Package: ghostscript
Version: 8.71~dfsg2-9
Severity: normal


The following LaTeX document initially displays fine with evince and
xpdf, but after cropping it the resulting file is unusable.

Example:

==[latex_a3_paper.tex]================%<-----------------------------

  \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
  \usepackage[a3paper,left=1in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=1in]{geometry}
  \begin{document}

    \newsavebox{\sometxt}
      \sbox{\sometxt}{\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
                        One line of text.\\
  	  	        Another line of text.
                      \end{tabular}}

    \newcommand{\row}{\usebox{\sometxt}\hfill\usebox{\sometxt}\\[5mm]}

    \row\row\row\row\row\row
    \fbox{Crop Me!!\row}
    \row\row\row\row\row\row

    \begin{verbatim}
  pdflatex latex_a3_paper.tex

  gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf -c "[/CropBox [65 850 303 890] /PAGES pdfmark" -f latex_a3_paper.pdf
    \end{verbatim}
  \end{document}
================%<-------------------------------------------------

To follow this example, save the text above to a file
"latex_a3_paper.tex".  Then run:

  pdflatex latex_a3_paper.tex

then:

  gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf -c "[/CropBox [65 850 303 890] /PAGES pdfmark" -f latex_a3_paper.pdf

then:

  evince latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf
<or>
  xpdf latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf

To see latex_a3_paper_cropped.pdf render properly, open it with "gv"
or "emacs".

I tested using ghostscript 10.02.1 and the display with "evince" is the same 
as with "gv".
