Public bug reported:
I find that when evince opens certain pdf files most of the contents are
blank while Okular can display these same files with no problem. For
example, the pdf version of this file http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.4561
With more experimentations it seems that that problem only happens with
pdf files which have been converted from postscripts. For example, in
the link above, evince could display the .ps version of the article, but
if convert it to .pdf (with ps2pdf) and try to open it with evince
again, one gets the same garbled display same as what happened when one
download the pdf file from the link and open it with evince. I cannot be
sure, but it seems that all the pdf files I have had problems were
converted from ps files (downloaded from academic sites which always
have a ps version) Again Okular displays all these files with no issue.
Ubuntu version 11.04, evince 2.32.0
