Another very common cause is that the line is drawn... and then covered by
something else.

The one page in your PDF has an extremely large content stream, more than
5MB uncompressed, so it is very likely that some things drawn in it are
covered by others.

To check for this, you'll have to parse it, remember all the objects you are
interested in, and check whether any newly drawn object covers any of them,
partially or completely. I.e. you'll basically have to render the page, just
like Leonard said. ;)
