Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.00-13
Severity: normal

3 particular PDFs do not render as expected. The text seems randomised in xpdf
but not acroread.

Steps to reproduce:
wget http://www.australianwildlife.org/wmmay05.zip 
http://www.australianwildlife.org/wmoct04.zip 
http://www.australianwildlife.org/wmjun04.zip
unzip wmmay05.zip wmoct04.zip wmjun04.zip
xpdf wm*.pdf

xpdf is launched, displaying 3 PDFs, all with incorrect text rendering.
The text is garbled - seems to display random characters, not warped or
stretched:

Expected results:
Display the normal text like acroread does:

Seems this is an upstream bug since gpdf/evince also suffer from it
(bugs filed). I couldn't find an upstream bts for xpdf, so I'm
submitting it here.
