The problem seems to be caused by evince that uses DSC processing on a non-DSC-conforming file. Removal of all DSC comments makes evince display the last page of the file only. This indicates that evince cannot handle non-conforming files at all.
Perhaps evince can convert all PostScript files to PDF and avoid the reliance on DSC parsing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1456668 Title: evince cannot display one of my postscript files Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I try to read the attached file with evince it only displays the first 3 pages.
