I retested this on a theory (see 164233.tar.gz). Test1.pdf is from the steps above, and produces a chunky result as described. test2.pdf however was created using the print to file method of creating pdf files, which I believe is a completely different library, and it looks right (at least on this system).
This leads me to believe that the issue is in /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libpdffilterlo.so or OpenOffice/LibreOffice. ** Attachment added: "164233.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/164233/+attachment/2901065/+files/164233.tar.gz ** Also affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/164233 Title: [Upstream] [hardy] Opening pdf with smooth gradient in Evince displays striped Status in Evince document viewer: New Status in Poppler: New Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy evince evince: Installed: 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.2 Candidate: 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.2 Version table: *** 2.32.0-0ubuntu12.2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.32.0-0ubuntu12 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected in Impress via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/164233/+attachment/2281555/+files/example.odp && loimpress -nologo example.odp export the file with Gradient 1 inserted into the background to pdf ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/164233/+attachment/2281556/+files/example.pdf ), open the pdf with Evince and it looks as it does in both Impress and Adobe Reader. 4) What happens instead is Evince shows a striped gradient.
