Barcode not displayed correctly on resized pdf

After resizing a pdf with the folloiwng command: pdfposter -mA6 -pA6 infile.pdf testipostiA6.pdf

Evince (poppler library) does not display the tracking barcode. Poppler library is used by Evince to render PDF. However, when opened with other programs, the barcode is displayed correctly.

I first reported it as bug in Evince, but after Evince developer tested it and found it to be a bug in poppler I was asked to report it here.

Here is the resized pdf where poppler does not display the tracking barcode: Posti-47ad8469-e79a-4763-afff-193fbfc2ebd1.pdf

Expected result with barcode visible (personal data masked): Kuvakaappaus_2019-03-13_15-08-55

Poppler produced result without barcode (personal data masked): Kuvakaappaus_2019-03-13_07-47-03

Here is the Evince bug report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/1105
