Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

I made a drawing with inkskape and exported it as PDF via cairo. The alpha gradient fillings of boxes will not be displayed correctly in evince. Printing works without any problem.

See for example the attached file. If I display it in evince with 100% zoom, the shaded area will be clipped. If I zoom in, it will be worse. If I zoom out to 50%, everything will be displayed as expected (except for the bad quality of the shading). Compare the screenshot.

The reply to the upstream bug-report suggested that it can be fixed by backporting the new poppler libs.

I have compiled karmic's poppler for jaunty and it works fine at a first glance.

You can get the backport packages from my PPA:
