Description rgnodev 2015-07-21 04:18:32 UTC
When I open the PDF textbook provided by the following link:

http://curriculumenlinea.mineduc.cl/descargar.php?id_doc=201301091407230

with Evince, some images and pages are shown as black boxes/ black shapes. See, for example, the following pages: 1, 8, 12, 13, 28, 33, 37. Compare results by opening the same file with Adobe Reader, or even Firefox's built-in PDF reader.

Currently using: 
Evince 3.16.1
Cairo 1.14.2-1
Poppler 0.33.0-1

Operating System: Antergos

If this bug is not being caused by evince itself, but by any of their underlying components/dependencies, I would be grateful to receive any indication to report the bug to the proper development team.

Kind regards.
Roberto.

Roberto, I don't get the blacboxes neither with poppler 0.30 nor with 0.32. If you can reproduce with pdftocairo (which is a tool of poppler) then it's a poppler bug and probably a regression since 0.32 works fine.

Dear José:

I can reproduce it with pdftocairo. I'll report the issue to the Poppler development team.
