           Summary: PDF rendered as blank pages
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: bart at jukie.net


I have obtained a PDF from HiFn.  Specifically from http://extranet.hifn.com/ --
which required that I sign an NDA agreement, so I cannot post the PDF here. 
Anyone can get the documents, AFAIK.  Yeah, I know it sucks.

The document in question is UG-0034-02_7954_7955_7956_Hardware_Users_Guide.pdf

With a recent evince (0.6.1) using poppler (0.5.4), I am getting this document
rendered as 122 pages of white.  That is on Ubuntu/Edgy.  All the other pdf
viewers do the same thing (xpdf, gpdf, kpdf, pdf2ps + gv, pdftops + gv), but
some of them flash the content before drawing shite over the page.

The document also renders fine on my wife's OSX box using adobe acrobat reader,
but not using the apple preview program.

I installed a chroot with Debian/Sarge (evince 0.1.5, no poppler) and tried
evince from that distribution.  The document renders ok.  I have been told that
evince 0.4.0 with poppler 0.4.5 (on Debian/testing) rendered this document fine too.

I am not a desktop developer, but I can help debug this remotely for anyone. 
Just let me know what you need from me.
