It probably won't unless someone (maybe you?) gives us specific information about those PDF files. Like what's different about them.

Attached is a screen shot of an error message when trying to open some PDFs.

Please upload to smth like imgur.com and send a link.

It might be more helpful to include a link to one of the PDF files that are causing the problem, if possible.

OK, I uploaded one of the PDF files that GIMP 2.8.18 will not import as an example. I hope someone can tell me why this version of GIMP will not load this. http://imgur.com/gallery/h0SLM

Nope,

That's an image.

You can try something like filebin.net or transfer.sh to upload your PDF. On Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 4:21 PM Owen Cook wrote:

This made GIMP (2.9)'s pdf loader crash for me on Linux, but I could open the document ith eveince, print to a PDF file, and then open the PDF file.

The stack trace wasn't useful.

Hi all.

Yeah, the crash is in file-pdf-load, and the stack trace is from gimp.

you can start gimp like this:

GIMP_PLUGIN_DEBUG=file-pdf-load Gimp North_by_Northwest__1959_.pdf

and then attach a gdb to the process when gimp halts the execution of the plugin on startup.

which gives this stacktrace after the crash:

[...] (gdb) cont

So it seems that this is a) something in libpoppler, maybe related to getting thumbnails, and b) might be related to a unusual color space specification in this specific PDF.

Eh. Actually the crash is in lcms.

I’m not a code expert at all but I use GIMP to modify and color correct images and PDF documents. The tool set is good, flexible, and very powerful. I was using version 2.8.10 until I recently upgraded to 2.8.18. My platform is a late 2009 iMac running Sierra (OS 10.12). The problem I am now experiencing is I can no longer import certain PDFs to GIMP. It used to be really easy but now, no joy. I hope this will be fixed soon. I really like GIMP’s feature set and I hope this current problem is an easy fix. Attached is a screen shot of an error message when trying to open some PDFs.

I am using linux not OSX and as with others Gimp will not open the posted NxNW_1959.pdf. It does open in a linux pdf editor and apart from the creator, nothing unusual, fonts are nothing spaecial for example.

A straight save produces a pdf which does open in Gimp. A slight difference in file size orig: 585,860B vs new: 558.823

Usual problem editing PDF in Gimp, it is rasterized, A better bet might be LibreOffice which does open the original file.

Procedure 'file-pdf-load' returned no return values

My solution to this is making any edit to the PDF in Preview before importing into GIMP.
