The attached PDF file I cannot read with emacs -Q including many other
files, not appearing for unknown reason. Before month or more it was all
working well.

I can reproduce on Emacs 30 and Emacs 29, but not on Emacs 28

FTR, that file opens fine here, with Emacs 29 at ec172d748f, at 
d2a9dae400, at a6bad4d60f, at c59b8dfefa... and with Emacs 28.

Thanks.

So maybe the problem is updates to libraries/executables we use for
viewing PDF?  AFAIR, this is DocView, and it use Ghostscript and
libpng?  Maybe both Jean and Ihor had their systems updated recently?

I see the problem in Emacs 29 and master, but not in Emacs 28, on the
same system, i.e. with the same image libraries.  When the bad display
appears, the following entry appears in *Messages*:

Error parsing SVG image: XML parse error: Error domain 1 code 68 on line
7393 column 18 of data: StartTag: invalid element name

This seems to comes from svg_load_image in image.c.  I started Emacs 29
with -Q in gdb after setting a breakpoint at svg_load_image, opened the
PDF file, hit the breakpoint and stepped through till the bad display
appeared.  The ouput of bt full is attached.  (I also ran Emacs 28 under
gdb with the same breakpoint, and there visiting the PDF file does not
hit the breakpoint.)

Attached (gzipped).  In the mean time I found the problem: that file
contains occurrences of "<" and that causes the error; after replacing
them with "&lt;" the PDF is displayed correctly.

Thanks.  So this looks like a mutool bug, which generates incorrect SGV 
files, right?

Yep.  I just converted the PDF to SVG with mutool 1.19.0 and the
resulting image displays correctly and there is no "<" in the file.

xmllint clearly says the file is invalid, due to those "<" characters.

Okay, so this bug should be reported to mupdf instead, and this one can be 
closed.

FTR, I tried to open that SVG file with GIMP and ImageMagick, and both 
failed.

FTR, I just updated my mupdf to 1.21.1 and unfortunately the problem
remains as before.  I'll try to file a bug report with mupdf.

I just tried, and most PDF files are processed without problems with 
mutool 1.21.  So I'm not sure we should install such a workaround in 
Emacs, for a bug that happens in some cases for some specific versions 
(1.20 and 1.21) of a specific external program.

Those who have these versions of that program can (temporarily) add

(setq doc-view-mupdf-use-svg nil)

to their init file, or toggle that value to open problematic files.

That's not what Stephen says, he tried 1.21.1.

We can, of course, have an entry in etc/PROBLEMS, if that's the best
we can do.  But I wonder why you see something different from what
others see.

I see the same problem with the Jean's file, but I tried a random sample 
of about 20 PDF files and only a couple failed to be rendered correctly.

Perhaps we could add a command to toggle the rendering mode?

It happens when a document contains a '<' character so it can be rare
for someone.

You are right that it should be a temporary bug in mupdf.  But I was
more worry of random page not rendering as it was before with DocView.

More precisely: it happens for pages with a '<' character.  Other pages of 
the document are rendered correctly.

If it's rare, maybe a PROBLEMS entry is good enough.

I guess I'm not lucky because most of the document I read have some
pages with a '<' character 😅

Anyway, I'm fine with an etc/PROBLEMS entry.  For the moment, I'll set
doc-view-mupdf-use-svg to nil and try to see with Stephen how to have it
handled upstream.

Hi Gregory,

It seems that your patch was merged upstream:
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706320

So I think that we could left `doc-view-mupdf-use-svg' as it is and just
have an entry in etc/PROBLEMS.

Agreed, just mentioning that some specific versions of mupdf have a bug 
should be enough.  It would be even better if DocView could automatically 
fall back to generating a PNG file, but that seems rather complex to do.

How do we do that? I don't see in that bug report anything that says
which version will have that fixed.  What did I miss?

Versions 1.19 and 1.20 are not affected by that bug, currently only 
version 1.21 is (1.21.0 was released two months ago, 1.21.1 one month 
ago).

According to https://mupdf.com/releases/history.html they release a new 
version every six months or so, and a minor version when necessary.  So I 
would guess that this will be fixed either in version 1.21.2, or in 
version 1.22 in a few months.

OK, I've now added a PROBLEMS entry about this.  We can update it with
a non-buggy version when we know it.

And with that, I'm closing the bug.

I use Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.

After viewing PDF, I could see background process of mutool which was
making CPU busy for no apparent reason. Maybe it is related, I can't
know.

I can also observe that viewing DVI files with xdvi is terribly slow,
I can't know why, maybe it is related, maybe not.

With latest Emacs, pulled from git before minutes, I can't see first
page of that file, but if I press page down, I can see subsequent
pages.

I have been observing similar with other PDF files.

Including I can't see some PNGs
