Description Daniel Holbach 2006-02-22 00:19:30 UTC

For both 5.10 (Breezy) and Dapper of 2005-2-20:

When opening http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/labs/learning/Theses/danar.phd.ps.gz with
evince, it says there is only one page. Playing with scrollwheel a bit can bring
us to next pages, but Evince insists that the total document contains 1 page.

ps2pdf can make an Evince-readable pdf of this document.

(latest version to confirm this with is:  Evince 0.5.0, poppler 0.5.0 (cairo))

Whoever told you to report the bug here is completely ignorant of what poppler 
is and how evince works.

Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2006-02-22 05:58:24 UTC

I hit send before ending the explantion, poppler renders pdf files, so its 
completely impossible this bug is a poppler bug.

Comment 3 Daniel Holbach 2006-02-22 06:00:45 UTC

I figured this myself, thanks for the compliment.

Sorry for having cause you additional work. I read other bug reports beforehand
and figured this would be the right place. I apologize and will talk to the
evince authors.

Hi, sorry if i offended you. 
 
But if you have visited our page http://poppler.freedesktop.org/ you would have 
seen "Poppler is a PDF rendering library" 
 
Again i ask you to forgive me.

It's ok. :-)

I'll give the Documentation a go and hope to give you better-quality-bug-reports
the next time and less work.

Have a nice day.

Ok, let's make it even more clear, poppler does not only render PDF, it also 
gets info from the file, like the page number, but your bug is about a PS file, 
so that's what i say the bug is completely poppler unrelated.
