The following PDF (the Canon EOS 30D manual) fails to properly display
the "COPY" overlay.

Xpdf properly displays this file.

Here's the link to the PDF:

Additional details:

The "COPY" overlay displays as if it's opaque, when instead it should be
transparent.  As mentioned before, xpdf gets this right.

Unfortunately, because the overlay is nearly the size of the page itself
and is displayed on top of all pages, this makes the document entirely
unreadable in Evince.

And it's not just this one manual that has this problem.  It's likely
that all of Canon's digital SLR manuals are like this (this certainly
holds for all of the ones I've seen: those for the 20D, the 30D, and the
5D).

Looks like this is a known bug in poppler.
