A PDF where a vector circle gets displaced on printout.

I have a PDF document which contains a circle in the middle of an A4 paper, with text centered inside it. The text is centered properly when looking at the PDF in evince 2.32.x for Windows.

However when I print it, the circle is instead in the lower right corner of the printed paper (holding it as shown in evince).

I have tried some configuration variants (printer configuration default settings, vector/raster, of the same documents, scaling) but every time the circle ends up in the wrong place.

I am attaching the document, which was originally an SVG (I did not create it, but I believe it was made in Inkscape and can verify it if relevant).


I tried printing the document from a famous proprietary PDF reader and that was successful in the layout.

Switching between portrait/landscape mode as well as checking the "rotate 180 degrees" options in Windows' printer configuration, unsurprisingly, did not change anything.


I have not yet tried printing this document through evince on GNU/Linux. If there is an evince 3.x version for Windows I would gladly try it out.
