  * Many PDFs do not display correctly, including the boarding passes from a
major European airline.

  * Printing a boarding pass is a common simple task which users expect to
work, and therefore should be fixed in the stable release.

  * See upstream bug report for discussion about the mechanism of the

  * Observe corrupted text displayed.

  [Regression Potential]

  * Theoretically, other PDFs which currently display correctly could be
  displayed incorrectly after this change, but is intended to emulate
  acroread, so this is unlikely.

  * Patch has been reviewed and committed upstream, so should be safe.

[HEXcube]

I installed and tested all packages (libpoppler-glib8, libpoppler-qt5-1,
libpoppler44 and poppler-utils ) from the new patched v0.24.5-2ubuntu4.3
poppler in the proposed repo. They're verified to work properly on
Ubuntu 14.04LTS "Trusty Tahr" and renders the sample pdf file without
error.

enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Created attachment 98133
easyjet boarding pass not rendered correctly

Hello, the attached PDF (easyjet boarding pass) is not correctly rendered under 
poppler (evince).
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 amd64, so evince 3.10.3 and poppler 0.24.5.

Evince prints a lot of messages like:
Syntax Warning: font matrix not invertible0a

while ghostscript renders the PDF correctly, but prints lots of:
    Warning: Invalid 0.0 font scale given for Tf 
    Warning: /BBox has zero width or height, which is not allowed.

so I suspect the PDF is defective, but poppler should be made more fault 
tolerant as ghostscript does.
Otherwise, no boarding pass print anymore :-(

I can fix the PDF with
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=out.pdf in.pdf

Yeah also for me in okular is ok. And no log messages on stdout at all.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed
in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Vivid Vervet.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in
previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the
SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
