Created attachment 105606 send setpagedevice I've just bisected where the behaviour changes. I found that placing a setpagedevice to the place of where Orientation was originally set helps. But I still don't know why.

(Just show an empty page.) [how to reproduce] 1. Generate an EPS file using gnuplot by executing the following command. $ gnuplot -e "set terminal postscript; set output 'test.eps'; plot x;" 2. Open the file "test.eps" just created. $ evince "test.eps" The following are what evince writes to the terminal. (evince:24176): EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_get_n_pages: assertion 'EV_IS_DOCUMENT (document)' failed (evince:24176): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `EvView': invalid matrix (not invertible) (evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed (evince:24176): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_surface: assertion 'width > 0 && height > 0' failed 3. Then evince just shows an empty (white) page. === If i rotate 90 or -90 degree by pressing Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right key, evince can show this file correctly. === Okular, GIMP, inkscape and gs can show this EPS file. (may be rotated 90 degree, however) [Impact] With the default viewer for PostrScript and EPS files, many files do not display and produce errors/warnings. Users usually do not know that they can visualize these files by rotating the page and rotated it is also not in a very useful orientation. [Test Case] Display the attached EPS file with evince or follow the steps under "how to reproduce" above. Rotate the page via Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right and the image is only visible for two of the four orientations. Withe the proposed package the problem get solved. The image is visible in all the four orientations. [Regression Potential] Low, as tested with various files and reviewed by several upstream developers.
