This problem persists on Ubuntu 11.10, as demonstrated by the attached screen shot.
The screen shot shows the hidden text selected. In both selected and unselected states, the text is not visible. Removing previously decided importance level to encourage re-evaluation in light of comments made since the bug was opened. ** Attachment added: "screen shot of affected PDF, with text selected for visibility" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/286774/+attachment/2624044/+files/evince-text-not-visible.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286774 Title: cannot see text, only line art Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: evince Sometimes when I open a pdf the text is completely missing.
