Fancy.

Mmm. I'll go look at those this evening and see what (else?) is wrong 
with them.

Hrm. Where is it different? It was my main test case when working on 
these; I thought I got it to match. I see several missing columns, but 
they are similarly missing on acroread (Adobe Reader 9.2).

That PDF apparently has pretty ridiculous issues; if you run 
podofouncompress on it, you get zlib errors, but both acroread and poppler 
manage to make some sense of the stream and, at least as far as I can 
tell, look the same now, but apparently not? (Poppler strangely doesn't 
complain about zlib. I'm guessing it doesn't check for errors in some 
location and should.)
