Only even-numbered pages are visible in this PDF file. However, in xpdf there is no such problem.

Binary package hint: evince

I downloaded a PDF file of a book, from RapidShare (link here: http://rapidshare.com/files/278285002/Biochemical_Calculations.pdf). When I try to view this PDF file in evince, only even-numbered pages are visible. I thought the file might be corrupted, but I downloaded it a second time and got the same problem. Therefore, I installed xpdf from the Ubuntu repositories, and the problem was solved: I can now read the whole book!

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 (32-bit), linux kernel 2.6.28-15-generic, evince Document Viewer 2.26.1 using Poppler 0.10.5 (cairo). Fully patched and updated system.

xpdf (which works properly) is version 3.02, Copyright 1996-2007 Glyph & Cog, LLC.

Thanks.

confirmed on karmic. xpdf, acroread and okular render correctly
it's pdf-1.4, optimised, with only scanned images of the pages inside

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

I am not able to download the file from RapidShare. It always says it is only for premium members. Can you please upload a file for which the problem exists to launchpad? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I forwarded this upstream.

Upstream states that this is an issue within poppler. Therefore reassigning.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue is fixed in the current version
