Description Ash 2016-09-11 10:15:58 UTC
Archive.org generates PDFs which have layers. Some are not seen in Okular. I attach a PDF you cannot read in Okular, but it looks fine in any browser plugin or other PDF viewer. Here is a sample PDF: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58231097/189.pdf


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the PDF: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58231097/189.pdf
2. Open it in Okular
3. Open it in anything else reading PDFs

Actual Results:  
I cannot read the text layer of the PDF in Okular

Expected Results:  
The text layer should be readable, like in any other PDF viewer.


Best wishes to KDE and Okular!

Hi,

This looks like a bug in poppler (library for handling PDF). At least, all poppler-based PDF-viewers (qpdfviewer, Evince) do not render it correctly. muPDF shows it as it should.

Please file a bug report against poppler here

Thanks in advance for your work.
