"An error occurred while rendering the page"

Asketa · November 29, 2022

I get this error when I try to open one specific item in my library, in Zotero Reader. On all pages in that PDF. I can open PDF fine in Adobe. It still opens the pages but as far as I can see, it opens only the OCR, not the actual PDF image.

I have completed OCR in ABBYY Fine Reader prior to storing it in Zotero.

Any idea how to fix it?

Could you paste the complete error message with all details?

Asketa · November 30, 2022

I can't because I don't know how to copy it. I can select it though. It says something about "Stack" and "CanvasGraphics".

Then could you provide a Debug ID for it happening?

Asketa · December 1, 2022

Debug ID copied from clipboard: D1429895302.

If there is a way I can show you a screenshot?

Are you just selecting the tab? Because we need to log the moment when you open the PDF file and the error occurs.

Oh, I guess you already did exactly that.

Unfortunately I can't see the error message. But most likely this is a known issue that occurs with some scanned papers containing very large images.

Perhaps you are right. It's a PhD dissertation that, when opened in Adobe, says that Page Size is "39,57x60,10 in", and its 70Mb in size.
