GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 603594
Incorrect PDF rendering
Last modified: 2011-07-20 18:00:14 UTC
I detected incorrect PDF rendering in Evince 2.27, and it remains in 2.28. Example e-book is here: http://narod.ru/disk/14538746000/English.pdf.html If I try to open it with xpdf, it is rendered correctly. But with Evince there are white areas instead of text. Example screenshots: http://omploader.org/vMndlaQ - Almost no text in Evince http://omploader.org/vMndlag - Correctly rendered next page http://omploader.org/vMndlaw - Partially displayed text at the next page There are no troubles with printing - all pages are printed correctly. Problem is only for screen rendering. System: Arch Linux, Evince 2.28.1, poppler 0.12.2 (cairo).
Confirmed on Evince 2.29.3 (git master), poppler 0.12.2 (git master).
E-Book is not reachable anymore. So I think this has to be closed. Anton can you provide a new link?
Sorry, I forgot about file expiration at yandex.narod. Re-uploaded e-book file to the new location: http://ompldr.org/vOWlsbQ
P.S.: I still reproduce this bug with Evince 3.0.2, poppler 0.16.7: http://ompldr.org/vOWlsbw
Hi Anton thanks alot for uploading, I can in fact reproduce this: $ rpm -q evince poppler evince-3.0.2-1.fc15.i686 poppler-0.16.7-1.fc15.i686
Just tried with okular and the PDF displays just fine with okular from kdegraphics-4.6.5-3.fc15.i686. Anton please update the version information in this bug, i.e. set the version to 3.0.x. @developers: Is this an evince or poppler bug?
This is a poppler issue, and it looks like another bug in CairoOutputDev::drawImageMaskPrescaled(). In general, rendering issues are poppler bugs, but you can make usre by using poppler-glib-demo. Thanks.
I reported the issue at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39389
Oh, sorry, I had not reported that I've already created corresponding issue in fd.org bugtracker: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39343 So you've made a dup. Please, close one of these issues as duplicate of another. Thanks a lot.
