Title:
  Evince mis-print a PDF file (which prints ok with lpr or okular)

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Evince incorrectly print some PDFlatex documents.

  Sometimes evince misprints PDF documents produced by pdflatex (at least, 
  not checked with different sources).

  For example, in the included tar.gz file, you have a simple PDF with just
  one equation. The LaTeX source file is beta.tex, and the file produced 
  by pdflatex is pdflatex-beta (obtained by running: 

      pdflatex beta; mv beta.pdf pdflatex-beta.pdf

  ).

  If I visualize the file with evince and print it --- either on a printer 
  or on the CUPS PDF printer, same results, so I add the CUPS PDF printer 
  generated files --- the files is mis-printed, with the "beta" symbol misaligned.
  Notice that the file is correctly visualized by evince, with the symbol in its 
  correct place.

  If I print the file opening it with okular, or directly from command-line 
  with lpr pdflatex-beta.pdf, the output is correct. 

  Attached to this report a tar.gz file with: 
  - the source LaTeX file, beta.tex
  - the resulting PDF file, pdflatex-beta.pdf
  - the result of printing with evince, pdflatex-beta_printed_by_evince.pdf
  - the result of printing with okularm, pdflatex-beta-printed_by_okular.pdf

  As I told, the errors shows exactly in the same form if I print the file 
  to a physical printer.
