I have a PDF file which gets rendered by acroread but not Evince or Okular. I thus think that there's a bug in poppler.

Uh, I though I did when filing the bug. Either I made a mistake or the bug-reporting process is broken.
Anyway, here's the PDF.

Ah, turns out, that I can't upload more than 1000kB or so:


The file you are trying to attach is 2184 kilobytes (KB) in size. Non-patch attachments cannot be more than 1000 KB.
We recommend that you store your attachment elsewhere on the web, and then insert the URL to it in a comment, or in the URL field for this bug.
Alternately, if your attachment is an image, you could convert it to a compressible format like JPG or PNG and try again. 


Please find the full PDF at http://muelli.cryptobitch.de/tmp/map.pdf or cat the following pieces to a pdf, e.g. cat map* > map.pdf

I forgot to mention that I'm using "Document Viewer 2.24.2 Using poppler 0.8.7 (cairo)".

The PDF can be rendered with the actual version, but it will take a lot of time (and memory).
The reason for this is not only that it uses round about 34000 line operations, but considerable morr the output size of this PDF: 8000 x 8000 pt (or nearly 3 m x 3 m). Rendering it only with 72 dpi have to fill a bitmap of 8000 x 8000 pixel, so round about 200 MByte.
Rendering it with i.e. only 10 dpi is much faster and still produce a well preview :-)

Closing the bug following thomas requests, it's not that the file doesn't render it's just that if you want to render this at 100% it will take a time, so don't do it if that's not what you want ;-)

If you disagree please reopen the bug and explain why
