Generally with drawing stuff in them, I don't think I've seen it mess up a text-only file. Okular is very slow to start up, but always works properly. It was generally exports from LibreCAD and gschem, which probably weren't perfect PDFs but which rendered fine in Acrobat on Windows. Sorry, that's the reference standard, as it's what everyone sees my drawings with. As always, this kind of problem occured in the middle of an urgent job, so I did the bare minimum to get working again, (i.e. found another GUI PDF reader) and didn't document anything. I believe I reported the bug and attached a small example file. A quick glance at half a dozen random old drawing PDFs with Evince doesn't show any obvious problem (and they were) so maybe the fault has been fixed by now. -- Joe
