Comment 1 Johannes Buchner 2007-06-17 18:02:55 UTC 
Works here (0.6.1).
Comment 2 Pedro Villavicencio 2007-06-17 21:34:46 UTC 
It works here too with evince 0.8.1 . Can you try to run evince from the command line and see if there's some debug output and paste it here?, Thanks.
Comment 3 ben 2007-06-18 20:12:49 UTC 
No debug output on command-line. For what it's worth, i'm running Fedora 7 with the latest updates. The help-about screen says:

Evince 0.8.0
Document Viewer
Using poppler 0.5.4 (cairo)

Hope this helps.
Comment 4 Dexter 2007-08-20 19:41:43 UTC 
I can't view it, too.

Evince 0.8.3
Using poppler 0.5.4 (cairo)

Debian sid
Comment 5 Johannes Buchner 2007-08-21 00:33:32 UTC 
Confirming: I too see an empty page now on 0.6.1, 0.9.0 and head (+poppler head), from 3 Weeks ago. Odd. 
Might have something to do with fonts?
Comment 6 Carlos Garcia Campos 2007-08-25 14:46:04 UTC 
It's a poppler bug:

Thanks for reporting.
