This is a simple IDA plugin to load PDB symbols. The problem is that sometimes IDA crashes for me when trying to load symbols, so I came up with this quick and dirty alternative.
This plugin relies on Python pdbparse module (https://github.com/moyix/pdbparse), and I have it included in plugin, because I had to do minor modifications to code.
pdbparse also relies on other Python module named construct (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/construct). I have included construct in plugin. pdbparse is using old API (version 2.0.0 is known to support it).
Load plugin (Alt+F7), pick PDB file and wait. It will take a while if PDB file is big.
Tested only on IDA 6.9 x32. Sometimes fails to find symbols for certain functions. Currently only renames functions.
