mstefanko hey guys, seems like mudraw/mutool eats dashed arrows / dashed lines10:13.13 
  any idea what it could be?10:13.16 
pedro_mac hi mstefanko - the guys are in a staff meeting in the US most of this week so you may need to wait a bit for an answer10:23.12 
  hi kens - good flight?10:52.51 
kens Hi pedro_mac yes it was quiet, so I had a row to myself ;-)10:56.44 
  mstefanko : almost certainly we'd need to see the PDF file to have any opinion. Best to put it somewhere public and post a URL (or open a bug report)10:57.27 
  pedro_mac : sadly, jet lag wins and I'm awake at 6 am :-(10:57.54 
pedro_mac :(10:58.10 
  you need to do the ‘stay awake for 36 hours’ thing - usually works for me :)10:58.29 
kens It works on the way home, I stayed up till 10 pm local time, but still woke up early10:59.00 
pedro_mac nods - what time do you start today?10:59.29 
kens We'll have breakfast at 8:30, start meeting around 9:3011:00.05 
  Same tomorrow (if Joseph reads the logs)11:00.16 
pedro_mac cool - he’s just boarding in shipol just now11:02.22 
  would be good if I could spell schiphol of course11:03.18 
kens We'll catch up with him this evening, I think the plan is to find a steak place tonight11:03.21 
  And another insomniac....11:04.16 
  Hmm, no MuPDF on this laptop.....11:05.46 
mstefanko hey kens this one for example https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8y3k34b0l6amkh/Presentation1.pdf?dl=011:41.56 
  with mudraw -b 8 -r 144 -w 1280px losing the dashed lines :(11:42.58 
kens i having trouble getting teh file....11:43.45 
mstefanko top right corner download?11:43.59 
  or this : https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8y3k34b0l6amkh/Presentation1.pdf?dl=111:44.07 
kens Its javascript. I have it now11:44.43 
  The file is rather complex, involves transparency, that could be the problem11:46.25 
  Decompressed the file is 8Mb11:46.45 
mstefanko i sent you another one in PM11:46.51 
kens I pect a nonsensical SMask11:46.54 
mstefanko well basically it's always just the dashed lines11:46.56 
kens It seems like Quartz has pule thing in a SMask group, which makes it well nigh impossible to edit.t the wh11:48.24 
mstefanko not sure if this is related http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=69199911:48.35 
kens Grr stupid trackppad, I wish I could turn it off....11:48.40 
mstefanko hehe11:48.46 
kens Doesn't look related11:48.58 
  As the lines are not thin11:49.11 
mstefanko that one is from a completely different presentation 11:50.08 
  https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4ui3ided64amrb/Presentation2.pdf?dl=111:50.10 
  same issue there11:50.14 
  no issues with e.g. straight line arrows11:51.02 
  just the dotted/dashed arrows11:51.06 
kens If you make the files the same way, that's no great surprise. Must be a bigger file, still not downloaded yet11:51.09 
mstefanko it's from 2 different ppl, not sure how they make them11:51.24 
  maybe keynote or pptx to pdf conversion11:51.35 
kens Well there's what appears to be a massive image with a soft mask in there. Possibly it contains the lines11:52.34 
  No, that seems to be teh background (dumb way to draw it)11:54.19 
mstefanko ah yeah11:54.28 
kens Not going to try the 15Mb one, no doubt that's immense when decompressed11:55.44 
mstefanko i will try and get a smaller version11:55.57 
  can't believe one slide can take that much11:56.03 
kens Well, if you draw a constant background by covering the entire page with an image, then mask out just the bits you want....11:56.56 
  I'd say its a dumb PowerPoint background fill11:57.17 
mstefanko i guess11:57.28 
  i'm trying to get a version without it11:57.36 
kens I can probably identify the problem (but not fix it) in the smaller file, given some time11:57.46 
mstefanko man i really would love a saas service that just converts pdf files through an api..11:57.59 
  kens let me see if i can get a smaller version within the next few minutes11:58.33 
kens I've got a little time before breakfast11:58.51 
  There are 2 ICC profiles in there, it 'might' be some kind of colour management thing. BTW the lines aren't dashed as far as I can see, each dash is a separate line11:59.50 
  OK down to just the three thick lines now12:13.02 
  It does seem to be a dashing problem, prob-ably caused by the insane CTM. The dash array is [142879.8 190504.8] and then teh CTM is concatenated with 0.00007874015 0 0 -0.00007874015 185.1508 254.3865.12:16.53 
  'd suspect some kind of math problem there12:17.03 
  I'll have to let tor look at this I think12:17.39 
mstefanko oki kens 12:48.05 
  everything is slow today :D still haven't gotten the smaller one12:48.15 
kens I have a massively reduced file, juscut down to the two dashed lines with the ridicuous CTM12:50.04 
  I'd suggest you open a bug report and I'll attach the file12:50.26 
mstefanko oh oki12:50.41 
  alright12:50.43 
  oki kens i posted it here http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=69555612:54.49 
kens OKI'll go attach the file12:55.16 
mstefanko cool!12:55.22 
  great, he just sent me the smaller file version at 66k.. https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8y3k34b0l6amkh/Presentation1.pdf?dl=112:56.24 
  :D12:56.24 
kens Well my reduced file is 28k :-)12:57.06 
  actually 23k12:57.12 
mstefanko haha ok12:57.18 
kens I expect it'll be easy enough for tor to fix when he sees it, I'm guessing some kind of overflow problem or somethin12:57.47 
mstefanko fingers crossed :D13:03.50 
kens heads for breakfast13:15.27 
juschz Hi. it is possible with MuPDF, to display remote pdf file ? or do I have to resolve download of the file myself ?14:16.45 
robin_watts_mac juschz: There is a mupdf + curl build that will download and display.14:20.10 
  On windows, it's part of the standard solution.14:24.03 
  Let me check linux14:24.10 
  make HAVE_CURL=yes14:28.20 
juschz ok thanks, let me try it14:30.04 
  I’m building it for Android ndk. Do I have also to modify ThirdParty.mk file ?15:00.10 
robin_watts_mac juschz: Yes.15:06.42 
  You're building an android app using MuPDF?15:06.57 
  What license are you planning to release your app under?15:07.24 
juschz yes15:11.56 
  GPL15:11.58 
robin_watts_mac Would need to be AGPL.15:13.16 
juschz yes AGPL sorry15:13.44 
  the same as muPdf15:13.49 
robin_watts_mac cool.15:13.56 
  You'll need to set flags etc, yes.15:15.06 
  See the top level Makefiles/Makerules/Makethird for hints.15:15.29 
juschz Ok, i will look at this. Is all is ok, I just have to pass the url with the intent.setData(uri) function ?15:20.51 
  One more question. Is it possible to build mupdf+curl on Mac os X ? it seems that there are some conflict between xcode & ndk files16:23.31 
ivanshmakov Any chance that the link to the PostScript FAQ at http://ghostscript.com/FAQ.html be changed to use the ‘https:’ URI scheme? (Instead of ‘http:’ it uses right now.)18:01.37 
kens But its not a secure site.....18:03.40 
ivanshmakov kens: Wikibooks surely /does/ support HTTPS.18:04.18 
  The link is in question is: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/PostScript_FAQ.18:04.42 
kens So you mean the link at thb to me.....That wasn't obviou18:06.10 
kens tries to type that again...18:06.45 
  You mean the link at teh bottom of *our* FAQ to a different PostScript FAQ, that wasn't clear to me.18:07.12 
ivanshmakov kens: Yes, that’s what I’ve meant.18:08.11 
chrisl So, why??18:13.26
