After I emerged the kpdf-3.5.1-r2 (which uses popplernow) doesn't show up pdfs correctly. It only shows the background but no text at all. Downgrading to kde-base/kpdf-3.5.1-r1 and it shows up correctly.

It's the same for every PDF or only with specific ones?
=kpdf-3.5.1-r2 works fine for me, it would be nice if you could attach an example of broken pdf file.
It's only with a specific pdf. Could be caused the others don't have backgrounds. I'm afraid I cannot attach the "broken" pdf due copyright issues.
Does the breakage also happen in evince and xpdf? Please use the latest ~arch versions of both for testing, because those are using poppler.
Yes, it's the same problem with app-text/xpdf-3.01-r7 I didn't install evince, because it has to many dependencies.
so this is clearly popplers fault. Can you please try rebuilding poppler and poppler-bindings with USE=-zlib? I got a pointer from upstream that zlib could be causing problems.
You're right: Rebuilding poppler with USE="-zlib" was enough. Now all is shown correctly.
thank you for reporting this. I bumped the revision and removed the zlib opton from the ebuild.
*** Bug 122198 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I think this should be reopened. I've emerged poppler-0.5.0-r5 where zlib support is dropped and remerged poppler-bindings as well as kpdf-3.5.1-r2 but some pdfs still does not show up correctly. (Pictures are displaced)
Ruben: Can you please open a new bugreport for your issue? It is different. Also I would like you to try xpdf or evince and tell me if the isssue also appears there to find out if it is kpdf or poppler-related.
