Contents stream contains floats in scientific notation about pymupdf HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting this, we're looking into it. A fix will need a new release of MuPDF, so probably will not be in the next PyMuPDF release.

Thanks! Is there a mupdf ticket that we could follow?

There isn't a ticket, but MuPDF master branch commit bfacc4e376012b025 earlier today provides the necessary hook to MuPDF's float-point formatting routine.

This commit will be cherry-picked onto the MuPDF release branch soon i think, and then used by a future PyMuPDF release.

Fixed in 1.24.3.

Hi. Just wanted to chime in and say that I was the one that originally brought this to @MerlijnWajer's attention and my results are the same as his. When Merlijn mentioned that the Internet Archive (for whom the archive-pdf-tools toolset was created) uses PymuPDF 1.21.0, I had pip install the toolset in a venv with version ==1.21.0 and not the latest, and it rendered correctly.

PyMuPDF version

1.21.0 (in venv), previously had 1.24.0 installed and had the same issue that @MerlijnWajer reproduced.

Operating System

Linux Mint (Debian->Ubuntu-based)

Python version

3.8.10 (in venv)
