Description Rolf Linder 2007-07-21 16:05:27 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
evince-0.8.2-1.fc7

I'm expiriencing serious problems with evince since fedora 7. there exists many
"types" of pdf's which evince cannot display. sometimes there seems to be no
content, sometimes there is a cryptic view of it.

after you select the text you can read it right way. these problems were not
existing in fc6.


How reproducible:
on the specific pdfs always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open some type of pdfs
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

wrong display (unless you select text)


Expected results:
correct display of pdf


Additional info:

attached you can find a pdf which cannot be correctly displayed....if I open the
first page I can see only "pock" if I select text I can see the whole text
"Poket PC Phone"....

Texas Instruments TPS65020 Datasheet

I can confirm this bug as well. This Texas Instruments TPS65020 Datasheet that
can be downloaded from
http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tps65020.html does not seem to
render right in evince (evince-0.8.2-1.fc7). As soon as some text is selected
it magically appears. Same PDF works just fine with xpdf.

Comment 4 Adam D. Ligas 2007-10-24 21:15:37 UTC
I can also confirm this bug.  See the attached Arbitron Satellite Radio ratings
PDF.  Evince fails to render the text in the tables from page 4 onward.

The document works properly in Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 and 8.0 on Windows.

Just for Information. On the now published Fedora8 the bug doesent exist any
more....



Comment 7 Rolf Linder 2007-11-13 15:46:35 UTC
Due to this is solved in Fedora8 I'll close this bug.
