           Summary: Okular fails to properly render PDF files created by
                    pdflatex
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.7.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde.makes.it.hard.to.register.bugs at gmail.com


Version:           0.7.1 (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I created a LaTeX source file /home/user/kpdf-versus-okular.tex (shown here in
Kate: http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kpdfversusokulartextp5.png ).
Next, I opened up a Terminal (Konsole) and executed: cd /home/user && pdflatex
kpdf-versus-okular.tex; The relevant output of this command is the PDF it
generates: kpdf-versus-okular.pdf. I started KPDF, got rid of all the toolbars,
navigation panels, menubars, etc. and opened /home/user/kpdf-versus-okular.pdf
(shown here: http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kpdfresultsot6.png ).
This is how the page ought to look. I then started Okular, got rid of all the
toolbars, navigation panels, menubars, etc. (just like with KPDF) and opened
/home/user/kpdf-versus-okular.pdf (shown here:
http://img201.imageshack.us/my.php?image=okularresultsov2.png ). Notice the
enormous disparity in the margins between the two PDF viewers. Until recently
(sorry, don't remember exactly when, but definitely sometime around the
weekend), Okular rendered the document just as KPDF does. Looks like a
regression, but I'm no expert, and request the pertinent developers kindly fix
this.

Thanks!
