BTW, the Okular version is 0.14.1, which is unchoosable.

I don't see any obvious problem in text spacing, can you please be more precise in where the problem is?

The problems are all over the document. Look close at the first line of text for example. On the original pdf you have "UNIQA Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń na Życie S.A." while on the print-out it most of the spacesare gone "UNIQATowarzystwoUbezpieczeń na ŻycieS.A."

It turns out I have several libpoppler versions installed, the newest is 0.16.7

Does the print preview show the correct spacing?

Yes.
Comment 9 Albert Astals Cid 2012-03-21 08:46:19 UTC
Can you confirm that doing in a terminal
pdftops myfile.pdf
gs myfile.ps
also gives you the correct spacing?

Yes.

Then there's nothing more we can do from Okular to fix the problem. What we are sending to the printer subsystem is exactly that myfile.ps file, and if gs renders it correctly it means that the printer subsystem is the one at fault, so you either need to file a bug against cups or againt your printer driver or against something else.
