Arbitron National Satellite Report - Spring 2007

When opening certain PDFs in Evince, the document comes up partially blank.  It
is only when you select the text in the document that it appears and becomes
readable.  It returns to a blank/unreadable status if you undo the text
selection.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
poppler-0.8.7-1.fc9.x86_64
evince-2.22.2-1.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:
100% with an affected document, attached

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open PDF in Evince
2. See text in PDF is missing
3. Select text with cursor, becomes readable
4. Unselect text with cursor, becomes unreadable again

Actual results:
PDF is unreadable without selecting the text

Expected results:
PDF should be readable without needing to select text

Determined to be a poppler bug by evince maintainers:
