Description Carlos Garcia Campos 2010-05-18 00:07:42 UTC
Bug forwarded from Evince: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617707

"I'm starting the paperwork for the naturalization process, and while evince
doesn't seem to be all that good at filling out PDF's, I didn't really expect
that. However, I _did_ expect it to be able to see them and print them out.

Sadly, it looks like USCIS has done some of the documents with a new version of
Adobe acrobat, and I can't even view them, much less print them out with
evince.

See for example form G-1145, available from the USCIS site here:

      http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-1145.pdf

for something that doesn't view with the current version of evince as available
in Fedora-12. 

I've not tried to compile any newer versions myself."

There's a test case and a screenshot attached to the original bug report.
