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
