[Bug 444907] Re: PDF files with wrong extension fail to load
Seems to be an intentional security feature. File extensions are restricted by the files /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince and /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444907 Title: PDF files with wrong extension fail to load To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/444907/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Updated the title as it seems that no matter what I rename the extension of a PDF file as (as long as it's not ".pdf"), Evince will refuse to load it. ** Summary changed: - Files with extension .ashx fail to load + PDF files with wrong extension fail to load -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444907 Title: PDF files with wrong extension fail to load -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This also occurs with TIFF files or presumably any other file format.
Evince seems to be processing files based on file extension rather than
magic. I was just very confused by processing files with "gm convert
+adjoin $i.pdf $i.tiff" (from within a for loop) and being unable to
open the resulting single-page tiffs.
After a few seconds I said "oh no, you've got to be kidding me - I hope it's
not doing a Windows thing" and ran:
export a=0; for i in `ls *.tiff.* | sort -n -t'.' -k 3`; do export a=$((a+1));
mv $i ${i/.tiff.*/.$a.tiff}; done
to rename the files from (ex.) foo.tiff.1 to foo.1.tiff
I'm on Natty-beta with evince-2.32.0-0ubuntu12
