Issue description
Chrome Version : 50.0.2661.87 m
URLs (if applicable) : Load PDF from disk file or download from web site.
Firefox: PASS (ALL)
IE: PASS (ALL)
What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open the attached file: broken.pdf
(2) Screen is totally gray.
What is the expected result?
Should render the words "It Works!" on the screen.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
Worked perfectly in Chrome 49 and all previous versions of Chrome.
File works fine in Adobe PDF Viewer and Firefox, I.E. etc.
Looks like a possible Chrome PDF parsing issue?
This is a serious issue affecting all of our customers.

Here's an extremely simple PDF consisting of a 1 inch square box that is broken in Chrome.

I'm using Version 50.0.2661.87 m and see also only grey in all the "broken" pdf files. I downloaded PDF for Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide which ran directly from browser and see the PDF as it should be. Whether the different "broken" pdf's are damaged, or not coverted to pdf correctly from the unknown version of app used, is unconfirmed but the below PDF is visual for use, and not showing as grey in the latest version. http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.co.uk/en/uk/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf

We found a bug in the linearization dictionary of that PDF. There was an invalid object number for the 1st page. However, we are seeing a different issue now. In the example PDF uploaded the initial preview of the page should be in Landscape (not portrait) There is a 90 degree rotation that isn't working. If you hit the "Print" button the 2nd preview shows correctly. Works in other browsers and in Adobe Acrobat. Should this be opened as separate bug?

The page is being rotated for previewing using /AA dictionary (Additional Actions) utilizing the Will Print and Did Print events. << /Type /Catalog /Pages 1 0 R /ViewerPreferences<</FitWindow true /PrintScaling /None /PickTrayByPDFSize false /Duplex /Simplex>> /AA<</WP<</S/JavaScript/JS(this.setPageRotations\(0, this.numPages - 1, 0\);)>>/DP<</S/JavaScript/JS(this.setPageRotations\(0, this.numPages - 1, 90\);)>>>> >>

This code works in previous versions of Chrome.

Umm, I see broken.pdf has been deleted. Do you still care about that case? If not, we can reuse this bug for Letter-A-Rotation-Issue.pdf. How do you want to proceed?

Closing and creating a cleaner bug might be the best. Take everything from the 2nd paragraph in comment 5. My guess is that the initialization dictionary in the PDF was never looked at before Chrome before v50. Which uncovered our mistake. Other PDF parser were more forgiving.

Ok. I'll close this then. Please file a new bug.

BTW, I think the original issue is related to bug 604146 .

And Letter-A-Rotation-Issue.pdf is also related, so it's all my fault. :-[ |
