Evince crashes on every pdf file

I tried to open all kinds of pdf's, but all of them crashes Evince.
Evince was working in the previous version, but now it's not.
I tried to recompile afterwards Evince with>
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var --disable-static \
--with-print=gtk --enable-nautilus \
--enable-debug --enable-impress \
--enable-pdf --enable-tiff \
--enable-djvu --enable-dvi \
--enable-t1lib --enable-pixbuf \
--enable-comics --enable-impress \
--disable-scrollkeeper --without-libgnome || return 1
Where I added>
--enable-debug --enable-impress, I though that --enable-debug will print debug messages, but instead I get nothing special, just a hash code .
gnu_d ~/Desktop  $  evince OOFontTest.pdf
527d163f-3c42-42a4-3dbb59a3-059c4d18 is dumped
I managed to make a workaround,
evince -w file.pdf
and it's working, but I can't use it in Firefox.
I get this output from the preview version>
gnu_d ~/Desktop  $  evince -w OOFontTest.pdf
** (evince:32516): WARNING **: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
This is not a good replacement, please help me fixing it, or tell me how to make the debug messages running, to debug the src code.

I did some research, and I found that these're permissions error.
I opened the same file with sudo>
gnu_d ~/Desktop  $  sudo evince  OOFontTest.pdf
I see no output, everything works.

  • How do I get Firefox from "saving" to Downloads EVERY PDF file I open ??

    Greetings,
    New to Firefox. Running Mac Leopard and needed Firefox because a business website running a business replay podcast did not recognize Safari.
    So far so good. I actually prefer Firefox to Safari now.
    One little thing. Every time I browse the web and open a PDF file it "automatically" sends it to my download file and I therefore have the file "saved" . WELL, I don't necessarily want to save to my download file every PDF file that I open. I just want to open a PDF file, do a quick read and move on to more browsing. How do I stop Firefox from saving to my downloads every PDF file that I open? Is there some kind of setting I can adjust?
    Thanks.

    You da man...I've never done an "Ad-On". I downloaded the recommended "Ad-On" as you suggested. The program fixed my issue...NOW, I can simply open a PDF file without it automatically going to my downloads.
    THANKS
    If you ever need to download a list of things, firefox can select a vertical column using the Cmd key, unlike Safari.
    I have DownLoadThemAll installed and I can select a vertical group of files, right-click them and using DLTA, I can DL them to any location. With Safari, I would have to do this one-at-a-time.
    Just another reason I like FF for many purposes.

  • Why does Firefox download EVERYTHING, even stuff I don't ask it to download, like EVERY pdf file I land on???

    The so-called download helper is downloading every pdf file I happen to land on. I don't want to download everything on every web page I visit! I tried to find how to make it manual, but can't find it in options or anywhere.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I don't know, a while ago, a few days ago, a week ago

  • Every pdf file in my laptop has been converted into an unreadable Word file. Help!

    Every pdf file in my laptop has been converted into an unreadable Word file.
    This happened while I was trying to convert a large pdf file to Word using Adobe export pdf, which I purchased recently. When I try to export a large pdf file, I get a message "An error occurred while trying to access the service."
    The inability to convert a file from pdf to Word is an annoyance after I spent $19.95 for export pdf. But the making of all my pdf files unreadable is a disaster.

    I suspect that isn't connected. Start Adobe Reader, use File > Open for these PDFs. Do they open?  (I suspect it's just double clicking that does it, which isn't the only way or best way to open files).

  • New Acrobat Pro installed and EVERY PDF file crashes after about 10 seconds. Any Solutions?

    I just purchased and installed Acrobat Pro v. 10.1.2 and it seemed to install fine ,but now EVERY ODF crashes after about 10 seconds. Also, I get the Windows "please wait while Windows Configures Acrobat" message every time I launch Acrobat. Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?

    Good day,
    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble.
    Could you try the following:
    Launch Acrobat, but do not open a PDF file.
    Choose Edit > Preferences.  Click on 'Internet' on the left-hand side. 
    Uncheck 'Display PDF in Browser'
    Relaunch Acrobat - do you still get the 'Please wait while Windows configures Acrobat' message?
    If that message has stopped coming up, please try opening a PDF file.  Does Acrobat still crash?
    Do you have any other versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed on this computer?
    What version of Windows do you have installed?  What version of Internet Explorer is installed?
    Kind regards,

  • Safari crashes when opening PDF file- why?

    Every time I click on a link which does not open an HTML file but instead tries to open a PDF file within the Safari browswer window, the spinner spins for a very long time and eventually Safari crashes.
    I can download pdf files but sometimes the website doesn't tell you what the button is going to do.
    Safari version 1.3 (v312)
    No use running anything beyond Panther on this G3 due to memory & speed issues.

    Unlike Safari RSS, Safari 1.3 does not have native PDF support. It looks like there might be a plugin issue at work here, perhaps a faulty adobe installation or plugin incompatibility. Make sure your plugins, e.g. Schubert-It PDF Browser and Adobe Reader, are up to date and if they are, you might want to consider reinstalling them.
    Alternatively, and I don't know if this applies to Panther or not, ensure that 'PDF Image' is unchecked in QT's MINE settings. (System Preferences > QuickTime > Advanced > MIME Settings... > under 'Images - Still image files')

  • Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (admplugin.apl) crash when opening PDF files

    Hi,
    I did spend some time today trying to get Adobe Reader 8.1.2 to run on a Citrix Access Essential 2.0 server.
    Setup
    Server OS:
    Windows Server 2003 SP2 - fully patched.
    Other software:
    Office 2003 Standard, Danish, SP3
    Symantec Antivirus 10.1
    Adobe Reader 8.1.2, Danish
    The installation is clean (1 week old).
    Problem description:
    When opening PDF files, Adobe Reader crashes before showing any content from the PDF file. The module crashing is admplugin.apl.
    Work-arounds tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (DK).
    Disabling Antivirus (service stopped)
    Replacing admplugin.apl with admplugin.apl from Adobe Reader 8.0
    Uninstalling DK version and installing US version.
    Adding user to local Administrators to exclude any permission related problems.
    Deleting Adobe folders from users profile Application Data\Adobe\... and Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\...
    Turn DEP off
    Solution:
    Finally I gave up and installed 7.0.9 (Danish). It works as expected.
    It seems that the problem is known and a few user has reported this. One Adobe KB article mentions the problem, and the solution is to disable some 3. party diagnostic/support tools provided by DSL providers. This is definitively not the issue in this installation.
    Anybody from Adobe having any input to this problem?
    Best regards from Denmark!

    Hi,
    I am having a similar issue with Ver 8.1.2 running over cirtix with a similar setup to Jans-Peter.
    The difference is that Reader opens fine but when you try to edit preferences it crashes.
    This only happens on an citrix session. If I run reader on the server directly it works OK.
    However after reading above I can replicate the problem on the server by moving or deleting the ADMPlugin.apl file.
    Any further ideas at all?

  • Firefox Crashes when opening PDF file with Acrobat 9.4 installed.

    Everytime I attempt to open a PDF file, Firefox will crash. I have Adobe Reader 9.4 installled. This has been happening since 7/9/2010

    Fix the [http://browser.iyogi.com/firefox/firefox-not-opening-pdf.html '''PDF not opening in Mozilla Firefox'''] issue by reinstalling Adobe Reader. You need to uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it to get the issue fixed. It is important to uninstall all versions of Adobe Reader that you may have in your system. Also, take care of installing the latest Adobe Reader for the browser.

  • TS1702 iBook crashes opening a PDF file on my iPod touch.

    Any solution to the constant cashing if iBooks when trying to open a PDF file.
    I just want to save the file to my iPod and I don't care which app I should use.
    Trying iBooks and Adobe Reader. AR opens but how to save?
    Thanks.

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Delete iBooks and reinstall
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • %PDF - is this ALWAYS at the begining of every pdf file?

    We are adding the ability to work with pdf files to our application.  And we need to identify which type of file we have.  Can I be sure that all pdf files start with the same characters? "%PDF"  And the PDF is always capitalized.
    I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but am hoping someone can confirm.
    Thanks.

    Not necessarily.  While the PDF Reference/ISO 32000-1 does state that the %PDF occur at byte zero of the file, there are many PDFs out there (that Adobe's products will open just fine) where there is some amount of "stuff" that occurs before the %PDF.
    So it's up to you whether you wish to support those documents or not.  But they are VERY MUCH a minority.

    Where did the PDF file come from? Did it originate in AI? AI is not a general-purpose PDF editor so unless the file originated in AI, it's a cr@pshoot.

  • Safari 2.01 crashes when downloading PDF files

    Since I updated to Safari 2.01 I have been unable to download Acrobat PDF files from any site. When I click on the download, Safari just quits and I'm left with a message telling me that it has unexpectedly quit.
    Before I updated Safari it worked fine. I've also tried re-installing Safari 2.01 and resetting it.
    Can anyone shed any light on this issue please?

    Two of us are also suffering with this (please see other thread).
    Hopefully someone from Apple will read this and help us.

  • Preview Crash on Large .pdf Files

    I am trying to view a 500k pdf in Preview. Every time I try, Preview crashes. It does the same thing whether I try to download and read it in Safari or Firefox from the original website or try to open the downloaded file and read it from the desktop.
    Is there a file size limitation in Preview?
    Are there other programs that might work instead of Acrobat Reader? I am trying not to (re)install Reader because of possible conflict with another program I use (RapidWeaver).
    The file opens fine on my G5 with Reader, but will not open on either of my Intel Macs in Preview.

    Carolyn:
    Thanks, but that doesn't seem to help. I did both, but the problem recurrs.
    I'm back to thinking it's file size, or just this file. I just created a one-page security password protected document in Acrobat (one that may be read and printed but not copied). It opened fine in Preview. When I tried to copy some of the content, I got a Preview dialog that prompted me for the password. Once entered, content extraction also went fine.
    The large document in question also opens fine in
    --Acrobat on my G5 running 10.4
    --Acrobat on a Dell running XP Home
    --Acrobat in XP Home running on my iMac through Fusion.
    This file just doesn't like Preview, either on my two Intel Macs running 10.5 or my G5 running 10.4

  • Why does plugin-container.exe so often crash when closing PDF files?

    When I load multiple PDFs in Firefox to check their content for errors one by one, closing one PDF tab to reveal another PDF tab very often causes plugin-container.exe to crash, which means I have to reload each remaining PDF tab to view the remaining files. This of course defeats the purpose of opening more than one at a time, and actually adds about 5 times as many clicks to the whole process because I have to clear the error and reload each page, then it might happen again or might not. It doesn't happen every time I close a PDF, but about 1 in 4 times.
    I realize I have two versions of Acrobat installed (Acrobat 9.5.5 and Reader 11.0.10), and thus two Firefox plugins, but for the record this same thing happens on other computers that just have Reader or just have Acrobat, so it's not an issue of conflicting plugins. Though I did notice you aren't allowed to disable just one or the other -- deactivating one deactivates both. At first it seems not to, but if you reload the plugins page, you'll see both are actually off.
    Windows coughs up the following error report when plugin-container.exe crashes, but Firefox says nothing, I guess because the plugin-container is a standalone app:

    Appreciate any help available in resolving this crash.

    Somehow this bug came up on my radar yesterday later in the day: the first two comments indicate different plugins, and the third refers to the Acrobat plugin:
    <blockquote>This seems to happen if Adobe Reader is used for displaying PDF documents (pdfjs.disabled set to true and Preferences > Applications > PDF to "Adobe Reader (in Firefox)").<br><br>Opening two tabs displaying PDFs and closing one crashes the other one.<br><br>Was able to reproduce with Firefox 36.0.1 and Adobe Reader plugin "Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10.32". When I tried to reproduce it later again in the same profile (or on Nightly and Beta), the tab didn't crash.</blockquote>

    Sounds like your issue, but it's puzzling that they got a tab to crash and in your case only plugin-container.exe crashed.
