Instead of the actual document text, Poppler renders this as a single page that
says:
"To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the
PDF viewer. You can upgrade
to the latest version of Adobe Reader from
www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html"
Actual results:
Evince displays some lame error message embedded in the PDF.
Expected results:
Evince should display a "best effort" rendering of the actual text I want to
read.
Does this happen every time?
Yes.
Other information:
This seemed similar to some other reported bugs in Evince, but in all the ones I looked at, highlighting the text made it visible. In this case, highlighting does nothing.

I think Poppler can do better.
