In my continuing saga of attempting to fill in tax forms in evince...
The PDF causing trouble now is this one:
http://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/07_forms/07_540.pdf
It loads in evince just fine. When going to print it out, I run into
trouble. Printing to PostScript results in something that gives the
Ghostscript interpreter errors. Printing to PDF and then attempting to
load the PDF printout back into evince yields this:
evince: CairoOutputDev.cc:1155: void
CairoOutputDev::drawImageMaskPrescaled(GfxState*, Object*, Stream*, int,
int, GBool, GBool): Assertion `0 && "over run\n"' failed.
The printed PDF has
Creator: cairo 1.4.14 (http://cairographics.org)
Investigating in a bit more detail, it turns out that the generated PDF
includes a Type 3 font, one of whose characters includes a 0x0 bitmap.
This is what leads to the assertion above. I can send a copy of the
(probably invalid) generated PDF if anyone is interested.
I haven't figured out what causes an invalid PDF to be generated when
printing, and building against a newer version of cairo seems to fix the
problem. So, this looks like it could be a cairo bug (now fixed), and
not anything in poppler. Still, the attached patch might be useful--if
poppler encounters a bitmap with invalid dimensions, cause it to bail
out early instead of trying to display it.
With a new version of cairo and this patch, I'm now getting "cairo
context error: invalid matrix (not invertible)" errors and a
partially-rendered page instead of a crash on the bad PDF. Not
completely sure what parts are due to the cairo update and what to this
patch, but the patch at least shouldn't hurt...

If a bitmap's dimensions are invalid, do not try to display it.
