GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 331483
Evince doesn't render this PDF correctly.

Evince renders the following PDF incorrectly. http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/resources/05_1413.pdf (found on http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1park_display.cfm?park=136) xpdf seems to do a better job at rendering it on screen, but doesn't print it correctly (adding the same white areas as seen in evince when viewing on the screen).
Hi, this looks like a bug with the PDF backend. Could you please follow these instructions to help get this bug fixed. Thank You. http://live.gnome.org/Evince/PopplerBugs#poppler
Works fine here with poppler cairo HEAD and evince HEAD.
Right, I'm using: [rodd@localhost ~]$ rpm -q poppler evince poppler-0.6-2.fc8 evince-2.20.1-2.fc8 This is still not rendering correctly. Also, the following URL's have the same problem with the PDF's there. http://www.dragonsfoot.org/php4/archive.php?sectioninit=AD&fileid=152&watchfile=0 http://www.dragonsfoot.org/php4/archive.php?sectioninit=AD&fileid=162&watchfile=0 These all render fine in xpdf (as a comparison)
Also, attempts to view a print preview using the print preview button in the print dialog result either in errors (unhanded MIME type: "text/plain")[1] or no error, but a zero page document[2]. [1] in the case of the two more recent URLs [2] in the case of the original file.
what cairo version do you have?
[rodd@localhost ~]$ rpm -q cairo cairo-1.4.10-2.fc8
It's a cairo issue. It has been recently fixed: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9846
If the bug has been fixed (sorry but I'm not on my GNOME box, so I cannot confirm it), how about closing it? Thanks, Pablo
Done, thanks a lot
