#3 Reproduceable BePDF crash saving second round with annotations

[Kevin Field]

The following crashes BePDF in Haiku during saving:

1. open a PDF file (e.g. simple.pdf)
2. add a comment text annotation
3. right-click, choose Properties, type "comment #1"
4. save as simple2.pdf and close BePDF
5. open simple2.pdf
6. add a comment text annotation
7. right-click, choose Properties, type "comment #2"
8. save as simple3.pdf

Following these steps exactly, simple3.pdf is actually saved with both comments, but it still crashes (case 1).

I had originally been marking up a PDF sent to me generated using Mac OS X 10.5.7 Quartz PDFContext when I first encountered this, but since then I have reproduced this using simple.pdf, which I generated using StyledEdit and the PDF Writer driver.

Trying with the PDF sent to me but following similar steps, I've had (also reproduceable) the unfortunate result that it produces a PDF but without my latest annotations (this is both if I immediately choose to save a debug report, or try to debug, save the debug report, and then tell the debugger to continue)--in fact, the file size is identical to the version just opened containing the first round of annotations. So I'm attaching that PDF too.

made from simple.pdf with a BePDF annotation

made from simple2.pdf with another BePDF annotation, just before crashing

PDF causing similar crash on second save but without saving annotations

[Kevin Field]

from the crash that does not save new annotations

Housing Search....pdf after first annotation (binary identical to file output during crash after second annotation)

[Kevin Field]

I won't bother posting HS3.pdf since it's binary identical to HS2.pdf. You can annotate from the original following the steps, but there's my in-between file in case it doesn't match yours or whatever.

Thanks for reporting the problems. However BePDF is no longer in active development. Do not expect any bug fixes soon.

[Kevin Field]

Thanks for the notice Michael...can I ask why (if it's a policy thing
rather than just devs becoming unavailable for it) though? PDF
viewing seems like a pretty essential feature for an OS. Either way
thanks for all your work on it, it's nice to have something 99%
working anyway =) -K

I have just lost interest programming in my spare time, after my day job, where I do the same.

[Kevin Field]

Ah, I definitely hear you. Well, thank you again for all your
contributions to date. Hopefully someone else can pick up where you
left off. Maybe if my own life calms down enough some day I could try
to take a look, but I really have no idea what I'm doing, so that puts
it in the same boat for me as for you (in the sense of not being
interested in getting into it at the end of the day.) :-) Peace, -K
