Bug Description

Download a PDF from Google Book Search (say, from http://books.google.com/books?id=jpceAAAAMAAJ ). Open it with evince. Something like the following will be output on the console:

Error (88087): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (97507): Error in JPX stream
Error (88087): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (97507): Error in JPX stream
Error (86590): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (86590): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (87420): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (87420): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (98085): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (98085): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (99312): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (106918): Error in JPX stream
Error (99312): 12697 extraneous bytes after segment
Error (106918): Error in JPX stream

The errors continually display, and embedded JPX images (such as the frontispiece of the above-linked book) do not display. The same results are evident when I use pdfimages, implying that the problem is not with evince, but with poppler.

GhostScript and Acroread both display the embedded images properly.

I am using libpoppler2 0.6.4-1~gutsy1 on Gutsy.

It works for any book which has some JPX-encoded images in it. I linked to one above, but I'll attach one to the bug report if that helps. It's the smallest affected PDF I could find.

Thanks much for this fix, which has corrected a significant problem we were having at the Internet Archive with pdfs that had been created by Google.

One followup question:

With poppler 0.10.4 built against OpenJPEG, the images render correctly, and the "Error in JPX stream" errors go away, but we do still get the "<n> extraneous bytes after segment" errors. Does anyone know what those are about? Should we be concerned about them, or can we safely ignore them?

The message means the stream seems to have some garbage at the end, it's a message to say we are ignoring them, if you see the pdf correctly it's nothing to worry about.
