#250 Scrambled outline in djview after conversion of pdf-file

[Havlicek stole the ball]

Hi!

I'm using pdf2djvu to convert pdf's to djvu-files. Every once in a while, I get pdf's where the outline looks scrambled (see attached screenshots). This appears only when I use djview as a viewer. I've not yet found a connection between the affected files.
The author of pdf2djvu suggested that it is djview that has difficulties to display cr characters (discussion here: https://code.google.com/p/pdf2djvu/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Summary&groupby=&sort=&id=102).

I've also attached the output of djvused -e print-outline example.djvu

Can you share the djvu file?

Is it important to display embedded newlines in outline text? I've tried and
it looks ugly. I've pushed a fix that converts all these characters to spaces.

Fixed (by collapsing all sequence of space characters (" \n\r\t\v\f")
into a single spaces.)

What version includes the fix?

/edit:

Do you want the original pdf-file (for verfication)?

I got the file. Everything works fine with the new git version. :-).

The only real question was to decide whether I want to deal with newlines in
the outline entries. I decide that I did not want to because
a) the resulting layout was too confusing,
b) is there a difference between cr or lf or crlf?
For instance under linux/qt-4.8 the cr was displayed as a small arrow.
But your screenshot shows the cr interpreted as a newline (was this a PC?)
Anyway, this seems way too finicky.

Therefore I compress all spaces and everything works fine.
