Bug#347423: evince: renders ECMA-6 PDF as featureless black pages

[Paul Wellner Bou]

I have exactly the same problem. The ECMA-PDF files are black and the 
text only appears selecting it.


There are a lot of PDF files that contain areas which are displayed with 
black background (and the black text is only visible selecting it so 
that it turns white). The file linked in Bug #347652 
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=347652) is one of them.


I have PDF files here (downloaded from 
http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~eclipse/, e.g. 
http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~eclipse/2-Basic.pdf) where only the areas 
which contain code (Courier font) do have a black background. The 
postscript files on this page aren't displayed well either -- images and 
text chaotically distributed over the pages. Converting these ps files 
into pdf files (with ps2pdf) does not solve the problem, the text and 
images are displayed well, but the black background of the code-areas 
remains.


I am running an Up-to-date debian sid. Is this a debian problem? Using 
the 0.4.0 sources of evince does not solve the problem either.


Regards
Paul.

Bug#347423: evince: renders ECMA-6 PDF as featureless black pages

[Paul Wellner Bou]

I tried a little bit around with evince and poppler (libpoppler-glib). 
It seems to be a problem with the actual version of libpoppler in debian 
(4.3-3).


I built poppler 0.5.0 from the original sources 
(http://poppler.freedesktop.org/) and compiled evince against this 
libraries. Both -- evince 0.4.0 and evince 0.5.0 from cvs (i did not 
built the debian sources) work fine. The black background isn't there 
anymore, the files are readable (the postscript files not, but that's 
another matter, i think).


Regards
Paul.

Bug#347423: evince: renders ECMA-6 PDF as featureless black pages

[Branden Robinson]

Package: evince
Version: 0.4.0-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/evince

When I try to view:

  http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ecma-st/ECMA-006.pdf

with evince, all I get are 28 featureless black pages.

xpdf and gpdf render the same file just fine.
