Bug Description

Evince (or rather Evince's PDF back end - but I don't know what that is, so
Evince will have to do) is displaying a PDF incorrectly.

The Canon Digital Rebel XT Manual - available from
http://alpha03.c-wss.com/inc/ApplServlet?SV=WWUCA900 - simply displays "Copy" on
each page, and none of the content. XPDF does the same thing whilst Acrobat
Reader displays the file correctly.

Cheers,

Andrew

i have also a problem with this pdf.

http://www.arcor.de/pdf/agb/internet/agb_isdn_dsl.pdf

the right side is black, but the search recognize the letters.

but in gpdf and xpdf it works fine.

i am not sure, if it's the same bug or if it is a new bug worth.
