Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Only the last page of a multiple page PostScript file is visible and the counter shows page 1 of 1 but in my case it's the 8th page. I have made another .ps file with only 2 pages and the same problem occurs.

Ubuntu 8.10

Evince Document Viewer 2.24.1

Thank's a lot for your help !!!

Any chance of you trying to open the file using the Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 LiveCD?

Hello,

Thanks for your help and interest !

I tryed to use the file with the live CD of Ubuntu 9.10 and the problem still occurs.

I attach a 4 pages .ps file where in each page is wrote "page x of 4" so you can see that only the last page is
displayed.

I can reproduce this in Lucid Lynx 10.04 alpha 2 using the attached file. Typing evince multipageessai5.ps at the command prompt produces 6 copies of the error message "warning: ignoring zlib error: incorrect data check", and only the last page (with the writing "page 4 of 4") is displayed, with the thumbnail view on the left saying page 1 of 1. According to Evince's property menu item the file was created by XSane version 0.995 (sane 1.0) - by Oliver Rauch, and uses an Arch A paper size.

However something interesting happens when I use psrip to extract the images in this file. I end up with one file named xsane.ps - If I then type evince xsane.ps at a command propmpt the same error is displayed, but only 4 times, and all 4 pages of the document are displayed! According to Evince's property menu item this file has no creator info and uses an A4 paper size.
