The reason for the mentioned error is a limitation of the DVI format.
The field in the postamble holding the total number of pages is a 16-bit
value, i.e. if the document consists of more than 65535 pages, there's a
number overflow resulting in a mismatch between this value and the
actual number of pages.
Fortunately, the value in the postamble has no impact on other data in
the DVI file so that I can replace the plausibility check by just
comparing the lower 16 bits of the page count. I tried that with your
IDV file and it worked properly.
Thanks Martin. So basically you are saying one can ignore this error.
This is good.
Hello Nasser,
no, ignoring the error doesn't work here, unfortunately, because it
terminates dvisvgm so that no SVG output is created. The current version
of dvisvgm doesn't support DVI files containing more than 65535 pages.
I've modified the code already which will remove this restriction as of
the next release.
Martin
