PDF test case that it is rendered properly

------------------------------------------
I created a simple pdf with alpha transparency and it looks fine in evince.
However, I need to interact with adobe illustrator for work. When AI opens the
pdf and saves it again, and then I load that pdf that was generated by AI in
evince, then the transparency is broken. Everything looks opaque instead of
transparent.
However, I can open the pdf that is generated by AI in Foxit Reader (on a
computer running windows) and it looks fine. Another workaround is if I save
from AI as PDF1.3 instead of PDF1.7 then it works, but I would rather not have
to do this.
I am using Linux Mint 16 and the version of evince from the package manager
(3.6.1 using cairo/poppler 0.24.1). I can provide more system details upon
request.
I have attached the original file (transparency.pdf) which looks fine. And I
have attached the file that is produced by AI (transparency_fromai.pdf) which
looks wrong in evince.
I realize this is probably more of a bug in AI than it is in evince, but I
would appreciate any suggestions for how I can open these PDF1.7 files in
evince and view the transparency.
------------------------------------------
The problem is reproducible with poppler-glib and poppler-qt4-demo using the
Arthur backend. The Splash backend renders the document correctly, as well as
acroread.</pre>
