(error "Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'")

[politza]

Does it work if you eval this

    (setq pdf-tools-enabled-modes
          (remq 'pdf-misc-size-indication-minor-mode
                pdf-tools-enabled-modes))

and then open a new pdf file ?

After the error message I enter pdf-view-mode but when I try to look
at the pdf as a picture with C-c C-c the same process repeats itself.

I don't quite understand this, as C-c C-c in pdf-view-mode switches to
doc-view-mode.

[HakanHolmberg]

When I evaluate the code you suggested the first part of the error message disappears and what remains is

Error during redisplay: (eval (number-to-string (pdf-view-current-page))) signaled (error "Lisp nesting exceedsmax-lisp-eval-depth'")

What I see when I open a pdf file in pdf-view-mode is the underlying file content of the pdf file and I used C-c C-c out of old habit trying to toggle to the png images as you do in doc-view so that was the reason . I can access the png image of the document through C-c C-c using doc view but really want to use pdf-tools (hence this message)

please tell med if you need any more information and thank you for your work, emacs was in desperate need of a good pdf viewer

[politza]

Please eval this

    (setq pdf-tools-enabled-modes nil)
    (add-hook 'pdf-view-mode-hook
              (lambda nil
                (setq mode-line-position nil)))

and then open a new PDF file and see what's happening.

Was your Emacs build with PNG support ?

    (image-type-available-p 'png)

What's the value of

   system-configuration-features

?

[HakanHolmberg]

After evaluating

(setq pdf-tools-enabled-modes nil)
(add-hook 'pdf-view-mode-hook
(lambda nil
(setq mode-line-position nil)))

I get the following erroe message when I try to open a pdf

image-mode-window-get: Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'

further on

(image-type-available-p 'png) evaluates to t

and

system-configuration-features evaluates to void, It seems like I do not have that variable defined

Do you think anything would change if I upgraded to emacs 24.4? As I understood, the function image-mode-window-get is part of image-mode.el that is used by doc-view. I read about som issues with this function but I am to much of a newbie to try something on my own. I gatherer som system settings from the emas bug report function, do not know if that is equivalent to system-configuration-features.

image-mode.el that is used by doc-view. I read about som issues with
this function [...]

Yes, it's a problem in image-mode-winprops which was fixed in
revsision 112716. But there are some more problems with 24.3. I'll
look into it.

[politza]

Please checkout and try the latest version. It should work now with Emacs
24.3.

[HakanHolmberg]

After reinstalling the old error message disappears but I get a new one when I try to view a pdf

pdf-view-desired-image-size: Invalid function: pdf-util-window-pixel-width

with the same result as the former one, I am not able to view the image only the underlying file content.

[politza]

You need to reload the package or restart Emacs.

[HakanHolmberg]

I did that but nothing changed, It seems to me that my best bet is to simply update emacs so that all functions are defined

[politza]

The undefined function pdf-util-window-pixel-width is the result of
reinstalling a new version over the older one.

Please delete it via list-packages, restart Emacs and reinstall
pdf-tools.

[HakanHolmberg]

It is up and running, thank you so much for your help
