Summary0015616: After importing PDF created by imagemagick, scribus saves corrupt .sla files
DescriptionLoading a PDF file into scribus works fine. Saving this opened project as .sla file works fine, but if one try to open this .sla file, the following error pops up:

An error occurred while parsing file at line 3, column 645 :
Unexpected ''.

and no file is loaded.

Interesting fact: this seems to happen only with pdf made by imagemagick (convert).
I tried to create a pdf file with libreoffice and img2pdf, everything is okay, the .sla file opens after saving.

This might be a bug in imagemagick, but, since scribus opens the file correctly, why is it not able to save it properly?
Steps To Reproduce1. create a pdf made of pictures using imagemagick: convert *.jpg output.pdf
2. open this pdf file with scribus
3. save it as .sla file
4. try to open this .sla file, the error message is poping up.
Tagsimport, open, PDF, save
PatchNo

You will need to provide us a sample PDF which triggers this issue. Without it, we won't be able to provide much help. Nowadays most of the development is done outside of Linux environment. So imagemagick is not something I have at hand or even want to install on my computer.

The PDF produce by imagemagick is apparently broken. The document title is stored incorrectly in the PDF:
/Title (þÿ<NUL>o<NUL>u<NUL>t<NUL>s<NUL>i<NUL>z<NUL>e<NUL><NUL>)

This way of storing a unicode string is incorrect. The proper syntax in this case would be:
/Title <FEFF006F0075007400730069007A0065>

I added a small workaround to fix this issue. On our side, the issue is fixed. It would be good to report the PDF syntax bug to imagemagick too.
