GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 159494
evince doesn't render graphics right
Last modified: 2006-08-27 22:45:33 UTC
Open the following file: http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/mp-cb-en.pdf. In the first page there are red points over all and xpdf displays it right, but gpdf doesn't display them. Sorry for my inaccurate description. As soon you open the first page in both viewers, you'll notice the diference.
same with 2.9.1
Gpdf is no longer maintained, closing WONTFIX. Please use Evince for your pdf viewing needs. http://www.gnome.org/projects/evince/
evince does not render the red dots either (compare to gv). Reopen, reassign to evince.
Done. Version set as per private comment. Thanks for taking care about this and ensuring software quality. :)
I believe this bug is fixed in CVS head of evince (I see all the red dots). Displaying the pdf might be slightly slower than in acroread, but otherwise I don't see big differences. Can you confirm this?
Okay I had some more time to triage this bug. I indeed is still present in evince, however only with the cairo-backend. It is now reported in poppler bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6174. Moreover, I think it's the same as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=173143 , or at least closely related.
Thanks a lot, Patrick. Let's track this problem in poppler bugzilla.
