Evince 2.20.1 Since last "emerge --update --deep world" evince can't print pdf documents. I get only empty pages. Same for print preview, only empty pages are displayed. No error message. Screen display of PDF ducuments is fine. Printing and preview works fine for PostScript documents. Other applications can print. I do "emerge poppler", "emerge poppler-bindings", "emerge evince" and "revdep-rebuild". No succes. I did some google search about this problem, found nothing. Best regards Stefan Salewski Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.evince document.pdf 2.show print preview or 3.print Actual Results: empty pages Expected Results: pages with contents
Works fine here... Please post emerge --info

Oh, and does it happen on multiple PDFs? Or just one?

Additional remark: epdfview prints PDF documents fine!
I am having exactly the same problem that Stefan reports. I am using evince on an up-to-date Gentoo system on a Thinkpad T60 (pure 64-bit). The trouble started after I did a recent emerge --update --deep world and evince 2.20 got installed as a result.
Some more info: evince generates temporary postscript files for print preview in /tmp. These files seems to be buggy: I did pdflatex small2e.tex (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/) to generate a valid pdf file, open it with evince (display is ok) and use print/print preview. A file called /tmp/evince_print.ps.U7CJ1T is generated: stefan@AMD64X2 /tmp $ cat evince_print.ps.U7CJ1T %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%Creator: cairo 1.4.10 (http://cairographics.org) %%CreationDate: Thu Nov 15 21:20:06 2007 %%Pages: 1 %%BoundingBox: 0 0 596 842 %%DocumentData: Clean7Bit %%LanguageLevel: 2 %%EndComments %%BeginProlog /C{curveto}bind def /F{fill}bind def /G{setgray}bind def /L{lineto}bind def /M{moveto}bind def /P{closepath}bind def /R{setrgbcolor}bind def /S{show}bind def /xS{xshow}bind def /yS{yshow}bind def /xyS{xyshow}bind def %%EndProlog % _cairo_ps_surface_emit_font_subsets %%Page: 1 1 %%BeginPageSetup %%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 596 842 gsave 0 841.889764 translate 1.0 -1.0 scale %%EndPageSetup grestore showpage %%Trailer %%EOF stefan@AMD64X2 /tmp $ There is no text in this file, I check with other pdf files too.

I have the same problem on an amd64 system. Instead, on an x86 updated the same day as the amd64 one, print/print-preview works fine. evince and poppler versions are the same on the two systems, but gtk+ is not: belardi@ws2912 ~ $ emerge --search gtk+ Searching...

Is an upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489774 Will be fixed in new version
So, that bug makes it sound like evince was built against a bum version of poppler, for some reason. Could you try re-emerging poppler (and poppler-bindings) then re-emerging evince to see if it fixes it? I'll investigate the upstream patch, in the meantime.
After: # emerge -a --oneshot poppler poppler-bindings evince I tested evince against some files from: http://live.gnome.org/Evince/Testing Print preview works like a charm, can't test print process though
People still having this problem: what versions of poppler and poppler-bindings do you have?

Ok, I added cairo to my global useflags and did emerge --update --deep --newuse world revdep-rebuild emerge --oneshot evince reboot Now print preview of evince is working! I have no idea why global useflag cairo in necessary now -- old evince was working fine without "cairo" in file /etc/make.conf Best regards Stefan Salewski
Thanks for figuring this out. I'll take this upstream. I may have to require the cairo backend...
Had the same problem, and 2.20.2 fixed it (cairo not in use flags, but it is installed as it's a dependency for other programs).
I have now the same problem with evince-2.20.2 :'(
Upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483002
Please, try re-emerging poppler-bindings with USE="-cairo" and re-emerge evince after it for using "splash" backend instead of "cairo". It works fine for me (I have already post this in upstream bugzilla)
@Stefan and Pacho, What's the status on this bug? Is 0.8 still having the same bug? Thanks
I am still using stable poppler-0.6.3-r1, and I have global cairo useflag set. Evince works fine.

Seems fixed for me with evince-2.22 and poppler-0.8 :-)
Are people still affected by this with poppler*-0.8*?
Seems to work fine now, with and without cairo useflag. (I just removed cairo useflag and reemerged poppler-bindings and evince.) So I would suggest to close this bug now. app-text/poppler-bindings-0.8.7 USE="gtk qt3 qt4 -cairo -test" 0 kB app-text/evince-2.22.2-r1 USE="dbus gnome tiff -debug -djvu -doc -dvi -gnome-keyring -t1lib" 0 kB
Closing then as stable evince has this fixed ans reporter has confirmed that it's also fixed for him Thanks!
