Segmentation fault should never happen, no matter how broken the PDF file is.
If it happens, it's either a bug in pdf2djvu itself or one of the libraries it 
uses. (More likely the latter, but one may never know.)

Please feel free to report such bugs in the issue tracker.

The files that I convert are all (copyrighted) eBooks that I can't share here 
unless you don't mind to bend a law or two. Without the file, I can only report 
that it happened.

Attaching non-free copyrighted material here would be indeed a bad idea.
Please send the troublesome file(s) in private mail to me instead.

You've got a mail soon. 

I often get many other error messages ("bogus memory allocation", "Invalid font 
weight" and sometimes "PDF-Fehler: Illegal value in function C0 array"). I'Ve 
never bothered about them as the conversion was successful. Do they affect the 
outcome of the conversion?

I use LinuxMint 13 (Maya) which itself is based on Ubuntu 12.04 (Lucid) The 
Architecture is a x86_64 (dual-core). My kernel is "3.2.0-23-generic"I use 
pdf2djvu (0.7.11-1build1) and libpoppler19 (0.18.4-1ubuntu3.1).
When converting something, I solely use the default options.

I've tried it with the files that I send you once again - same result. I'll 
give it another try later under WinXp.

Oh, now I get what's going on.
You are running into a bug that was fixed in pdf2djvu 0.7.14:

  * Ignore links with no action. (Previously such links would cause segfault).

Regarding the warnings: no idea, sorry.
