When I go in the page, click "Print Preview" to see how many pages am I going to print, I find only 1 page is availiable to be printed. But in fact there are more than 10 pages should be printed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the page http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:kAMSfzZA95gJ:home.gwu.edu/~jostova/BADM115/tb08.pdf+%22Stock+A+has+a+required+return+of+10+percent%22&hl=zh-TW
2. Click "Print Preview"

Actual Results:  
Only one page was detected

Expected Results:  
More than 10 pages should be detected

Clearing security flag, don't see why that's set.

Can confirm only the first page shows up in Print Preview, and the printing dialogs offer to print page "1 of 1". The linked page is a Google-converted .pdf where every element is an absolutely positioned <div>, maybe that's messing us up here

Confirming to New, I am seeing this too with Firefox 1.5 using the url in this bug.

I can reproduce the bug, with the attached testcase, in Nightly 2018-08-31. (I get 2 pages, not 1 page, but nearly-all of the content is clipped at the bottom of the first page.)

Current Nightly shows all pages (though it does slice text at page boundaries).

--> This was fixed by bug 1681052, the "Fragmentation fallback". Remaining text-slicing cosmetic issue is tracked in followup bug 1759926.
