Package: ghostscript
Version: 8.71~dfsg2-9
Severity: normal
The following LaTeX document initially displays fine with evince and
xpdf, but after cropping it the resulting file is unusable.
Example:
==[latex_a3_paper.tex]================%<-----------------------------
\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
\usepackage[a3paper,left=1in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=1in]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\newsavebox{\sometxt}
\sbox{\sometxt}{\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
One line of text.\\
Another line of text.
\end{tabular}}
\newcommand{\row}{\usebox{\sometxt}\hfill\usebox{\sometxt}\\[5mm]}
\row\row\row\row\row\row
\fbox{Crop Me!!\row}
\row\row\row\row\row\row
\begin{verbatim}
pdflatex latex_a3_paper.tex
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf -c "[/CropBox [65 850 303
890] /PAGES pdfmark" -f latex_a3_paper.pdf
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}
================%<-------------------------------------------------
To follow this example, save the text above to a file
"latex_a3_paper.tex". Then run:
pdflatex latex_a3_paper.tex
then:
gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf -c "[/CropBox [65 850 303
890] /PAGES pdfmark" -f latex_a3_paper.pdf
then:
evince latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf
<or>
xpdf latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf
To see latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf render properly, open it with "gv"
or "emacs".

I tested using ghostscript 10.02.1 and the display with "evince" is the same
as with "gv".
