--- Comment #3 from Ludovic Tolhurst-Cleaver <camel at ltcdev.com> ---
I found that print preview was fine, but that the printed document came out
with many spaces missing, making the document hard to read. 

Please can the title of this bug be updated to better reflect the bug. An issue
with print preview may be a slight inconvenience at best - most people wouldn't
even notice it. When this problem manifests in the actual printed document, it
is a considerable annoyance - especially with programming documentation. 

Also, I haven't been seeing this in the Print Preview, but I have certainly
seen it with every printout I've made from evince since I started using it
again. 

I have noticed this printing issue across two different setups of OS (well,
Debian and Ubuntu), printer, printer driver etc. in different companies. 

In both cases I was printing the perldoc PDFs available from perldoc.perl.org
(if you're looking to reproduce my experience of the problem as accurately as
possible - but of course it seems to affect all PDF documents). 

Here are the versions of the poppler & libpoppler packages that I have
installed: 

libpoppler-glib8:amd64     0.24.5-2ubuntu4.2     amd64
libpoppler-qt4-4:amd64     0.24.5-2ubuntu4.2     amd64
libpoppler44:amd64         0.24.5-2ubuntu4.2     amd64
poppler-data               0.4.6-4               all  
poppler-utils              0.24.5-2ubuntu4.2     amd64
