I am using linux not OSX and as with others Gimp will not open the posted
NxNW_1959.pdf.  It does open in a linux pdf editor and apart from the creator,
nothing unusual, fonts are nothing spaecial for example.

A straight save produces a pdf which does open in Gimp. A slight difference in
file size  orig: 585,860B vs new: 558.823

Usual problem editing PDF in Gimp, it is rasterized, A better bet might be
LibreOffice which does open the original file.

Sorry, I don't remember if David Corbitt dcorbit...@comcast.net said what OS he 
was using...

I am using 64-bit Lubuntu 16.10, GIMP 2.8.18, and I confirm that GIMP does not 
like the file

https://filebin.net/vi1uxshq2x85hxwn/North_by_Northwest__1959_.pdf

I tried to open it, and it did not work, as he said.

I then removed all the underscores, thinking it might somehow have made a 
difference, but no.

The attached screenshot shows a terminal-invoked GIMP not loading the file - an 
additional
error window, and some possibly important text at the bottom...

I invoked GIMP again, with the --verbose flag, but nothing much additional that 
seems useful was generated.
I include a text file of the output.

Eh. Actually the crash is in lcms.

Yeah, the crash is in file-pdf-load, and the stack trace is from gimp.

you can start gimp like this:

  GIMP_PLUGIN_DEBUG=file-pdf-load Gimp North_by_Northwest__1959_.pdf

and then attach a gdb to the process when gimp halts the execution of
the plugin on startup.

which gives this stacktrace after the crash:

So it seems that this is a) something in libpoppler, maybe related to
getting thumbnails, and b) might be related to a unusual color space
specification in this specific PDF.

This made GIMP (2.9)'s pdf loader crash for me on Linux, but I could
open the document ith eveince, print to a PDF file, and then open the
PDF file.

The stack trace wasn't useful.

Re: [Gimp-user] Importing PDF into Gimp 2.8.18

[David Corbitt]

Sorry, I’m new with imgur after it was suggested to me. When I dragged a PDF to 
imgur, it got converted to a jpeg. I guess I’m looking a bit foolish to all the 
expert code writers here. Has no one else experienced this problem of GIMP 
2.8.18 not importing certain PDF files? There is another website (filebin.net 
<http://filebin.net/>) that allows uploading of PDFs and this particular PDF 
will not import into my GIMP 2.8.18 on iMac (late 2009 running OS 10.12). 
Perhaps now someone can take a look and tell me why GIMP is not importing this 
and many others. I hope so. Perhaps I should revert to OS 10.11 (El Capitan) 
and GIMP 2.8.10?

OK, I uploaded one of the PDF files that GIMP 2.8.18 will not import as an 
example. I hope someone can tell me why this version of GIMP will not load this.

It might be more helpful to include a link to one of the PDF files that are
causing the problem, if possible.

Here is a link to the error message I receive when I try to import certain 
PDFs. I don’t know why some work and some don’t. I never had this problem with 
GIMP 2.8.10 but 2.8.18 for some reason is fussier with PDFs. Can someone tell 
me why?

It probably won't unless someone (maybe you?) gives us specific
information about those PDF files. Like what's different about them.

Please upload to smth like imgur.com and send a link.

[Gimp-user] Importing PDF into Gimp 2.8.18

[David Corbitt]

I’m not a code expert at all but I use GIMP to modify and color correct images 
and PDF documents. The tool set is good, flexible, and very powerful. I was 
using version 2.8.10 until I recently upgraded to 2.8.18. My platform is a late 
2009 iMac running Sierra (OS 10.12). The problem I am now experiencing is I can 
no longer import certain PDFs to GIMP. It used to be really easy but now, no 
joy. I hope this will be fixed soon. I really like GIMP’s feature set and I 
hope this current problem is an easy fix. Attached is a screen shot of an error 
message when trying to open some PDFs.
