Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

Evince Document Viewer 0.9.3 shows the background pictures, but not the text of the following PDF
downloadable from http://www.promise.com/upload/datasheet/1_SS1600_DS_web.pdf

Selecting (holding the mouse button and moving) the white area within Evince shows that the text is present
and Evince highlight the selected text.

Maybe the text color is white on a white background as defined in the document..
however this document is a datasheet of a hardware product, so I expect other PDF programs to show it properly.

For example the program xpdf (3.02-1.1ubuntu1) displays the text inside properly.
