           Summary: Transparent boxes are rendered opaque, making text
                    unreadable
           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: andreas.w.simon at gmail.com


The background of certain sections of a particular PDF appear white and since
the text is also white that results in the text being invisible. The text can be
made visible by highlighting the text in evince.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download http://www.killernic.com/KillerNic/PDFs/KillerNic_TechSpecsHi.pdf
2. Open the downloaded file in evince .

Expected results:
The boxes behind the text should be transparent and the text readable. Stuntment
at a network card that will "speed up and accelerate online video games"

Actual results:
Large white squares over the PDF where some of the text is on both pages.
Increase in marketting cynicism.

Additional Information:
The PDF displayed correctly in acroread acroread-7.0.8-0.4 on OpenSUSE 10.1.

This was reproduced with libpoppler 0.5.3-0ubuntu6 and 0.5.1-0ubuntu7 with both
evince and kpdf.
