test PDf

Version:           0.12.5 (using KDE 4.6.5)

The attached PDF displays fine in Okular.  However, when I try to print blank pages come out of printer.

Printing with Evince works fine.

Haven't tested with latest Okular.  Debian hasn't packaged it yet.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
open pdf
print

Actual Results:  
blank pages come out of printer

Expected Results:  
pdf printed on paper

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.1.0
Compiler: gcc

True, poppler PSOutputDev seems to be creating invalid .ps for this file. This is nothing we can fix since we rely on poppler PSOutputDev working correctly, please go to https://bugs.freedesktop.org and report a bug saying that pdftops creates and invalid .ps file for this pdf file.

You can reproduce the problem alone without okular doing:
  pdftops myfile.pdf
  gs myfile.ps

And see how gs complains the .ps file is malformed.
