[Charles Baylis <charles.baylis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like this bug to be considered for a Stable Release Update to
14.04 (and 14.10 if applicable)

[Impact]

 * Many PDFs do not display correctly, including the boarding passes
from a major European airline

 * Printing a boarding pass is a common simple task which users expect
to work, and therefore should be fixed in the stable release.

 * see upstream bug report for discussion about the mechanism of the
fix.

[Test Case]

 * attempt to view the test case in the linked upstream bug using
'evince attachment.pdf'

 * observe corrupted text displayed

[Regression Potential]

 * theoretically, other PDFs which currently display correctly could be
displayed incorrectly after this change, but is intended to emulate
acroread, so this is unlikely.

 * patch has been reviewed and committed upstream, so should be safe

[Other Info]
 
 * none
