Good - I've used Gimp's smudge tool to hide personal information (199.17 KB, image/png)

Bad - I didn't edit the image since most text is missing. Actually it seems to be there in little "dots" (48.60 KB, image/png)

Good - I've used Gimp's smudge tool to hide personal information

On Fedora 12 with these versions:

evince-2.28.2-1.fc12.i686
poppler-0.12.4-2.fc12.i686
cairo-1.8.8-3.fc12.i686

I'm seeing a bug in the way the content of certain PDFs is displayed which makes them unreadable.

These PDFs are bills with some personal information which I'd prefer not to attach to a public forum like this. But I'm willing to email them personally to a developer who can debug this issue.

I'm going to attach screenshots of the same file displayed by Preview on OS X and Evince on Fedora 12.

Feel free to send it to me (carlosgc gnome org)
 
Thanks for reporting.

I have the document and it works for me. I think it might be a bug in poppler or cairo that has been already fixed. Feel free to reopen the bug if the problem is still present for you with poppler >= 0.13.x and cairo >= 1.9.6. 

Thanks for reporting,
