Hi,

I need to check the renderings of various viewers for various output
systematically.

So I call the viewer in a script with a specific magnification, use xwd
to dump its window contents and then process the dumps at various
magnifications.

Evince appears to be quite useless for that, and going through the issue
reports makes it look as though its creators are proud of this "we know
better than you what you want" attitude.

If you want to check rendering, then it is pointless to use Evince for
that. Evince is just a shell and you might get different results
depending of the version of poppler you have installed.

Instead, you should use pdftocairo, which has the options you are
looking for.
