Bug Description
[Impact]
PDF files are not shown in Qt WebEngine based browsers, such as Falkon.
The bug appeared because Polymer v3 JS library, which is needed by the internal PDF viewer, was excluded from the tarball for DFSG compliance.
[Test Plan]
1. Open a browser application based on QtWebEngine, i.e. Falkon
2. Open a PDF file either local or online. Example PDF link: http://
3. See no controls and no file visible on the page, JavaScript errors on the console
What is expected:
PDF file being opened, all controls on the page are visible, similarly to the following screenshot
https:/
[Where problems could occur]
The fix is using a non-minified file instead of the minified one. The substantial part of these files seems to be identical.
There may be still some problems with the PDF viewer, because we are using a wrong file or because other files are excluded. But it should be definitely better than completely broken viewer.
Also the package may FTBFS. However I tested it in a PPA and it built fine on all three architectures.
[Other Info]
