Description Yves Bellefeuille 2005-07-14 03:09:28 UTC
Distribution/Version: Fedora 4

The file at http://www.kniivila.net/deponejo/kongresa.pdf prints an overlay of
the file and of raw code (it seems) on my printer (HP LaserJet 4L). The file
prints properly with xpdf and gpdf. The preview is fine.

Comment 2 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-07-26 11:44:29 UTC
Is this actually a poppler bug? FC4 is using splash backend like gpdf...
Martin any idea?

There is a similar problem printing Persian documents. An example is this:

instructions here:

Ping?
Comment 6 Jiri Cerny 2005-09-22 14:25:16 UTC
I have very similar, probably the same problem. I did some investigations on the
postscript files generated by xpdf and evince. The problem is that the file from
xpdf contains 'embeded' (I do not know if it is the official name) fonts and the
file from evince not. Actually, one can do diff of two postscript files and
apply _only_ the chunk that contains fonts on evince postscript. The file then
prints  OK. This method works also for the originally reported file. If you
already know this, then excuse me for the noise, but maybe it can help.

Comment 7 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2005-09-22 14:31:07 UTC
Yeah this will probably help. Can you please report this to poppler bugzilla?
It's definately a popppler issue, we cant do much about it in evince.
