It looks from the patch that it requires cairo 1.8.2, so it would
require a non-trivial backport for both hardy and intrepid. Could
someone who actually understands it confirm this, and decide if this

The point is that the backported evince (using prevu) is using
libpoppler3 instead of libpoppler4. Is there a quick way to have the

libpoppler3 from the backported poppler from prevu?

You can recompile evince, same version you're using without any

poppler. I did this to use poppler3 in hardy without any issues.

Oh, I was wrong: The text in the preview (takes about 1 min to generate)
appears blurry only at the beginning. When I zoom in, the quality becomes
better after another 2 mins of waiting.
If I print one page into pdf, the generated pdf is 2.4 MB big, the originial

I don't think getting around the issue is the solution. Evince is the official
pdf viewing application for Gnome and should be able to work out of the box.
Also, acroread does not work straightforwardly for amd64. Plus it is a software
one has to add manually, just like xpdf.
So fact is Ubuntu
gorgor: I completely agree.
Why is this considered only medium?
Perhaps because evince primarily fails to print SCIENTIFIC pdfs? (I am asking

For example, I think it has a lot of problems with PDFs created by TeX / LyX.
But perhaps it works tolerably well with PDFs
