I'm also seeing this on some PDFs in Evince from 14.04. Images appear correctly in main window, but become inverted in print preview and in paper printout.
When I extract images from these PDFs using pdfimages tool, extracted images also appear inverted. Looks like some versions of Acrobat embed images inverted and uninvert them on output, and this last step is omitted by Evince when printing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1560286 Title: Evince displays pdf file fine, but prints colors inverted Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have several pdf files that when opened by evince, they appear to be fine until I try to print them.
