Description Alec Taylor 2011-10-13 03:33:13 UTC

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately output from pdfdraw is not parsable by LibXML2.


= How to reproduce error =
[From console]
> wget http://archive.org/download/lawofthehayes00ewinrich/lawofthehayes00ewinrich.pdf && pdfdraw -ttt awofthehayes00ewinrich/lawofthehayes00ewinrich.pdf > law.xml
> wget http://pastebin.ca/raw/2089594 -O main.c
// compile and link to the LibXML2 libraries with -o parser
> parser law.xml
law.xml:9: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: char line 0 and span
</span>
       ^
law.xml : failed to parse

Please patch the library to fix this bug.

Thanks,

Alec Taylor

After patch, here is my output:

> parser law5.xml 1> log1.txt 2> log2.txt
log1.txt = http://pastebin.com/ZtPVdbEq
log2.txt = http://pastebin.com/aBKW1x3k

Please fix this as soon as you can.

Thanks for the effort!

The output for this file passes http://www.xmlvalidation.com just fine.

If the latest version from git still goes wrong, please reopen this bug and attach the .xml and the errors again. If it's possible to restrict it to a single page (or a smaller page range) that goes wrong, that would help too.

Thanks.
