Package: poppler-utils
Version: 0.26.5-2
Severity: serious
On Debian 8, the following PDF makes pdftoppm to hang:
http://ssii.ucm.es/wifi/eduroam/GN2-07-327v2-DS5_1_1-_eduroam_Service_Definition.pdf
I do this:
pdftoppm -r 300 the-above-document.pdf foo
and the files foo-01.ppm to foo-07.ppm are generated, but then "top"
shows the pdftoppm command consuming 100% CPU and it remains that way
forever.
Maybe this is due to some library which is not working properly and
not pdftoppm itself, but I have not identified it. Please reassign as
appropriate.
Note: evince suffers from the same problem. I'll report that separately.
Thanks.

Tried pdftoppm with a ridiculous low resolution and this time it finished,
but page 8 took more than 2 minutes to render.
So this is likely not a bug in pdftoppm or evince after all.
Thanks.
