Description Tony White 2008-10-07 14:51:03 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Using Okular to read Haynes manuals http://www.haynes.co.uk/
very useful for motor mechanics.
However the contents list on the top of every page are displayed unreadably.

The rest of the document is displayed fine, However the contents in the manual are very important to seek repair information without reading or scanning through the whole document.

I would include a page from a manual but cannot due to the fact the books are copyrighted, Sorry.

I have added a screenshot

Completely inreadable without Zooming right in.
Adobe reader has no such problem.

Hello Tony,

Okular does not load and render PDF documents by itself, but uses a library called Poppler. The problem is in that library, so you should report a bug in its bug tracking system, https://bugs.freedesktop.org, "poppler" product.

Thanks for understanding and the feedback.
