Example pdf file that does not display properly with poppler, but does with acroread

In a course I'm taking, the lecturer uses Nitro Pro 8 to publish his PowerPoint slides as pdf. These do not render correctly in poppler.
I tested with:
*Okular
*Evince
*pdftocairo -png
*pdftoppm -png

I'm using Arch Linux, with poppler version 0.41.

The files render correctly in Adobe Reader 9.5.5 (installed from here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/acroread/). If I open the file with Adobe Reader and use cups-pdf to print it, the resulting pdf  does render correctly in poppler.

The issue seems to be exclusive to slides with Hebrew text.

This document does not embed fonts and when a substitute font is chosen, poppler's probably not going to get a font that has Hebrew characters.  The second document works because the fonts are embedded.  It's the same problem as bug 93299.
