And it does, it tries like 3 different ways of opening the file before it bails
out.

Have you read my answers? His steps *do not work*

Pointing to lines of code is bad, he pretends like he understands the code,
which he doesn't, so it makes him less credible. So unless he can actually
provide a patch that fixes the issue for him, he should stop pointing to the
code and start trying to help us reproduce the issue.

But anyway we'll never fall back to PDF because it makes no sense.
