[bug-gv] Bug with Springer pdfs

[David Wagner]

I have found that gv doesn't display PDFs produced by
Springer-Verlag (aka Springer) correctly.

Springer is one of the major publishers for certain areas of
computer science.  They have electronic versions of their papers at
www.springerlink.com (SpringerLink).  Those PDFs don't display right
with gv: the right and top parts are cut off.  It's like the margins
are extended too far, overwriting part of the text with white space,
and thus making the right portion of the text unreadable.  In
comparison, ghostscript, acroread, xpdf, and evince display these
PDFs correctly.

To make it easy for you to reproduce this, here is an example PDF
that shows this behavior:

  http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/tmp/keeloq.pdf 

And here are screenshots showing how the first page shows up using
gv, ghostscript, and Adobe acroread, on my computer:

  http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/tmp/screenshot-acroread.png 

The PDF file is obtained from here, but you will need a Springerlink
subscription to obtain the PDF from Springer directly:

Here's some version information.  I'm using Fedora 12 on a x86-64
platform.

$ gv -version               
gv 3.6.7
$ rpm -q gv ghostscript ghostscript-fonts AdobeReader_enu
gv-3.6.7-2.fc12.x86_64
ghostscript-8.70-5.fc12.x86_64
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-23.fc12.noarch
AdobeReader_enu-9.3-1.i486
$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
Fedora release 12 (Constantine)
$ uname -a
Linux senfl.cs.berkeley.edu 2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 9

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance for your help, and for the wonderful
software.
