Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
I access my emails on the Microsoft Exchange 2010 server via IMAP on
Thunderbird 3.1.10. The pdf attachments are corrupted by Thunderbird
without any GUI-type warnings.
First I thought the PDFs were corrupted, because Evince displays them
without a (GUI-type) warning, but with the pages completely blank.
However, when I save the PDF in Thunderbird as "b.pdf" and then save the
same file via the microsoft webmail interface as a.pdf I get different
file sizes already:
$> ls -l a.pdf b.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 myname mygroup 641187 2011-06-09 16:43 a.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 myname mygroup 467767 2011-06-09 16:44 b.pdf
$>
(as a verification, I also downloaded the PDF attachment via the alpine
email client: same result as via webmail interface)
Then, I start Evince from that command line:
$> evince a.pdf
Error: Invalid Font Weight
$>
(several errors like this, but the PDF is displayed correctly.)
On the Thunderbird downloaded attachment I get:
$> evince b.pdf
Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Invalid XRef entry
Error: Kid object (page 3) is wrong type (null)
$>
...........(and many more errors: see b.log attachment)
Obviously Thunderbird does something seriously wrong with fetching the
attachment.
