[Bug 661724] Re: Printing certain documents yields characters scattered all over the page
This turned out to be a bug not in evince but in the cairo library (that evince uses for printing). I submitted it upstream and it got fixed immediately: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31062 Now the only task remaining is to get this fix into Ubuntu. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #31062 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31062 ** Also affects: cairo via http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31062 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Printing certain documents yields characters scattered all over the page https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

As Toki pointed out, now my own documents, which I produce using pdflatex as well, have the same problem. If I print using the vieewer epdfview I have no problem. -- Printing certain documents yields characters scattered all over the page https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I am also affected by this bug. But contrary to the first posting, print to file has the same problem, and even the print preview contains the scattered letters. The result from my experiments with the aforementioned spring-reference.pdf were: - printing directly from evince has scattered letters - printing to pdf has scattered letters - selecting print to file with the pdf option yields scattered letters (in the print preview and the file) - printing via command line lpr spring-reference.pdf works! - printing to ps works - selecting print to file with the ps option works (in the print preview and the file) - other viewers (such as xpdf) work, because they simply use the lpr command It also doesn't work with my personal pdf files, which were created by pdflatex. So they probably don't contain obscure propietary pdf extensions... Thus I suspect a bug in the pdf processing of the gnome or evince printing framework. -- Printing certain documents yields characters scattered all over the page https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
