Comment 4 for bug 1768840

According to the people from Abbyy Fine Reader the error is caused by a "linearisation problem" in AFR14 and it will be fixed there.

However for files which show the syndrome I found out that they comply to the norm according to VeraPdf.

According to the people of Abbyy Fine Reader, the error does no longer show up for Poppler Version > 0.50. However I was unable to check this with Evince since I have no version of Evince at hand which incorporates a version of Poppler>0.50. I only found that pdftotext version 0.66.0 did not use excessive memory nor excessive usage of CPU.

Unfortunately I can not switch back to Poppler version 0.41.0 which belongs to Xubuntu 16.04.4.

It would be helpful if one could lift all Poppler-dependant programs to a version > 0.50 without changing the version of the operating system.
