PDF file displayed incorrectly, blue patterns appear on it

Here are two screenshots of how the file is displayed.

it doesnt look fine here either with jaunty, but that's more like a poppler issue, reassigning , thanks.

I've sent this upstream at: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20514 ; thanks for reporting.

Still getting the blue blotches under Karmic 9.10 with all the latest updates:

Uname: Linux 2.6.31-16-generic i686
evince 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2
libpoppler5 0.12.0-0ubuntu2.1

Still getting the blue blotches under Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx alpha 2.

Uname: Linux 2.6.32-10-generic i686
Packages:
evince 2.29.5-0ubuntu1
poppler 0.12.2-2.1ubuntu3

Supposedly this is the same bug as freedesktoop bug 16906 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16906 (also originally reported through launchpad) although it certainly doesn't look like it.

Pedro - are you able to compile from git and test? I lack the knowledge and experience to do so.

bug #252552 could be the same bug...

Yeah, bug #252552 is the bug that the fdo bug I mentioned is based on. I looks like a completely different symptom to me, but you have a lot more knowledge and experience than I do, so I'll trust you. What would be great is if you are able to compile from git and test.

Wish I could do that, might do some research on it on the weekend if other things pan out OK thus leaving some spare time.

Never mind, I just read the reply to my comment at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20514

You were spot on.

Compiling from git and testing would still be nice though.

This bug was fixed in the package poppler - 0.12.3-0ubuntu1

I've just updated Lucid Lynx 10.04 alpha 2 to poppler - 0.12.3-0ubuntu1. I can confirm that the attached PDF file now displays correctly.
