            Bug ID: 93780
           Summary: PDF not rendering correctly from  evince
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium

Hi,

I filed an intial bug about the problem with Evince
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760863 and someone responded that
the issue comes from poppler-cairo which is used by evince. I was therefore
advised to file the bug here. So, here it goes:

I have downloaded this document:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2015/549034/EXPO_STU%282015%29549034_EN.pdf
to my desktop and opened it in Evince. The *first* time document opens
correctly. However, afterwards the document opens but all the pages appear
blank except for the first one. I can use the mouse to select blocks of content
in the pages but, there is nothing visible. I thought that perhaps the document
is corrupt for some reason but, that is not the case. For instance, i can view
the document correctly via Firefox's built-in PDF viewer (PDFJS). I also ran
Evince on that (downloaded) document with debug options (both GDK-DEBUG and
GTK-DEBUG) and it appears that both output refers to some font issue:

--8<--8<--

font type 9 not handled
some font thing failed

--8<--8<--

Then Germán Poo-Caamaño developer from Evince project reported that he has
conducted the following subsequent tests:

It is possible to reproduce the issue with:
$ pdftocairo -png EXPO_STU(2015)549034_EN.pdf

However, the following works fine:
$ pdftoppm -png EXPO_STU(2015)549034_EN.pdf foo


Thanks in advance and kind regards
