Multipage PDF unreadable
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 5:14 pm
Hello everyone,
I've run into a curious problem today: When creating a multipage PDF from specific PNG files with XnView MP the resulting PDF would only contain blank pages. I've tried multiple readers, namely Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, Chrome, Edge, Gimp, as well as XnView MP itself. None were able to display it correctly, with Adobe Acrobat returning the error message "Dict-object expected". However, when I tried the same process with XnView Classic it worked fine and the resulting PDF displayed properly.
Since I'm no expert I'm left wondering if I'm simply doing something wrong or if this is a problem with XnView MP. I've uploaded three example PNGs, as well as a corrupt PDF created with MP and a working PDF created with Classic here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rghxyrnqbdmt ... mbk4a?dl=0
I'm using XnView MP 0.96.1 and XnView Classic 2.49.2, GhostScript Version 9.52 is also installed. This is all on Windows 10, havenāt tried any other operating systems yet.
Hopefully one of you has some idea as to what is going on.
