"Binary package hint: evince

Hi,

the following PDF file (I will attach it later, when launchpad lets me do it) contains text that is highlighted with a yellow overstrike. Evince displays the yellow overstrike, but it completely hides the underlying text.
...
libpoppler2 0.6-0ubuntu1

Are you sure this is really a bug? Acroread 1.5 shows opaque yellow as well.
Comment 2 Carlos Garcia Campos 2007-11-21 01:57:41 UTC 
Yes, it is. They are highlight annotations. Try with acroread 7 for instance.
Comment 3 Brad Hards 2007-12-07 15:07:40 UTC 
It is a PDF 1.4 document, so acroread 5 should be able to handle it. 

I agree we should support the transparency, but the document is also a bit buggy.
Comment 4 Sebastien Bacher 2009-04-17 10:43:37 UTC 
that's still an issue using the current version
