Description Roger Luethi 2007-10-03 06:43:08 UTC

This document is a statistic issued by the Swiss government. According to its metadata, it was produced in September 2007 with Adobe InDesign CS2 (4.0.2).

The document uses several layers. The Acrobat Reader does not show some of the layers by default, but all free readers I tried did, resulting in a garbled display (the difference is very obvious).

I tried:
* Adobe Reader 7.0.8
* evince 0.8.3 (with poppler 0.5.4)
* evince 2.20.0 (with poppler 0.6) (Ubuntu Tribe 5 + updates)
* xpdf 3.01
* kpdf 0.5.7

OK, the subject PDF is using Optional Content Groups.

This is the relevant part (I think) of the document:

We need to think about how to represent that in poppler...

Bug 4925 has a related problem (for OptionalContent that is only ON for Print and Export).

It isn't really a duplicate, but we need the basic OC support before we can fix 4925

This seems to be fixed since poppler 0.11. Feel free to reopen it if the problem is present for you with current poppler.
