<div class="">&gt; Hi all,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I get a very strange behaviour in Dolphin when dealing some PDF files (I do<br>
&gt; not yet know why just some of them).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The preview shows an image that is larger than the actual page, with a big<br>
&gt; white area.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I tried to split the PDF (pdftk burst) and the thumbnails of some of them<br>
&gt; have the same problem.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; When opening the PDF with Okular, Gimp or other programs everything works<br>
&gt; perfectly.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Here are 2 examples of this behaviour. In the first one the image is also<br>
&gt; surrounded by a white border which is invisible in Gimp or Okular.<br>
&gt;<br>

target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8dlXBUSEZtPY19CSTBvNW9QTDA&amp;usp=sharing</a><br>
 &gt;<br>
&gt; Anyone understands why Dolphin produces a wrong thumbnail?<br>
&gt; What does Dolphin use to generate the previews? Ghostscript? What parameters<br>
&gt; does it use?<br>
<br>
</div>I think that KDE applications use the &quot;ps&quot; subdirectory of this<br>
repository to generate PDF previews:<br>
