Bug#687379: supplied pdf needs to be verified

Is there any PDF viewer other than Adobe Acrobat which renders the
supplied PDF as expected? Is there any non-poppler PDF viewer capable
of this?

AFAICT poppler or any of the viewers based on it do not guarantee to
render everything named .pdf as Adobe Acrobat would render it.

The bug titles are also inaccurate - both viewers are capable of
displaying images, it's just that some images might not render
correctly with certain test files. This could easily be a bug in
whatever program created the original PDF files. Other PDF files render
correctly in all the PDF viewers I have on this system. If there is a
bug here and the PDF files are valid, then the bug may be in poppler -
I have been unable to find a PDF viewer based on poppler which renders
the supplied file as described - equally I've yet to find a PDF file
*other* than the single one supplied which does *not* render correctly
in any of the poppler-based PDF viewers.
