I can confirm this on current Hardy with the provided file.

Please report this bug at http://bugs.kde.org and paste the report's URL here. This issue should be fixed in KDE rather than Kubuntu.
Thank you very much.

Holy friggin' crap, it eats memory *fast*.
Anyway, still present with Okular, so I'll report this upstream in a second here.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

This PDF causes Okular and the mini Qt4 test viewer
in Poppler to freeze and consume tons of memory very quickly:

Is actually a poppler bug, as the mini Qt4 test viewer in Poppler has the problem as well.

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

Not a memory leak, just a broken PDF that specifies huge font sizes. We not discard them. Will be "fixed" on poppler 0.9.0

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Hmm, yes. That would make sense. It almost seemed like it was taking up huge amounts of RAM instantly. I guess it was. ;-)
Thanks for the fix!

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Should be fixed in Poppler 0.9.0. See the freedesktop bug report for specifics.
