Title:
Comparatively poor rendering in Evince
Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evince
I reported a bug in Evince earlier relating to poor rendering of
certain pdfs (in comparison to xpdf and Adobe). The bug was fixed for
a huge class of pdfs. (Bug #490918)
However, I recently found a pdf which Evince doesn't render as
perfectly as xpdf or Adobe Reader.
I've attached a tar file containing a screenshot comparing the same
pdf rendered in Evince (upper left), Adobe (right) and xpdf (bottom).
The tar file also contains the particular pdf which shows this
problem.
What's weird is that if I print the pdf to a pdf file from Evince, the
new printed pdf renders perfectly in Evince (as good as it renders in
xpdf and Adobe).
I suggest downloading the png file and viewing it in 'Normal Size' in
say, Eye of Gnome, so that it looks just like it did on my screen.
(Otherwise, you probably won't notice the differences. And trust me,
the slightly inferior rendering can be quite irritating when reading
pages of scanned handwritten notes!)
