I have some generated PDF files that looks OK on display (any PDF viewer),
but when printed by Okular, there are missing spaces between words (but not everywhere). It seems that reason is in 'pdfto'ps' tool which is part of the poppler package.

Reporuction:
File 'Sestava.pdf'given have correct spacing like "Zahranicni cetovni prikaz"

pfdtops Sestava.pdf
gs Sestava.ps

... resulting PS file have wrong spacing like "Zaharanicnicestovniprikaz"

I suppose that the problem is not in PDF itself since it is displayed correctly and also correctly converted by 'pdf2ps' tool or printed by 'evince'.


version of poppler tools is 0.18.4, OS: KUbuntu 12.04 LTS
Comment 1 Jan Brezina 2012-12-03 12:07:53 UTC 
One more remark: It seems that the problem is not with the poppler library itself since up to my knowledge the other tools that use poppler library (evince, incscape) produce correct result. Also other tools from poppler package sees to work correctly.

What version are you using? I can reproduce the problem with 0.18.4 but not with 0.21.3. So it looks like a bug that has already been fixed.
Comment 3 Adrian Johnson 2012-12-03 12:16:19 UTC 
Nevermind. I didn't notice that you had already specified that you were using 0.18.4. Upgrading to 0.21.3 should fix the problem.
