A correction to my message below: In the qpdfview settings (accessible from the Edit menu), under the Graphics tab, under the PDF sub-tab, after setting the Backend to Splash rather than Arthur, the PDF file in the link below--as well as other PDF files that were giving me problems--now displays correctly. (I might have changed the Backend setting from the default earlier when trying various things to fix the problem.) So for me the problem seems to be resolved. I'm not sure if this fixes David Wright's problem viewing PDF files sent by his credit card issuer.
