Comment # 1 on bug 780693 from Germán Poo-Caamaño

The issue is in poppler, the library used to render PDF by Evince. Please file
a bug in Poppler's bugzilla in:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=poppler


For example, using only poppler tools like:

$ pdftoppm '/home/gpoo/Descargas/epiphany/22.pdf' p22

Generates p22-1.ppm which does no render any text, except the logo (and its
text) at the right and the footer.

The output in console show many errors as well. The first lines are:

And the pdf file to reproduce the problem is where?

What is "See bug 780693" supposed to mean?

Can you send me your email address? I will send you the pdf file. This file is strictly confidential.

The file is broken as hell.

I've improved our "broken file workarounds" a bit to make it a work.
