I've got a PDF document that I would like to be able to read... but for some reason a number of the embedded pictures and graphs don't display cleanly when opened in evince or okular on Ubuntu 13.04 (they display normally in Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows 7). I've tried downloading and installing Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.5 and FoxIt Reader 1.1 in .deb format and get warnings about bad packaging format, etc. Even when I click thru to install anyway, the install process would hang up over and over again.
Are there any other viable options out there?
Just for reference, here is a download link for the offending file if anyone cares to test it on their machine (warning - 67+MB file):
I can confirm the issue on Ubuntu 12.04 with Evince 3.4.0 installed. Given how this occurs both under Evince and Okular it's likely an issue with the PDF backend, libpoppler. You might want to report a bug and link to the sample file. That's the only surefire way to get this fixed.
As a workaround I would advise to use Chrome's inbuilt (and proprietary) PDF viewer. Also, you should be able to install Adobe Reader from the Ubuntu Software Center. It should take care of all the dependency issues automatically.
If you are using Firefox, what happens if you drag and drop the pdf in the browser? (Firefox has a builtin pdf viewer)
I tried to open your file with Evince and embedded graphics are not display clearly. But it did not happen with Foxit Reader 6 on Wine. So this is a bug of Evince. Don't worry!
