Does not happen with all PDFs, but with most I have tried, notably
RHL 9 manuals.
Comment 3 Paolo Prandini 2003-05-15 09:33:20 UTC 
Hi. I have downgraded ggv to the previous release that was shipped with Red Hat
Linux 8.0, and the problem went away.

Any update on this issue?
Comment 5 Jonathan Blandford 2003-07-17 17:32:37 UTC 
The ggv author wants to remove pdf support from ggv altogether.  He feels that
pdf's are better served by a dedicated pdf renderer, rather than by using
ghostscript.
