Hi,

there are two problems with rendering of the PDF file.

The first one are those question marks instead of letters. These are shown
because there is Unicode replacement character 0xfffd instead of normal unicode
in the PDF. This is shown as the question mark when copied. It is rendered by
poppler correctly because the PDF has embedded font which has the letter but it
doesn't index it by Unicode so it is not possible to get Unicode value of it
when copying the text.
So, this problem is caused by the PDF itself.

The second problem are those dotted circles. These are shown because poppler
evaluate distance of two consecutive letters as too high and insert space
between them. In the case of two letters which should be combined somehow it
shows the circle in the place where it misses something.
This is hard to fix because the fix (changing of constants) could worsen the
behaviour for other PDFs.

Regards

Marek

Another problem I see with the PDF is that some letters are in wrong order. For
example वि is combination of व and ि which should be ordered व ि resulting in
वि. But in the PDF they are ordered in this way ि व, resulting in िव.
This is a problem of the PDF itself.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

still exists in poppler-0.16.5-1.fc15.x86_64

Yes, problem happen where conjuncts and reordering of characters is happening.
pdf is image format, any chance of getting storage data in copy?

since even in display we see different but in get store in order we type/enter
it.

if we can get storage in copy it will surely get solve.

--- Comment #7 from Akira TAGOH  ---
Hmm, reading comment#1 and comment#2. I don't know how that pdf was generated,
if it's not something with our applications, it sounds like fixing viewer or
rendering library is wrong, because of the malformed pdf.

For instance, it may be a good idea to test on, say acroread. if it doesn't
work on even it, it may be not a bug. please try.

Update from F17 testing

If you open given URL in firefox and print it to PDF and try to copy and paste
in gedit, it fails.

If you open given URL in Chromium browser and print it to PDF and try to copy
and paste in gedit, it fails. Actually text selection also did not select all
the text.

This bug is still present. Just wondering what will be the ideal fix for it?

I am going to improve Lohit fonts glyph name, so it will be represented nicely
in PDF https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981475

moving to Fedora 19

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
