Post subject:  Trouble with PDFs generated by Scribus
Hi,

Here's a little project with a sample document exported from Scribus with PDF 1.3-1.5 output settings.

http://zoidberg.whiletrue.com/rudi/PDFS ... busBug.zip

Output from my machine:

Code:
test_pdf_1.3.pdf

We haven't been able to find a workaround yet (export settings or anything else). Debugging PDFSharp uncovered that this.Owner is null for these PDFDictionaries which obviously shouldn't be the case.

The project is bundled with PDFSharp 1.2, also crashes on 1.0.

Thanks!

Hi,

you found a serious bug. Scribus uses a rare way of resource inheritance, which was yet not correctly handled in PDFsharp.

Fix InheritValues in PdfPage.cs.
Code:
     internal static void InheritValues(PdfDictionary page, InheritedValues values)
        ...
        if (res is PdfReference)
        {
          resources = (PdfDictionary)((PdfReference)res).Value.Clone();
          resources.Document = page.Owner;  // <<<<<<<<<<
        }
        else
          resources = (PdfDictionary)res;

        if (resources == null)
        {
          resources = values.Resources.Clone();
          resources.Document = page.Owner;  // <<<<<<<<<<
          page.Elements.Add(PdfPage.Keys.Resources, resources);
        }...

Regards
