Bug ID: 101460
Summary: rework the pdfimport extension and use more recent
Poppler build
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: filters and storage
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu
The pdfimport extension was implemented in the xpdf era, any chance that the
fidelity of the import filter can be improved by making more use of current
Poppler provided libraries and helpers? Seems like Poppler has moved the mark
quite a bit looking at results that Evince and Okular have with it.
At the least, our Poppler external package was last revised to 0.26.4, Aug 2014
(with commit 686ea7add8f6d56fbc741bda0107603d8cefc9b3) while the current
Poppler release is at 0.46 (Jul 2016) probably would benefit from refresh.
Of note is work in current Poppler release 0.46 to fix
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96994 -- "pdftocairo pdf/ps output
broken when glyph in non-embedded type 1 font can not be mapped" which seems
could help with our bug 101220 and similar font/glyph issues.
