Bug Description

Binary package hint: eog

Summary: Exporting an image from the Ubuntu default installed PDF viewer (Evince) produces JPEGs of a variety that the default image viewer (Eye of Gnome) cannot load. GIMP and other image related applications have no problem with the output.

Frequency: Always

Reproduce: Load a PDF with embedded images. Right click and select "Save Image As...". Save as a JPG. Try to load the result using Eye of Gnome.

Architecture / Platform: Ubuntu 7.10 amd64

Upon further review, it appears that Evince is not exporting the file to the extension named.

In this instance, choosing the "Save as..." in Evince failed to save the image as a JPG and wrote it as a PNG (probably the source image format in the PDF.)

Is this in fact perhaps two possible bugs? One for the Evince not exporting as per file extension and one for Eye of Gnome not identifying images based on their headers as opposed to their extensions (as per GIMP and other display apps)?

May you tell us a few steps to reproduce the bug?, also If you can't attach the image we can't say where is the bug.

It is just an embedded PNG.

Right click on any embedded PNG in a PDF and click 'Save As...' and try saving it with the .JPG extension.

I don't have a link to the PDFs -- any PDF with images would suffice. Try any one from http://artzmania.com
