I was using Think Python as a test pdf before I started to test my application on pdfs that we would actually use at my company and my application crashes as soon as it is loaded. I also tried to load it in the demo application that comes with the pypoppler sources and that crashed too. I opened the pdf in evince and okular on windows xp and those worked fine. So I am not sure if it is a bug in my pypoppler version or if there is something i need to do to support the comments and javascript that is embedded in this pdf. Any help would be appreciated.  I will see if i can post the pdf for others to test if they would like. here are the errors I get when debugging. (visual Studio 2010 debugger) Unhandled exception at 0x7c9501cc in python.exe: 0xC0000029: An invalid unwind target was encountered during an unwind operation. press continue Unhandled exception at 0x7c9501cc in python.exe: 0xC0000029: An invalid unwind target was encountered during an unwind operation. press continue Unhandled exception at 0x77c35464 in python.exe: 0xC0000027: Unwind exception code. press continue Unhandled exception at 0x77c354c9 in python.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0003000a. and then it stops there. The pypoppler version I downloaded was from Sandro Mani from here <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://n.ethz.ch/%7Esmani/download/poppler/">http://n.ethz.ch/~smani/download/poppler/</a> after he offered to provide windows binaries on here. <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler-python/+bug/499592">https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler-python/+bug/499592</a> I am using the all-in-one installer of pygtk and the poppler library from Sandro not his gtk tree that he had. so that might be the issue. I am currently going to try and rebuild the pypoppler lib to my gtk and pygtk libs to see if that fixes it. sorry for the long post I just wanted to try and put as much info into it so that if anyone wanted to help or had an idea of what is wrong they had as complete a picture as i could give.
