PyMuPDF==1.24.0 will hanging when using page.get_text("text") about pymupdf HOT 11 CLOSED

I encountered the same on Friday with 1.24.1. Rolling back to 1.23.14 "fixed" it.
Interestingly enough, it was triggered on a .pdf with the same first page as @xiaominghero shared (attached).
(❗ note that we encountered this on different files, not just this one)

import fitz
doc = fitz.open("I_break_things.pdf")
doc

I_break_things.pdf

This is base library problem occurring on the first page - the second page works.
I will open a bug in MuPDF's issue system.

It is this one page that causes the problem - not any other.

@jan-benisek Unfortunately, Version 1.23.14 is not OK for me.

This has been fixed in v1.24.2.

Hi @JorjMcKie ,

I still run into the same issues on 1.24.2 while testing on the file (the first page) that @jan-benisek submitted.

That is,

import fitz

fitz.open("I_break_things.pdf")[0].get_text()

hangs, while working fine on 1.23.14.

Sorry - my bad. The required / developed MuPDF fix is not contained in this version yet.
I am re-opening the issue.

from pymupdf.

No worries, and thanks a lot for all your work.

from pymupdf.

Fixed in 1.24.3.
