Description Tristan Miller 2013-04-15 10:37:53 UTC

Okular doesn't render all the text on the PDF I am about to attach, which was produced with Google's Chrome browser.  The first page displays as expected, but almost all the text is missing from the second page.

Evince has a similar problem, except that it displays a small window of text on the second page.  Adobe Reader displays all the text as expected.

Not sure if this is a problem in Okular or its PDF back-end, or possibly a case of Chrome generating bad PDFs.

Reproducible: Always

This is a poppler bug (the library we use to render PDF files), can you please report the bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org against poppler?

Thanks for caring about Okular :-)
