Pdf fails to render properly
Last modified: 2016-12-07 17:02:24 UTC
Created attachment 340779 [details] Pdf that evince fails to render properly. This pdf fails to render properly, although it works fine in other FOSS e.g. Xournal. Let me know if this is a Poppler bug.
I wonder what it could be. My first reaction was: it must be poppler. However, the ouput `pdftocairo -png` looks just fine, and my understanding is that pdftocairo uses the same poppler backend (cairo) used by evince.
I encounter the same bug on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=128318 but only if I open the pdf directly from iceweasel. If I give the URL to evince on the command line or wget the file and open in evince, it works a bit ugly but OK-ish. OTOH, for attachment 340779 [details], wget+open works fine, but direct url or via iceweasel doesn't render properly.
Closing because this bug is in poppler. I've attached a patch to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/98983.
