I would like this bug to be considered for a Stable Release Update to 14.04 (and 14.10 if applicable)

[Impact]

 * Many PDFs do not display correctly, including the boarding passes from a major European airline

 * Printing a boarding pass is a common simple task which users expect to work, and therefore should be fixed in the stable release.

 * see upstream bug report for discussion about the mechanism of the fix.

[Test Case]

 * attempt to view the test case in the linked upstream bug using 'evince attachment.pdf'

 * observe corrupted text displayed

[Regression Potential]

 * theoretically, other PDFs which currently display correctly could be displayed incorrectly after this change, but is intended to emulate acroread, so this is unlikely.

 * patch has been reviewed and committed upstream, so should be safe

[Other Info]

 * none
