Greetings again.  I wrote, back in March 2016,

Well, the following pdf document, downloaded from the real world,
triggers apparently similar gv behaviour

  https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/resources-and-education/legislation/public-consultations-and-reviews/short-stay-accommodation-panel

on most but not all of its pages ?!  for example the first 8 pages
(up to page number 6) and then also on most of the rest.  Also,
I think, but I'm not sure, that which pages get switched into
Seascape and cropped varies every time I view the document ?!

OTOH, xpdf displays the document in A4 Portrait as intended :-)

Looks to me like gv has a problem.  What needs to happen now ?
Should I just give up gv and adopt xpdf ?

I'm on debian stable, gv Version: 1:3.7.4-1

Regards,  Peter
