10 Same here on a generally stable Gentoo on which Kpdf & Xpdf are reliable.
11 IIRC i've seen rare cases of this before, when KGV saved the day.
12 The problem here happens with certain pages in the file, eg p 10 ;
13 some later pages, eg pp 11-12 , are ok.
14 There must be something in a few pages which is not correct PDF format.
15 Has anyone searched Gentoo Forum/Bugs or KDE bugs ?
16 Anyway, it's clearly a bug in Kpdf, which sb reported.
