Summary: PDFs created by Wikipedia are viewable but will not
print
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Szilard
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: Page rendering
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
PDFs created by Wikipedia can be viewed using Acrobat - but attempting to
'Print" creates an error which prevents printing. The message from Acrobat does
not provide diagnostic information, so I tried using the "pdf2ps" utility
program. It does produce a readable and printable PS file - but in the process
produces the following error messages:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The URL shown above is a representative example used for illustrating this bug
(and the above error messages). However I have found the same errors are being
generated by virtually every PDF I've created on Wikipedia.
BTW: I didn't put a "Version" above because I wasn't able to figure out how to
discover it ;-)
