I had similar problems a while ago, and did some checking.

Last version was realeased in may 2011, and the project website doesn't seem to exist anymore.
I switched to okular (kdegraphics-okular) .

to bad it was a light pdf viewer. I use okular 5 years but now i switched to xfce4, now i'm building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evince2-light/ is the best option for xfce4 i think.

I used to see something like this with ePDFview...

Try this: Open a file that doesn't display correctly. Now zoom in a little bit. Now zoom out a little bit. Can you see the PDF now?

Oh my gosh, I switched from ePDFview to Okular too! It was a few months ago. I finally stopped worrying and learned to love having multiple widget toolkit libraries.

@drcouzelis that work in some pdf files.

"I finally stopped worrying and learned to love having multiple widget toolkit libraries."

Too much kde specifc deps.

Too much for what? Too big for your drive?

I chose to install every one of those dependencies, just so I could use Okular (and eventually K3B), because it was the best PDF viewer I could find. My root partition is 20 GB, so I have plenty of space that's just WAITING to have applications installed on it. And pacman doesn't care, it'll update whatever I install just fine.

I hope you find a replacement for ePDFview that you like. If you do find something, it'll probably be EXACTLY what I was looking for before I started using Okular.
