[Bug Report] Unable to open a pdf file

DestroyerAce opened this issue · comments

Describe the bug
I am trying to open a PDF but its giving this error. The PDF opens fine without any issue in other apps(Zathura with mupdf, firefox, xreader, etc) and its not password protected. I don't know if I can share the PDF or not since it was shared by college.
I know that the PDF is still experimental but I think providing the errors might help.

Error: null is not an object (evaluating 'dest[0]')
@foliate:///foliate-js/pdf.js:601:50
@foliate:///foliate-js/pdf.js:597:36
@foliate:///foliate-js/progress.js:24:51

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Click on "Open..."
  2. Pick the file.
  3. Error provided above occurs

Expected behavior
PDF opens properly.

Version:

  • Foliate version: 3.1.1-1
  • OS/Distribution and version: Arch Linux
  • Desktop environment: Hyprland 0.39.1-5
  • Installation method: Arch Extra Repo

I experience a similar issue with latest head (151adbb):

Error: null is not an object (evaluating 'dest[0]')

@foliate:///reader/reader.js:392:29
init@foliate:///reader/reader.js:389:20
@foliate:///reader/reader.js:140:22

In my case it only affects some PDF files, others open without problems.
