** Description changed: - The problem occurs on both Raring and Saucy if I scan a document of - several pages with simple-scan and save it as PDF file, the PDF file can - be read by all PDF readers (evince, gs, MuPDF, ...) except Adobe Reader. - This makes simple-scan unusable, as you as Ubuntu user think that you - have working PDFs (evince reads them) but the person receiving your - file, Windows user, cannot read it (with Adobe Reader). + [Impact] + PDF files generated by simple-scan are not readable from Acrobat reader due to incorrectly formatted PDF trailers. Other PDF readers ignore these errors. - simple-scan is 3.9.90-0ubuntu1, Adobe Reader are the most recent versions from the AppStores on iOS and Android (I have no Windows box). - --- - ApportVersion: 2.12.1-0ubuntu3 - Architecture: amd64 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 - DriverPackageVersions: - libsane 1.0.23-0ubuntu3 - libsane-extras N/A - hplip 3.13.8-0ubuntu1 - hpoj N/A - InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-06-05 (91 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Alpha amd64 (20130605) - MachineType: LENOVO 334729G - MarkForUpload: True - Package: simple-scan 3.9.90-0ubuntu1 - PackageArchitecture: amd64 - ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-4-generic root=UUID=80d8eb01-b0c3-47cc-8dba-1ed122b2be4f ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-4.9-generic 3.11.0-rc7 - Tags: saucy - Uname: Linux 3.11.0-4-generic x86_64 - UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) - UserGroups: adm cdrom dip libvirtd lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo - dmi.bios.date: 02/05/2013 - dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO - dmi.bios.version: GDET92WW (1.52 ) - dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available - dmi.board.name: 334729G - dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO - dmi.board.version: Win8 Pro DPK TPG - dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information - dmi.chassis.type: 10 - dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO - dmi.chassis.version: Not Available - dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrGDET92WW(1.52):bd02/05/2013:svnLENOVO:pn334729G:pvrThinkPadTwist:rvnLENOVO:rn334729G:rvrWin8ProDPKTPG:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: - dmi.product.name: 334729G - dmi.product.version: ThinkPad Twist - dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO + [Test Case] + 1.
