you know that KDE applications can run out of Kubuntu right? what you should recommand there is to use okular, not to change environments -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584222 Title: Comparatively poor rendering in Evince Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: evince I reported a bug in Evince earlier relating to poor rendering of certain pdfs (in comparison to xpdf and Adobe). The bug was fixed for a huge class of pdfs. (Bug #490918) However, I recently found a pdf which Evince doesn't render as perfectly as xpdf or Adobe Reader. I've attached a tar file containing a screenshot comparing the same pdf rendered in Evince (upper left), Adobe (right) and xpdf (bottom). The tar file also contains the particular pdf which shows this problem. What's weird is that if I print the pdf to a pdf file from Evince, the new printed pdf renders perfectly in Evince (as good as it renders in xpdf and Adobe). I suggest downloading the png file and viewing it in 'Normal Size' in say, Eye of Gnome, so that it looks just like it did on my screen. (Otherwise, you probably won't notice the differences. And trust me, the slightly inferior rendering can be quite irritating when reading pages of scanned handwritten notes!)
