pdf generation fails when 'activate' is used after 'newpage'

Question

Trying to create 2 pages of pdf with the following code fails:

@startuml

 

title Page One

actor A

actor B

 

newpage

 

A -> B : simple activity

activate A

deactivate A

B -> A : end of it

 

@enduml

 

with the following exception:

 

java -jar  ../plantumlPDF/plantuml.jar -Sshadowing=false  -tpdf TestNewPage.plantuml 

About to transcoder source of type: org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.SVGConverterFileSource

org.apache.batik.bridge.BridgeException: file:/var/folders/s_/lz3vjncd0dx9rvnj0n63c_gr0000gn/T/pdf9158609723101651096.svf:-1

The attribute "height" of the element <rect> cannot be negative

at org.apache.batik.bridge.SVGRectElementBridge.buildShape(Unknown Source)

 

 

Upon either commenting out 'newpage' or 'activate ..deactivate' , pdf generation works.

 

I used 'plantumlPDF.zip'  which is linked here to a dropbox. Also tried to replace plantuml.jar with a newer version

(8020beta3)

Thanks for the report.

This should be ok with the last beta:

Very few tests have been done, so feedback welcome!

Thanks again!
