          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 75232
          Assignee: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: poppler can't parse seemingly OK PDF file
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: roland at digitalvampire.org
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: poppler

I've found that the version of poppler in current Ubuntu 14.04 (I have
poppler-utils 0.24.5-2ubuntu1) has perhaps become too strict and won't parse
PDF files that work fine in other readers.  For example with the SPC-4 SCSI
spec available from http://www.t10.org/cgi-bin/ac.pl?t=f&f=spc4r36q.pdf , I
get:

$ pdfinfo spc4r36q.pdf 
Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table

However, the built-in firefox PDF renderer works with that file, as does mupdf.
 Both seem to be able to render the whole document and don't produce any
warnings etc.
